There are many quandaries in boxing, not least about the 'tribal' support that boxers get, especially UK boxers, some get no support because they are not media approved or friendly, others the opposite, consider the following injustices.
Brian London - hated Billy Walker loved
Henry Cooper loved, Joe Bugner hated
Chris Finnegan loved John Frankham hated
John Stracey loved Dave Boy Green hated
Benn/Eubank loved Herrol Graham hated (they were both scared of fighting him)
Ricky Hatton loved, Junior Whitter hated
Anthony Joshua loved, Tyson Fury hated
Carl Froch loved George Groves hated (including by referees)
Can you think of any more? I reckon there are loads of fighters out there that never got on the right media bandwagon and lost out because of it. Have a think.
