    In the last twenty years, the UK has had:

    Benn
    Eubanks
    Watson
    Collins
    Calzaghe
    Hatton
    Woods
    Haye
    Macaroni
    Khan
    Lewis
    Frank
    Fighting Farmer
    Hamed
    Ingle

    That's a very solid collection of fighters (and I didn't include titlists like Nelson, Arthur, Rees etc). Very solid. Quite a few of them are genuinely world class operators (Hatton, Joe, the Farmer, Lennox obviously, Benn, Eubanks, Watson, Naz...)

    What we have now is:

    ???

    Froch is absolutely world class. Cleverly is decent. So is Burns. Kai is promising. The rest are shit. This is a bad spell for British boxing. Very bad.

    The thing is, you lot may think the upcoming breed of British boxers are shit, but they provide good quality fights. All about good matchmaking.

    The first fight between Derry Mathews and Anthony Crolla was very entertaining. Good tear-up. They are facing each other again soon.

    Are you familiar with Gavin's domestic welterweight rival, Denton Vassell?
