This has been a good millennium for British boxers. First there was Naseem Hamed then Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton. Now there is Amir Khan, David Haye and Carl Froch. Khan could become the best light welterweight in the world. He's young, talented and has a great shot to make it with Freddie Roach and Golden Boy guiding him. David Haye is a solid heavyweight who has beaten Nikolai Valuev and certainly has a shot against the two Klitschko brothers despite being an underdog (and undersized). Haye is more talented than any other option out there at heavyweight for the two champion brothers. Carl Froch is undefeated after having faced solid competition at middleweight. He's in the middleweight tournament with a good shot at winning and making becoming the top middleweight in the world.
There are other British fighters on the horizon with guys like Kevin Mitchell and old warriors still contemplating additional fights like Ricky Hatton. The present and future looks good for the folks across the Atlantic.
