Are British boxers too protected these days.

[erics44]

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.

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
