You actually think that the Brits have had more success than Americans? Please give me a good argument. I understand there are many more people living in America than in the UK, but I think it's pretty obvious that Americans have had way more success than Brits at boxing.

I mean really, name me the 5 best fighters out of the whole UK in the past 30 years and I bet it won't even come close to the best Americans. Again, I realize the population difference, but I'm having trouble finding truly elite fighters from over there.

How's about the 5 best fighters from the present rather than going on historic boxers? That'd be a wee bit closer would it not?

I'm neutral on this, and at the moment, it's a close run thing depending how you judge it, because it can be done to suit your own argument.
I would probably guess that the 5 top Americans are
Ward
Crawford
Mikey Garcia
Thurman
Wilder
The 5 top Brits are probably
AJ
Frampton
Brook
DeGale (?)
Selby (?)
It's only what I think and going on that, you would have to say America, but I think it's better if an American picks their top 5 and a Brit picks theirs. Then we can pick the bones out of it.
Perhaps it should be a different thread, I think it could be fun! 😄

[powerpuncher]

I wouldn't put Wilder in there because he is good for this HW division but he isn't a great fighter overall. There are tons of smaller fighters better than him. I would say it's between Jacobs and Garcia. Maybe jermall charlo but he is a little less proven. Also, Bradley could be in there too but he needs to fight again to prove that he still has it.

Like I said, you put your top 5 down, one of the Brits put their top 5 down and we'll chew the fat.

Ok, so
Ward
Crawford
Thurman
Mikey Garcia
Jacobs.
@erics44 , you started this, @Batman, one of you put your top 5 Brits down. Step up to the plate!

[Fenster]

Ward and Crawford would be the top two if they were British, so America wins in that department. If you judged the best fighter in every division Britain would probably come out on top (Haven't looked, but can't think of many top American's in the lighter weights, Gary Russell Jr? Oscar Valdez? However, they're in Frampton, SElby and Quigg's division, so it would be close.

Top 5 Brits without giving it much thought

Brook
Frampton
DeGale
Selby
Khan

Billy Joe
Eubank Jr
J.McDonnell
Flanagan
Quigg

AJ
T.Fury
Yafai
C.Smith
Haskins

Burns
Crolla
Bellew
Haye
L.Walsh

Murray
Whyte
L.Smith
S.Smith
L.Williams
