to everyone whos replied so far!!!


cheers!!!!

Hey Mick I've got a few more questions that your list has thrown up.

1. Why are Europeans so crap at boxing? Only Britain is any good, the rest are useless, why is that?

2. How can Comlumbia have 3 top ten fighters, I thought they weren't allowed to turn pro?

3. I've got an idea to make Britain the most succesful country in the world..... bare with me here,

Firstly, get rid of the flyweight division, it's crap 108lb men could be beaten up by you and me, plus then we get rid of all of Japans top fighters, Britain climbs 1 place.
Secondly ban the heavyweight division. Lets face it they are all so bad they need to be all retired. Result, six less top US fighters, Britain is gaining some more places.
Thirdly and most controversial, we make the lowest fight weight 154lbs. Ok it's difficut and a lot of good fighters would go, but Hatton is a porker so he could come up, Mayweather is heading there anyway and Corales really needs to put on some weight, the rest of them , well F*** em there has to be some casualties. Good news is though that now we've lost all the Mexicans!

Horray, Britain is the second most succesful boxing nation in the world, just behind US. All we need to do now is to wait another 10 years and the US will be so full of fatties that none of them will be able to make the 190lb max weight limit and Britain is number 1 fighting nation in the world.

Come on you know it makes sense, restoring some British Pride!! :P

That was funny man. Only thing that made sense was that Hatton IS indeed a porker. Also to my knowledge Colombians can turn pro, its the Cubans who are not allowed to. That's why Casamayor had to defect to the US to fight professionaly and make da big bucks.

Britian has alot more than 4 belt holders...

Johnny Nelson, Clinton woods, Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton, Scott Harrison... then the likes of Micheal Jennings, Wayne Alexander etc all hold belts
