Who would be on your Mount Rushmore of British boxing post 2000?
For me it’s Anthony Joshua, Amir Khan, Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe, with the first 3 being undebatable

@Blygn93 @DanCanobbio Ali act only applies in America. Do some research next time.
English
Want to say this: props to Oscar for showing up today and representing boxing even if I thought he could have been more prepared. No other boxing promoter or luminary showed up. Salute.

@40kgCostume The thing is, all the ideal solutions are ridiculous cause them guys are crooks and won't do stuff to help boxing and instead fill their own pockets.
If rules got in place for sanctioning bodies to do everything right, well...you know the guys running it
English
@FanagerNot No there shouldn’t, one sanctioning body shouldn’t have a monopoly on world titles but there should be a bigger incentive to be to make fights. UFC fans say they have less world titles but there’s so many MMA organisations that hold their own world title it doesn’t make sense.
English
Here’s a crazy idea how about instead of ripping out the financial protection of fighters just so you can get less champions you just petition for less champions across boxing?
Seems like the amount of champions isn’t the problem and the control of the finances is.

Nick Khan just testified in front of The U.S. Senate for The Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act. He says the WBC recognizes too many champions (163 champions across 18 weight classes.) Below is the full speech:
English
@FanagerNot @AlecTalksBoxing Out of the first 6 rounds what one do you think wasn't Nakatani's?
English
There’s genuinely people who think Nakatani got washed in this fight, seriously convinced they never watch it lmao. It was very close, I had Nakatani up 7-5.
English
@40kgCostume There should only be 1 champ per weight class. Only way to do it is to get rid of the sanctioning bodies.
Sorry but removing interim and regular bs champs is not nearly enough
English
@FanagerNot I’m not saying get rid of the sanctioning bodies I’m saying reduce the amount of champions instead of taking the fighters rights away and giving the power to the promotors
English
@ktea613 You know better, why are leaving out the main points?
English
Loma losing to Teo was just the icing on the fraud cake that boxing media was eating his entire career. "He could beat Floyd at 130" but couldn't figure out Salido body punches or Teo fake ass Philly shell counter punching. Bruh went life and death with Jamaine Ortiz ffs
English
@Butcherz12 @AlecTalksBoxing Cause he didn't win all first 6 rounds on my card
English
@FanagerNot @AlecTalksBoxing how could it be 7-5 when Nakatani easily won the first 6 rounds?
English
@ayew_joking @cmckennasport Yes, it's what boxing deserves and needs
English
@FanagerNot @cmckennasport Yeah now so they get the stars, then monopolise it and then pay fuck all
English
Do the sanctioning bodies need reform? Yes. I'd still rather earn Crawford's purse minus the sanctioning fees than the top purse ever paid in UFC.

Nick Khan on the sanction bodies: They are terrible for the sport. They've ruined the sport.
English
Serious question why is the Muhammad Ali act even a thing if AL Haymon was able to steal 300 million from Floyd “ no money “ Mayweather ?
Seriously why aren’t we talking about about this let me guess its cause yall wanna protect the image of this scumbag
The boxing media is full of dickriding shameless losers

@arielhelwani @uncrownedcombat Tom Bob Anderson getting knocked the fuck out

Breaking:
Heavyweight rising star Moses Itauma is set to headline the O2 Arena in London on July 25, per sources.
Opponent is still TBD, but sources tell @uncrownedcombat it is expected to be another step up for the 21 year old.
This will mark the first time Itauma headlines in London.

In other words—
—Look at all the leverage a Zuffa monopoly provides—to Zuffa.
Come on over boxers and you too can be exploited by a monopoly and enjoy around 15% of the revenues you generate. —

Nick Khan on what he would say to a young boxer watching this hearing about how a UBO could benefit the next generation of boxers: If you want a chance to be something bigger over a shorter period of time on a platform, we were able to secure a deal with Paramount, as I said on a Platform that has almost 80M subscribers worldwide and has a network partner in CBS. If you want that exposure, if you want trading card deals, if you want merchandise deals, if you want video game deals, of which the fighters would all participate financially. If you want all of that, plus some more, come this way. If you don't, that's your choice.
English
@GreatChefBoxing Yes cause the war rabbit is actually facing the biggest size disadvantages.
English
The disrespect is disgusting 😠
Inoue is the most dominant and active elite fighter in boxing yet the media keeps favoring guys at the higher weights who fight once a year...
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

Would a win over Junto Nakatani make Naoya Inoue the top pound-for-pound fighter? 👀 The panel weighs in. #InsideTheRing | Latest episode LIVE NOW on The Ring’s YouTube 📺

@DanCanobbio Trust me, it will be better for boxing long-term if this bill passes.
Btw, the Ali act is totally useless. Like seriously, when was the last time it got enforced?
English
@TiffanyFong Yes, quite often actually.
At least in their own house
English
@ATokkers5 Damn near everyone fighting for some level of relevancy is on something and yes, he needs more juice
English
@stokedboxing Good reminder to myself how stupid the average boxing fan is.
Although it's probably satire anyways
