    USA has 19 world champions
    5 fighters on the p4p top 10
    3 Ring Champions


    Suffice to say American hype is warranted because our fighters are the best in the world

    For comparison

    Britain has 3 world champioms
    0 fighters on p4p top 10
    0 Ring champions

    45% of voters think they do

    90% of posters on this site ARE american

    That tells you something

    I'd say 40% are americans and 40% are brittards , 20% the rest of the world.

    The word "brittards" demonstrates your lack of intelligence

    and no, there is no way there is an equal number of american and british posters.

    if i'm being GENEROUS i'll give you 20% of this site British, 60% American and 20% R.O.W

    But I doubt it's even that close

    :yep

    Even if we are to assume 0.5% of America's population and 2% of the British population are actually on ESB, there would be still far more American posters than British.

    incorrect. you have four in the top ten. they are floyd, dawson, bradley and ward.

    floyd i'll give you.

    ward is a dirty cheat.

    but dawson and bradley can **** off right now. they are not top ten fighters. pac was robbed in that fight. so that's a false position.

    dawson has beat all the old timers ( not in very good fashion either) but lost to pascal. the only other prime fighter that dawson was in the ring with was adamek. in which he won. not great eh?

    Well said mate, most American poster seems oblivious to the ring wars and warriors from all over Europe, Africa and particular Asia.

    America routinely overrates it's fighters in all combat sports especially boxing.

    Whoever wins this battle has the superior media in their country able to reach a wider global audience. That's something to be ashamed of?

    Americans receive no more hype here than any other fighters in their home towns and countries. If anything, due to our desire to always find the best and bring them here, we likely hear more about foreign fighters than a lot of other fan bases.
