    Today I was trolling a thread and realized that I was on to something...

    I can't think of five British fighters who are truely "fearsome".

    It brought me to the conclusion that we needed a poll here to see what everyone thought.

    Of course the Brits will be in there voting the other way, talking ****, etc.. but they should keep in mind that if they were so fearsome that there would be no America.

    :bbb

    It's only the Mexican's that are fearsome. I can't think of any fearsome American or Asian fighters.

    I thought he was talking about current fighters. That's why I didn't bring up the liked of Benn and Tyson etc...

    The 3 in bold are debateable, especially Arreola :D, but I agree with the rest.

    I though you were talking about active fighters only :good

    Yup. We tend to have pointy chins, which means we're likely to have weak punch resistence. Ask Dimitriy Salita, he'll tell ya :deal
