Fighters like Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep, Sugar Ray Leonard, Hank Armstrong, Rocky Marciano-- and even up to today with the likes of Floyd-- are superior to anything the UK has ever produced irrespective of where they practiced their trade. USA>UK in boxing. Get over it. |

You can only speak for yourself. But others like to watch good fighters. Does not matter from wich country they are. If Wladimir Klitschkos name would be James Lincoln you would be one of the biggest nutthugers around here. ![]() ![]() |

But if you want to compare US vs Europe. In total pro-boxing has much bigger history in the US. Pro-boxing is a new sport in the most parts of Europe (except the UK). First time boxing was big in germany for example was 1990...so you cant compare USA with Europe. Just like you cant compare USA with germany in terms of football. |

The first time boxing was huge IN germany was with Universum and Schulz,Ottke,Dariusz ect. And i allready said the UK is a exception. And i only compared the UK with USA. You were the guy who compared USA with Europe. Comparing UK with the USA....there is no way you can overlook that population argument. Boxing has a pretty good standing in both countries. But the USA is much much bigger. So it is no wonder that the USA produces more good boxers. So now tell me whats wrong with this argument?? The UK is the only country wich has a big pro boxing history. |
