    My point was that he lost. Okay it wasnt an American who did it. Fair enough "Smart guy" But the ***** that is Nazeem ran with his tail between his legs rather then continue fighting much longer. One loss was enough for him.

    IMO Pac-Clottley woulda got more than 50K here in the UK. The bigger and louder crowds are here in the UK. But the better money due to PPV is America, hence why most big fights are there.

    I still think more Americans should travel though, the pay difference is only for PPV fights, so if a is not gonna be PPV in the states, they should consider hosting it in other countries. It helps grow the sport, like the UFC, they just don't host fights in States, they come to UK an all.

    Soz i know i've gone off in a tangent.

    For the best American featherweights I might put in Danny "Lil Red Lopez", Bobby Chacon, or Ruben Castillo since 75. I'd pick Chacon over Hamed anytime. Tapia-Darchinyan would of been a classic, pre-fight as well!:good

    For some reason, I thought those guys were more than 35 years ago. But yeah, that would be more competitive.

    I suspect Duilio Loi would have beaten all of them, since the Euros can go more than 35 years back. I don't think Arcari fought anyone of significance in the last 35 years though either. Plus wasn't Frankie Randall American?

    I think you are wrong about Middleweight, Prime for Prime Benn would walk through Hopkins (Europe Win).

    I have to change my pick at 154. I just remembered a great European JMW, and I think he'd beat any American at the weight from the last 35 years - Nino Benvenuti. Hearns would give him trouble, but he beats everyone else.

    lol @ all the americans

    the majority of american fighters are hype jobs... Just made to look better than they are so tv networks can get more money

    obviously there are are some great american fighters over the last 35 years , but overall baileys list is correct

    McCall was crying before he entered the ring. But, whatever. I have work to do. No one on this idiotic site ever admits they're wrong anyway. Why should you be different? :D

    You do realise that McCall had done that many times before fights?

    Oh, you dont, because no one on this idiotic site ever admits they're wrong anyway. Why should you be different?:good
