Do we tend to underestimate our own fighters?

    poms gemerally big mouth their own fighters to the point of embarassment.

    look at the gay *** heavy of yours, lennox lewis. if ever there was an over rated, over hyped chinless poofter heavyweight, it is that chump.

    have a look at the fights of george foreman, ernie shavers, weaver, larry holmes, buster mathis, george chavulo, oscar bonavena, jimmy ellis, some of the ali-frazier fights. ken norton, ron lyle, etc. have a look at their old fights.

    weaver, larry holmes....

    lewis wouldnt be on the undercard!

    under rate your fighters!!:rofl:rofl

    Serge would dance around Briscoe and look brilliant in the process. Before getting knocked out. I'd give him a shot against Mundine though.

    Totally unfair IMO to put those 2 together Jennings had a go while Lockett folded completely.

    I'm Irish and I had Burns beating Katsidis, Murray at least going past ****ing 3 rounds against the massively over-rated Rios (unlike the pessimistic Brits), didn't care about Chisora/ Helenius, and I had Burns SMASHING Martinez, who I believe even Nicky Cook could have outboxed had he not been caught with silly shots.

    yes, you Brits under-rate your fighters disgracefully. It's one thing being "realistic", it's another being simply a cynical, defeatist *******.

    Jennings looked **** scared from the opening bell, Lockett actually landed some pretty good shots against Pavlik (don't believe me? go watch it closely again) but clearly looked like a light-middle against a middle, Locketts nose and mouth was busted open after the first KD, and his entire forehead started swelling IMMEDIATELY after he took the second knee. so to say he just folded and took a knee because he had no fight in his is BS.

    Sure, Locketts attitude towards boxing in general leaves a lot to be desired, but yes, he did come to have a go, and his face told the story of the damage those shots were doing to him, his knees were giving out before he took those knees, it's not like he was thinking "Meh, couldn't be bothers, just give me my money"

    did you see him blowing a shitload of blood out of his nose each time he was on his knees?

    we do but dont worry with all the interracial relationships we will see many more darker skinned athletes which will provide a slicker future. fighters with better speed. afro combs a plenty as well.

    if the abae/british boxing board play it right they could fund interracial relationships and help boxing here. maybe knock a few porn films out on the site as well.

    I dont under estimate 'our fighters' on the whole. If you think of our population size- which is such a small % of the increasingly(with the likes of cuba & eastern bloc countries now in the pro's) global sport of Boxing. I think we do really well and should be proud of the current state of our scene.
    If you look at the current depth we have- For e.g going from LW up to HW we have 8 guys in the top 10 (box rec- & that does include O Alofabi!) only U.S.A! & Mexico have more than us. The Germans are round about the same, but most of their guys joined up from other countries!.In such a global sport- it surley shows we are doing ok!. The weights below LW we dont have any- but have a few knocking on the door. And these are normally weights dominated by countries with lots of small people!.Also our rankings in Europe are superb! to a point I doubt they have ever! (could be wrong) been so dominant.
    So as a whole (regardless of weather or not world boxing is as strong as it once was- bygone days are not relavant to me) I'd say were in extremly good shape- and not many other countries can match the overall depth that we have and also potientally have coming through the ranks.

    was bored & waiting for someone to upload ringside to YT- so ended up rambling this as something to do!
