British/Common Wealth titles ? What do they mean ?

[Hulk]

The titles mean jack crap!

Will David Haye win one? Could he win won? Who's the current British Champ?

I guess the American equivalent to those titles is the NABF title perhaps?

You keep your anti-Haye agenda outta here you bastard !!!

[rjj tszyu]

In the days of Henry Cooper the British Title was a big deal, he was back page news everytime he fought and everyone knew who the British HW champ was. Now it has died off a lot but it is still probably the most attractive belt of them all. Chisora is the holder now and I bet there are hardly any non boxing fans who actually know that.

I dunno, its given you ANOTHER chance to mention David Haye's name.

I've always wondered what is the difference between the British and Common wealth titles ? And what do they mean to you fans in the UK ?

I can remember hearing a few years back about Danny Williams and Matt Skelton going back and forth for the British Heavyweight Title and it being somewhat exciting for some fans.

What is the deal with these belts ?

Whats the deal with any belt? Boxing was born in Britain. Their domestic boxing scene is ten times better then the slop we are fed via ppv on this continent. War the Brits!

Actually the Brits predate Queensbury by 150 years anyway.
Getting back to the point, while we all agree (I think) the Brit titles really don't tell us much, if they get fighters motivated and the Brit fans excited? Sounds ok to me.

I know the Brits predate Queensbury and the apes predated mankind. And?
The world titles dont tell us much so what of the Commonwealth.

Named next to some prestigious names.

Seriously. I count four no bullspit ATG and three other great fighters on that list. That's some company your friend is keeping.

I think for a British fighter, a British belt means alot. They all seem pretty proud to lift it, even the ones just using it as a stepping stone to bigger and better things. People like James DeGale!
