    First off America is the best country in the world:deal
    2nd People dont get pissed because certain people dont leave their country people get pissed because certain guys stay in their country and dont fight the best in the world:deal
    Ward fought the best in the world and beat them so he is good.
    Mayweather doesnt have to go England to fight Matt Hatton because he already beat his better older brother.

    Alan Minter.

    Aside from Calzaghe and Minter, what British boxers have ever fought any foreign fighter worth a damn in the UK?


    I'll repeat myself for the umpteenth time: If home field advantage is such a decisive factor shouldn't you be demanding that Ward and Froch rematch in a neutral country to prove who's actually the best?

    If you're going back to Minter and Hagler...

    Randolph Turpin beat Sugar Ray Robinson in England. Back when US fighters travelled sometimes.

    i would demand it in UK since Froch already fought Ward in US.Forch has had only 1 fight out of 5 in UK in super6,Ward had 5/5 in US he should be the one who travel.it's pitty that his fans don't demand him to travel,he is stil young and has the ability to become realy great and gain respect all over.instead he is hiding in joakland with his 2k loyal fans,that's not a real champ.even Bute thought he is great and traveled to gain a legacy,and he is not near the level of Ward..i wonder who are more disgraceful,Ward cause he doesn't take a risk or his fans backing him up.

    I'm pretty sure that he fought Froch in Atlantic City, 3000 miles away from his home town and what little fan support he has in the US. A fact which you people keep ignoring and which makes these demands that he go to Nottingham even more laughable. They already fought in a neutral venue. What the **** are you complaining about?

    I didn't mention that fight because Tszyu was at the end of the road and Parris let Hatton turn that bout into an MMA match, but okay. I'll give you that one. That's two quality wins for UK fighters against foreigners in country in the recent past. Wow.

    I had to go back that far to think of an elite foreign fighter in his prime who's faced a domestic champ in the UK besides Kessler.

    what risk is there going to the UK besides getting robbed by the judeges like Dirrell did?

    So Froch got his ass kicked by not a real champ?

    He fought the guy in Atlantic city how far is the plane ride from the Uk how far is the plane ride from Oakland?

    I know.

    That's the problem with American champions. They haven't left home for 40 years.

    If Witter was considered to be a "big fighter" that shows how pathetic the UK talent pool is and how ridiculous all of this chest thumping is in the wake of the Froch/Bute fight is.

    Is the US the only nation that produces elite fighters? The Brits couldn't have fought champs from any other country at home in the past several decades?
