    Irish and British are completely different sets of people.

    Im just saying Fury could beat any American. It seems its all American posters that like to ridicule British fighters because they have glass chins.
     
  7. No .. they are the same like South and North Koreans are the same .. but they claim, to be not the same!

    Until yesterday you thought Price could also beat anybody and Wlad, what do you think now? I think arreola wilder is a 50/50 fight for a glass jawed fury.

    All this about British glass chins.I mean it`s funny, it`s over the top about it being British boxers.For the real,knowledgeable sensible boxing fans here,deep down there is respect for the best British fighters,past and present.British fighters have been overall the best in Europe apart from the Heavyweights. Price has a glass chin so what? So has Thompson,he was just the better fighter on the night.

    WTF I never said Price could beat Wlad. I said Tyson Fury was on a much higher level than Price, Fury would school Price and I was proven right.

    I knew that Price was gonna get Ko'd I just didnt expect for to happen as quick as it did in his career

    Any fool can see you are blinded with bias in favor of British fighters. Banks lost once to Adamek many years ago. He's much improved since then (see KO over HW Mitchell again). Like a fool, you choose to only mention Cunnigham's first fight with Adamek and ignore their most recent bout :lol:

    Saying Fury has more heart in his little finger than Dimitrenko doesn't exactly offer any technical insight does it? I'd bet the house Chambers gives Fury a boxing lesson (only my opinion of course)

    Arreola is not fat anymore. I know personally he's in the best shape of is career right now and has dedicated himself to his craft. I'd bet he'd KO Fury.

    Let me ask you, did you pick Price to beat Thompson? If yes, I guess you a fool too :lol:

    David Haye has a glass chin, he is a great Heavyweight fighter. He has a great defense

    I wouldn't necessarily say the Brits have galss jaws (some....yes) but most of the Brits who have suffered KO losses lately have either been over-matched or have attributed to their demise by poor technical skills or tactics.

    Price - he may have had a perforated ear-drum which does knock your balance all over, I'll wait and see on that one but I do think he is fragile in that department, was down a fair bit as an amateur and has hardly been tested in the pro's. The shot last night didn't look like it connected fully or was that hard, although his neck snapped a bit.

    Khan - his ring IQ lets him down, the Precott beating, especilly the jab that wobbld him set big questions about his jaw as well as the few times he was down in previous matches. Yet managed to stay up from some bombs against Maidana and take Petersons best shots. he has no composure though and is generally not looking for shots landed so he ends up all over the place when he gets tagged hard.

    Barker - well overmatched and took a fair few shots of Martinez

    Macklin - As above

    Hatton - got Ko'd by a huge punch and another from a guy who had put a beating on him. Was in a a fair few wars where he took a lot of punishment so he's not in this category. ast fight was shambolic, he was completely shot.

    Naz - never Ko'd, wasn't even down very often other than one bout where they went toe to toe. If your using him you might as well say Ali was glass jawed having been down four times.

    Froch - only been down once and fought everybody in the division - looks solid.

    Calzaghe - only down a few times, most of which he wasn't even hurt.

    Rees - massively over-matched fighting a guy who is probably three weights bigger naturally.

    Haye - normally down due to bad balance but was starched badly of Thompson and looked in trouble v Mock - certainly questionable but he did stand up to Wlads punches.

    Who else is there?

    We have our share but probably no worse than any other nation.
