If Joe, David and Ricky all lose.....

Where will that leave british boxing?

on life support

on life support

Exactly right, and I have a horrible feeling this might actually happen. If it does I imagine fingers will be crossed for Harrison V Rogan haha.

[Boxing Gloves]

If Calzaghe, Haye and Hatton somehow lost who would we then have?

Froch is what 30? He is very good but Kessler would beat him.

We then have Cook, who lets be fair is a decent fighter,
but even as WBO champion he is out of his depth mixing
in that sort of pool, even though Foster jr is going to guarentee him
atleast 1 succesful defence.

Then looking at people like Kevin Mitchell, he is good, but his defence
is his downfall, and his power is ok but wont be good enough
at the higher levels, he also seems to lack discipline to stick to a game plan,
if he wins a title, it will be just like Cook and Arthur, just a paper champion
who wont be looked at as a serious belt holder.

Khan has world class offensive skills, but lets be serious unless Roach works miracles with Amir then he wont amount to anything close to his dreams and own ambitions.

I did rate John Murray, but since his fight with Hamidi ive written him off and believe he will be lucky to suceed at european level.

Munroe is ok, but to be fair isnt even going to last much longer at european level in my opinion, Dunne would beat him.

So who then?

Nathan Cleverly?
Kenny Anderson?
Denton Vassell?
Stephen Smith?
James Degale?
Frankie Gaven?
Billy Joe Saunders?
Bradley Saunders?
Tony Jefferies?

Those guys are the future i guess some i'll have missed off im sure, some havent even turned over yet,
infact some of them may never turn over into the pro's, but they
all have a long way to go before they can even talk about fighting
for a world title.

Don't forget the A-Force.:lol:

[MattMattMatt]

Don't forget the A-Force.:lol:

...and Julius Francis.

[robpalmer135]

calzaghe and hatton are pretty much on the way out anyway. froch will take lead as the big name.

[dwilson]

Without hype.

[jc]

We would be stuffed, though we have been spoiled in recent years, with the suiccess we have had.

Hatton will lose everyone else will win.

[stonerose]

imagine it on the main forum, unbearable .

[trotter]

It would be time to close the Brit forum

[C HOP]

then i hope Golden James Chunky Degale becomes PRO

[El Cepillo]

Where will that leave british boxing?

Fucked. But they won't, at least 2 of them will win I think.

[El Cepillo]

It would be time to close the Brit forum

No way, not while Audley 'A-Force' Harrison and Amir 'Iron Chin' Khan are fighting!

[1stcontact]

The site would go into meltdown.....it would make Chernobyl look like a fireworks display:deal

[robpalmer135]

if Calzaghe, Hatton, Haye and Hatton all lost, ****** would actually blow his load live on sky box office.

[Danny]

Where will that leave british boxing?

Not too sure what state that would leave British boxing, but I think its fair to say it would not be a good state lol!

If all three loses, I'll regret not going to Paddy Power & having a bet on all three losing, because I imagine you would get generous odds for that one!

[Beeston Brawler]

Jones 5/2
Barrett 10/3
Malignaggi 15/8

All to win the fights outright - not pts, ko, ko1-3, ko9 or whatever.

A £1 investment with SkyBet guarantees you £43.60

[djoc175]

not to forget enzo mac who should win back the wbo strap and could beat most cws around at world level now that haye is gone imo.hatton and calzaghe will both be retired within a year so its time for froch and haye to step up anyhow

[GazOC]

I think we'll be go 3-0 in those fights.

[Beeston Brawler]

Well.......

Calzaghe 2/7
Haye 1/5
Hatton 4/11

A £1 investment gets you £2.10

[socrates]

Where will that leave british boxing?it will leave the gates open for the next generation i.e frankie gavin etc.

[GazOC]

:lol: I think I'll pass, esp. Haye at heavyweight @ 1/5!!

[GazOC]

it will leave the gates open for the next generation i.e frankie gavin etc.

We havn't got a "next generation" at world level.

[socrates]

We havn't got a "next generation" at world level.the general idea is to evolve,im sure we will produce the goods over time.

[ScouseLad]

We havn't got a "next generation" at world level.

Aye, a casual fan was asking me the other day who'll be the next top Brit ala Hatton, Calzaghe, I couldnt really name one! We dont have anyone coming through imo that makes you think "Yeah he'll defo be top top class" so I just ended up talking about Haye and Froch and how theyve both hopefully got a lot to achieve in the future, though I dont see Haye sticking around for that long win or lose.

[Beeston Brawler]

I think having two top 10 P4P fighters is a rare thing for Britain, especially over an extended period as we have.

Perhaps we need to accept that we may have to accept just one, or fringe P4P'ers for a while.

[GazOC]

the general idea is to evolve,im sure we will produce the goods over time.

Sure we will over time but over the next 3 to 5 years theres no one that I can see.

[Beeston Brawler]

We have had it pretty good lately though, it must be said.

[BazRandall]

We don't have to much world class talent outside those 3, so we'll be pushing fighters like munroe, murray and cleverley out of there comfort zone and into harder fights, to quickly IMO in order to satisfy the british fight fans.
Altho i see hatton going for a couple more years yet and i think IMO that calzaghe will probably get a good win in good style and fight on?????

[realsoulja]

cook

[sstevelcfc]

calzaghe keeps saying this will be his last fight
hatton probably got 2 more at most so we are about there anyway
froch is 30 so hes not gonna be around much longer thats if he beats pascall
i like rendall munroe but cant see him doing much at world level to be honest so i think were struggling
james degale is one i will be watching think he could be promising

[bored]

Munroe is unlucky, He's in such a strong division and he can't really move up, he lacks power at this weight.

If all these fighters lose we'll be fucked but I doubt it will happen.
