    To be honest I don't think it's really bad.

    David Haye is making noise at heavyweight and just because he's injured for 6 weeks doesn't mean anything. In fact it could help him by giving him another HW fight before Wlad.

    Carl Froch is flying high.

    Amir Khan is coming off the biggest win in his career and so what if his fight gets delayed a few weeks ?

    We have 2 European champions on the verge of world title shots in Jamie Moore and Rendall Munroe.

    We have highly ranked by the WBC and British/Commonwealth champion Ajose Olusegun.

    We also have decent fighters in Kell Brook, Ryan Rhodes, Kevin Mitchell, Matthew Hall and John Murray.

    Clinton Woods and Junior Witter are back fighting for world titles soon.

    We also have some successful olympians who have recently turned pro in David Price, Tony Jefferies, Frankie Gavin, James DeGale and Billy Joe Saunders.

    From such a small country if you look at it like that it really isn't that bad.

    Couldn't agree more..... I think British boxing is in a good state. Fair enough there is problems with T.V networks, but thats a media problem, not a problem with boxing. We have consistently produced fantastic fighters for as long as boxing has been a sport, and we will continue to do so. The future's looking good for British Boxing, end of an era with Calzaghe and Hatton, but the start of an exciting new one with some fantastic prospects coming through...

    Boxing is going down like the whole country.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I agree with a couple of the posters,that we are actually in Great shape when it comes to our boxers!!

    Khan and Haye alone cannot be dismissed as can't Froch..With the wave of new blood coming through we appear to be in good shape for quite some time yet actually!
