The USA vs. Europe Rivalry. Who's really winning?

I'm struggling to see how being born in the UK and spending the first 12 years of his childhood there before moving to America impacts on his judgement or viewpoint? Perhaps you could elaborate...

 

He had to get his chin tested somehow, he's so good he never gets hit.

 

ahh sorry, assumed Dirrell, yeah Mayweathers class, he also loves Michigan so much he doesnt live there.

 

I know you are a dirrell nuthugger, but the fact is Haye by 25 has had 5 titles (including the EBU, which doesnt really cout so im happy to say 4) in 2 weight divisions, Dirrell in 4 fights less has 0 titles in 0 divisions. Haye will be p4p long before Dirrell. Hes not actually one a meaningful fight on his feet yet.

 

I don't see many fighting their heart out to fight in europe.

or having dreams to fight some day in europe..

England got some cats on the rise i suppose...and now they are beating the drums..

 

David Haye's clown shoes. When he stops duckin the Klitsckos for WBA scraps come get at me.

Talk about glass jaw, got KO'd by a guy with 6 losses. :rofl

 

haye should have fought cunningham as a cruiser.... no worries...the mans eating.

 

he beat john ruiz and now they are beating war drums...

 

dude, nobody really has a dream over here to fight in the USA, they just want the usa money, the atmospheres here are 10x better and 10x better attendances. Ricky Hatton went from 50k in attendence in England to like 10k fighting Collazo in the USA, its a step backwards...but moneywise forwards.

 

They love beating our scrubs.

Ruiz lost to about 20 dudes over the last 10 years, and he's supposed to be a "great victory"

Even though Ruiz got what every fighter who goes to BRitish soil gets. Fouled repeatedly.:yep

I was expecting Ricky Hatton to come into the ring with a chair at any second.

 

Yeah but in the USA you go over win by wide margins like 9 or 10 rounds (Lewis and Sturm) and still lose. Dirrell moans about hometown desicions when he runs all fight and the judges are from different countries anyway. Infact the Haye fight had 1 american judge, not 1 british, and the ref was Mexican, not british!

 

Sure!!! The success of Lennox Lewis and Joe Calzaghe went down well with most American posters on here. I mean they didn`t get all touchy and attept to completely trash these fighters with ocean loads of vitriol on here. Oh wait a minute...............

 

Totally agree. We did occasionally hear US heavyweights saying they wanted to bring the heavyweight title back to the US when all the hw belts were held by Eastern Europeans and I think Rahman said he was America´s last line of defense when he fought Maskaev, but aside from that, there´s hardly been anything you could call a real rivalry.

 

i'm not hating on dirrell, i've actually said on numerous occassions that he's a very good boxer and it'll most likely be out of him and ward that win the super six, but dirrell is not great, and he's already lost to froch.

it doesn't bother me who dominates who, and what country the best boxers come from as long as they have the potential to become greats, then i'm a fan, but dirrell doesn't have that much potential that you could compare him to legends when it comes to ability.

 

He "lost" because he fought in the UK. Anyone who can score a fight with any intelligence know Dirrell won. Hell 60% of the brit forum had Dirrell the winner after the fight.

Dirrell won that fight, you know it, everybody knows it, should be 2-0 with wins over the so-called elite of the SMW.

Doesnt matter, though, him and Froch will meet again if Froch can keep from getting to badly beaten.
