    It doesn't though, Jeff, does it? Cause you desperately want to believe that US level is a level above Euro level, so don't give us that shite! You're completely transparent, mate.

    World level is above both euro and american level as it includes both and more, the rest doesnt matter, its just another argument

    By Euro-level do you mean the guys holding the EU belt? Or do you also include guys like Khan, Froch, etc in this?

    Euro-level = Overhyped boxer who steps up and gets schooled by a superior black American athlete.


    i.e Kessler vs Ward

    So is an American hype job an American athlete who gets schooled by a European?


    i.e. Jacobs vs Pirog

    Jacob wasnt even a champ yet just a prospect.


    We are talking Europes best vs Americans best. I.e Mayweather knocking Hatton into a ring post.

    Froch beat Abraham far easier than Dirrell did using similar tactics, therefore, Froch is a better technical boxer than Dirrell. Undebatable.

    Jeff Lacy had dominated many Europeans before he fought Calzaghe.


    Calzaghe was a typical European though. Never fought the best when he had the chance.

    did Calzaghe take Jeff Lacy to school yes or no? that was a unification fight, European champ vs American champ. We all saw what happened
