They are very basic but technically very sound . Not flashy at all

There's no such thing anymore, there's too many new influences and exposure to just have one style these days.

When you look at the elite level, it's harder to identify stylistic similarities between british boxers as they vary quite a lot. At the lowest level you will get everyone looking the same, but that's true in any country.

UK style boxing? Naseem Hamed? Or Ricky Hatton or Carl Froch or Joe Calzaghe? We have a plethora of styles.

Carl Froch is your best in my arrogant opinion ... Hatton The man to capture the hearts of a nation

I think Carl achieved the most but I think Calzaghe was better. Shame the two never fought.

Remember when Henry Cooper dropped Ali?

I wasn't born yet but it happened.

So nobody has a uk style, thought not. Don't bullshit these things, the forum regulars recognise these things.

I've got no problems with you or anyone on the board. If that was a joke it flew over my head.

Probably due to the time gap, it was 6.20 here, I'm just a moron, don't worry about it.

I for one am in favour of the patented Joe Gallagher "Walk slowly forwards with the earmuffs on leaning slightly forward from the waist so you're a sucker to uppercuts, never respond to a punch to the body & don't do fuck-all for the first six rounds" technique.

The way Joe applies it to every single fighter he trains—no matter their natural strengths/proclivities/body type—is truly inspirational.

I've got the feeling that in fact it's some kind of very subtle running gag.

If you saw two boxers fighting and didn't know their nationality I can't see how you'd pick which one was from the UK by looking at their style.

AJ vs Fury is likely to happen soon(ish) which one of them has a UK style?
All the Ingle fighters fought/fight like each other and no one else in the UK or the world.
Benn, Watson, Eubank, Calzaghe couldn't really have been more different.

If you are going to bring in logical discussion to this thread I suggest you go elsewhere or risk getting an ip ban !! =)
