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?

The UK does have a seriously talented group of boxer coming through at the moment, however the power and opportunity will always be with the USA, as long as that is where most of the money is.
Also, Quigg and McDonnell only have the WBA "regular" title, which I don't consider real world titles. However, Stuart Hall, and Paul Butler will be in world title fights respectively before the year is out.
Some other up and coming boxers I would add to that list are:
Terry Flanagan
The Smith brothers, Liam, Callum, and Stephen
Kid Galahad
James Degale
Chris Eubank Jr
Bradley Skeete
Khalid Yafai
Jamie Conlan
Luke Campbell
Gavin McDonnell
Bradley Saunders
Liam Walsh
Josh Warrington
Rocky Fielding

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

Jose Benavidez Jr is better than Kell Brook & Amir Khan. History doesn't show this right now but you can bank on this. I promise you.
he already pushed Khan's shi.t in in sparring prior to Khan's fight with Peterson.
Just wait and see what he's going to do to Mauricio Herrera.
