Will the UK Outstrip the USA as Leading Boxing Power?

UK currently has five world titlists--Carl Froch,Kell Brook. Carl Frampton, Scott Quigg and Jamie McDonnell while the USA has about a baker's dozen: Andre Ward,Anthony Direll, Bernard Hopkins,Jermain Taylor, Danny Jacobs, Floyd Mayweather, Demetrius Andrade, Cornelius Bundrage, Danny Garcia, Terrence Crawford, Mickey Bey, Lamont Peterson and Jessie Vargas.

But many of these American world champions are already old or aging or figured not to last long given their record or caliber.

Uk has a lot of future title threats who are still young and prime in Amir Khan, Tyson Fury, Derek Chisora, Anthony Agogo, Anthony Joshua, George Groves, Martin Murray, Billy Saunders, Frankie Gavin, Lee Selby, Paul Butler.

What do you think?

    In the heavyweight division, maybe. Anthony Joshua will soon be a world champion providing he lives up to his potential
