Why are American fighters so protected?

Everyone knows about how chicken **** most Americans are to travel, this applies to ordinary people as well as their boxers. But I hadn't realised that Wilder has the same number of fights as David Haye:admin WTF????

 

Lol, not sure why people are taking the bait here. It's documented fact that all Brit's are terrible glass jawed jokes who get exposed when they step up to an American. Lewis, who was a Canadian, learned boxing in Canada, represented Canada twice in the Olympics, and trained by an American trainer is the best claim these Brit's can come up with. Although he was Canadian, he still had that British glass jaw perhaps from the water he drank as a wee lad.
It's no coincidence that every time a British glass jawed hype job steps in with an American, he gets exposed as a fraud and a joke.
I don't know why the Brit's are proud of their fighters.

 

I'm pretty interested to read this. I'd like to see the list.

On a side note, this does not include the time when WBO was still bottom of the barrel and does not include every concievable alphabet title aside from WBA, WBC and IBF right?

 

This ****** uses American journeymen from obscure backgrounds that go to Britain for an easy payday that would never amount to anything in the USA as an example? If you're using that example, Americans have a better record against their journeymen than Britain or Europe as a whole does. :rofl I knew you were an idiot, but this takes the cake.
I thought you British glass jawed jokes would of known better when Khan, Froch, Hatton, Brooke, and Price got brutally exposed by American fighters. The next Brit hypejobs to get exposed are Murray and Fury. Murray already got exposed by a glass heart Puerto Rican prospect and Tyson almost got ko'd by a light hitting Cruiserweight.

And yeah, a man who represented Canada in the Olympics twice, learned boxing in Canada, lived his most important years in Canada, got educated in Canada, and first got laid in Canada is British. :think

 

Lets pull you up on this Hatton thing shall we?

The only American Hatton lost to was Mayweather. Its no shame to lose to Mayweather, Mayweather is the best fighter of his generation. The Hatton/Mayweather fight was a close affair until round 6 when Hatton lost his cool with the ref and began to show signs of stamina depletion. Hatton was finished off in the 10th round.

Nevertheless Hatton put in a solid performance against an all time great, held his own for the majority of the fight, and took a lot of punishment before finally being stopped. Mayweather commented after the fight that "Ricky Hatton is probably one of toughest competitors I've faced. I hit him with some big ones but he kept coming"

Hardly being "brutally exposed". He was outclassed by a much better fighter but he performed admirably. If anyone "exposed" Hatton it was Pacquiao.

Lennox was born in London to Jamaican parents and spent the first 12 years of his life in Britain before moving to Canada. When he turned pro he moved back to Britain and declared himself a British citizen. Therefore he was Jamaican by birth with duel British/Canadian citizenship but British by choice.

Are you saying we shouldn't accept it when Lennox chooses to refer to himself as British? That we should ignore not only his choice to be British but the fact that he was born in the UK, spent his childhood in the UK and has British citizenship and that this give him - and anyone else for that matter - every right to call Lennox "British"?

 

What? As opposed to physical-prime Hopkins who sat in his weak ass division fighting nobodies for his IBF title for years on end, never challenging himself before beating blown up welterweights in Trinidad and De La Hoya then loosing to a lesser fighter in Taylor.

Hopkins could have moved up to the talent packed Super Middleweight division in the mid-to-late 1990s but he didn't, he could have moved up to the Light-Heavyweight division to face Jones Jr in the early 2000's but he didn't, he chose to stay in his weak ass division defending his paper title instead.

Hopkins is no less guilty than Calzaghe of wasting his prime years fighting nobodies in his comfort zone and never challenging himself. The only reasons he didn't **** on half as much as Calzaghe did for doing the exact same thing Calzaghe was doing was because Hopkins was an American and his paper title was a couple of years older than Calzaghe's paper title and represented an organization that was a couple of years older than the WBO.

If Hopkins hadn't gone on to achieve great things in the Light Heavyweight division then his legacy and reputation would be no better than Calzaghe's.

 

I guess the fighters and their managers lack confidence in their skills.

 

True, Cal and Hop credentials very similar.

 

Lol at your argument being completely nullified and you respond back with that weak ass post. Damn, owned. >=D

 

No it doesn't, becuase Eubank never set out to do anything more than win the WBO Title and milk it for all its' worth. And he was honest about that too. What did it matter to Eubank if the IBF, WBA or WBC didn't recognize the legitimacy of the WBO? He could still make millions defending his paper title anyway.

Does it hurt you inside that no American fighter was able to beat Eubank, Benn, Hamed or Calzaghe?

 

What are you talking about, after the Mayweather fight Hatton fought some obscure Mexican journeymen and almost got knocked out. The referee saved him when he allowed Hatton to tie his shoes after the knockdown.. Guy's best win was a 80 year old unmotivated Castillo who was only in there for the paycheck and a washed up Zoo coming off a long layoff.

He's Canadian bro, sorry. Tell me, has Lewis ever learned boxing in England? Has he went to high-school, represented Britain, or grew up as a man in England? :think

 

Hatton did struggle in his first fight after Mayweather, but what's that got to do with how well he fought against Mayweather himself? If Hatton got "brutally exposed" by Mayweather as you claimed then he should have been KO'ed within three rounds or dominated by Mayweather the whole fight. Neither happened. He was competitive for six of the ten rounds and Mayweather called him one of the toughest opponent's he'd ever fought.

And Lennox has duel citizenship with Canada and Britain. Where he went to high school has sod all to do with the matter. He spent his chilhood years in the UK, his teen years in Canada, he represented Canada in the amatuers but represented Britan in the pro's, and has stated that he considers himsef British first, Canadian second. What cant you get about that? Canada and Britain have equal claim to him but he choses to be British.
