Great heart but i dont think Jamie Moore is world class, look at the champs in his division, ODH-Spinks-Mosley?? Moore is a good european fighter but i dont think he is World Class.

My List of curretn/Possible World Class fighters are:

1.J.Calzaghe
2.R.Hatton
3.J.Witter
4.C.Woods
5.S.Harrison
6.A.Arthur
7.E.Macrenneli
8.D.Haye
9.M.Hunter
10.C.Froch.

Amir kahn cant even be held in that breath at the moment he has only just completed an 8 round fight!!!

like i said before mate not going mention all of them the ones i mentioned are off the top of my head but no mate never seen that fight

David Haye will get KTFO by O Neill Bell.

[jbirdy]

i think haye could clear up at cruiser if he sorts out his stamina probs.

[superheavyrhun]

Okay, so we can take Michael Hunter off all the lists then

[Hacienda]

I think John Murray, Carl Froch and Jamie Moore could give us some interesting fights over the next 2 years.

I'm looking forward to the Domestic duel between Froch and his long-term rival Tony Dodson.

Also the next fight involving Jamie Moore (Spinks?).

All in all, perhaps not on par with the recent golden years - but very good nonethless.

Both on the British and International scene, we have quite a few decent fighters in the game today.

The only shallow pool is the heavyweight division - but given time will recouperate.

the british middle weight scene is looking a bit shite though. it's only really eastman that we've got out there and he's past it now in my opinion. i remember a young lad called matthew thirlwall who was in the class of 02 with carl froch and he looked like a good prospect, but he hasnt gone anywhere really. we need an exciting up and coming middle weight! any ideas?

Well Matt Macklin i feel will make moves in the 160 division in the next couple of years, one to watch out for.

Read in Boxing Monthly that in the 70's there were only 200 active pro boxers in the uk.

At the moment there are around 600.

Just thought I would like to point that out to the people who think that things were always better in the past.

I thought it seemed a very small amount of pro boxers, cheers for the clear up mate

Richard Williams could have been that man. fighting Martinez when he did was madness. I think he will beat Eastman and then who knows what might happen.

John Duddy is British by the way

Eastman certainly ain't the future of the British Middleweight scene, even if he does have an appearance on Sky in a few weeks. I don't think we'll see Duddy in Britain for a few years, he's raking it in in the states, and after such a tight one against Yory Boy, they'll mollycoddle him for a few fights. Once he loses a few, that's when we'll see him over here, and fair play, he was in one of the fights of the year so far, with vast amounts of heart IMO, just needs a guard to be pretty good.
