Are British boxers too protected these days.

Now can everyone one see that wbo isn't a real title cos the WBC wouldn't put up with this shite!!!
Example: I'm Sergio Martinez iv got the WBC then I'm going to defend against chris eubank jr or a ranked 200 fighter. I mean come on that's what real champs are about isn't it? I mean cleverly I thought was a champ and had passion and fans?? Chuckle chuckle

It seem you worship at the alter of the WBC, this organisation is just as corrupted as the rest you are
fooling yourself otherwise.The WBC ban Chisora without a hearing at lest the BBBC had a hearing and
he will have a appeal.At one time the WBC were bed fellow's with one Mr King if you did not fight for
King no WBC shot for you my friend.
Don't kid yourself about boxing's governing body's,none are whiter than white remember that bit of
plastic around there wast,its the fighter not the belt that's a real Champion.

Cleverly gets protected cuz he sucks.

Promising young british fighters dont get babied as much. Take Kev for instance. He took on a very dangerous prescott and took em to school.. Then a prime katsidis etc...

There is no choice but to protect guys like cleverly and burns although hes scottish or whatever.lol they are limited, domestic talents.

Kell brook may have been protected but hes still the truth..

Kev and brook are the real deals.. Rest of them are ordinary and must be protected.. Look for ricly burns to go on that belt milking tour against part time fish n chips makers. Looks like hres already starting to make excuses to back out from a showdown with kev... Talking about conflict of schedules blah blah..

If thats the case he should give up the title and fight the lower fighters without pretending they are top opposition. When Warren and Clev avoid there manditory ranked ninth in the world and take on someone ranked 40th in the world, they might as well give the belt up. There are people in line who have earned a shot at this title and Clev and Warren have worked it so a undeserving fighter gets a shot just because he is a safer fight. ITS ALL WRONG.

British fighters are no more protected than they were many years ago or most other countries. As has been said, the aim is to maximise the income of the fighter, and then try and achieve things in that order. Fighters will eventually find their level in the end but ability (think Galzaghe or Naz), age (think Froch), ring wars (think Froch again) and ambition (think Hatton leaving Warren) are factors that influence how far they progress.

Well I for one am a fan of a fighter. I didnt watch the last two cleverly fights properly, just sky plus and fast foward it to a ko or decision victory. As far as Murray goes I remember people saying how he was the next best thing but knew as soon as he was put against reasonably good opposition he would lose. He was prowd of his record for being the british fighter with most fights undefeated. But they were a bunch of losers. I just cant enjoy watching people beat on weaker people for so long.
I know UFC is less entertaining than boxing but at least the fighters are challenged at the right level.

you have to think about timing too

take john murray as a good example, im not saying he was ever a world beater but had he been stepped up a few fights before then maybe he would have progressed a bit better

perhaps not the strongest example

by the way i think the opening post is very harsh

[Galaxy]

I think there are some that are & some that aren't

Groves & DeGale have been match-up ok

Always rated kell brook for way way back and even though he hasn't really been tested though he looked really good against durable Mathew hatton.kell brook didn't even break sweat againt hatton and made a great account of himself as a great uk prospect.kevin Mitchell is coming on strong after getting his private life issues out the way.kevin mitchell is worth a world title.Ricky burns is looking awesome at his new weight and proved his worth at world title level.David price is another good prospect for us Brits think he has the right tools to dominate the heavyweight division after a bit more experience.
