The finest fighters from the 'Land of the Brave'

Obviously the top of the list has to be Floyd Mayweather! A man whose bank balance is only equalled by the size of the gaping ***** between his legs. You literally couldn't pay this man $50m to step into the ring against a guy who, as he's so often repeated, has been stopped twice and has three losses. An overrated midget, no less, who relies on "power pills" to win! Even though he's a garbage fighter and wouldn't have his trusty PED's, Mayweather still refuses enormous sums of money to step into the same ring as him.

A coward.

After the obvious stand out there, take your pick for the rest. How about Andre Dirrell? A man who has no balls inside the ring at all. He fought like a disgusing coward against Froch, in the most shameful performance I've ever witnessed. His next opponent Andre Ward, despite my fondness for his abilities, is not much better. This is a man who has great ability yet is having to be threatened by legal action to live up to a contract he signed. Both Dirrell and Ward are hurting boxing so much. If anyone thinks Showtime will rush to do another Super 6, they are out of their mind. Thanks to these two fighters, we may have seen the last of this fantastic product for fans. Whilst Froch, Kessler and Abraham have fought with pride and put on good bouts, their American competitors have not done the same. Taylor was a warrior and I appreciate him. Green fought scared, Dirrell is a ***** and Ward is dirty and will now have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the ring against Dirrell, if it even happens.

Shameful.

Going up a couple of divisions, lets examine the cowardly American heavyweights. Where to start? Hasim Rahman, Tony Thompson, Kevin Johnson, Eddie Chambers and so on. The American heavyweight challengers in recent years have been abysmal.

Whatever happened to Frazier, Foreman, Ali, Holmes, Dempsey? And I'm not even talking about their ****ing ability, just look at the huge difference in heart and willingness to fight. It's pathetic.

I'm a fan of Paul Williams but it looks like he is still avoiding the best fights. After all that nonsense with Pavlik, I hoped he would prove he wants to be the best by signing to fight Martinez quickly. Instead, he is still stalling. This is a man who can beat some top fighters and be elite. Why doesn't he? Why not stop arguing over loose change and fight the ****ing best? He can cry all he wants to about being ducked but this is a man who has priced himself out of good fights. It's no good hoping for Mayweather of Pacquiao when you aren't willing to earn that fight.

A division lower, I'm dissapoint in both Devon Alexander and Tim Bradley. I like Bradley and even though Alexander is completely overrated, he seems to want to fight the best. So why the **** is this not signed yet?! Stop arguing over loose change and fight!

Speaking of junior welterweights, that brings me to Andre Berto. If you're wondering why, seeing as Berto is a fully fledged welterweight, I say this because he's yet again facing a 140lber who is perfect for him. Why? Why not fight some proper welterweights?

I hoped we had seen the last of Bernard Hopkins but it looks like he will fight Pascal. Another stinker to push fans away then? You have a bright, exciting young fighter in Pascal and they want to pout him in fight a spoiler? Whats the point? I don't want to see Hopkins hold, headbutt and exaggerate injuries for 12 rounds on the way to another dull decision.

Sticking to the theme of Pascal, his most recent opponent Chad Dawson. He isn't as overrated as some are saying, but how pathetic was his "I'm not giving excuses but..but...but...but". Disgraceful. He got his arse kicked and couldn't take it like a man.

If you even want to, you can mentioned guys like Roy Jones, Shane Mosley, James Toney etc., because they are drugs cheats. American fans love to accuse Pacquiao but are happy to sweep their own discretions under the rug.

Contrary to what some people believe, I'm a fan of American fighters. My favourite list is loaded with American's and I still love to watch guys like Joe Frazier, who made their entire country proud. They were proud men themselves and used that pride to take them to the top in the toughest sport in the world. That has since passed though. This is a shameful list of fighters and I think you would stuggle to look through the history books and go to another decade where America's fighters showed as little heart and desire, as the ones we have today do.

The sad thing is, they can hurt their own careers as much as they want, but in the case of Ward and Dirrell, they are also severely hurting the sport of boxing.

 

I criticize him and Wlad for that fight falling through. It was terrible on both sides.

That said, at least you get a good fight from Haye and, outside of the Wlad fight, he has always fought tough challenges.

Even if you were right, he'd still be an exception. Can you name one elite American who you can't be seriously critical of?

 

I criticize Haye for not accepting the initial deal. 50/50 all round is fair and they should have accepted the tiny loss by sticking with RTL. When that wasn't possible, Wlad shouldn't have rejected the fight, because of a deal he has personally signed with RTL.

 

I like fighters who don't nitpick over insignificant amounts of money and can actually work a deal out, and when they do get in the ring, they fight with honor and pride.

Look at American boxers in the 70's. Seriously, look at the heavies and light heavies. That's just two divisions yet you had so much heart and pride amongst them.
