The Grand Tradition of the Euro Hype job!!

You know why he didn't unify.

And the reason why he didn't take the 'step up in competition and come to America' is because there was no step up in competition available in America.

 

Why is this thread still going after this post?

 

Watching 2004 Gold Medalist Andre Ward last night reminded me of 2004 Silver Medalist Amir Khan. Both are ~ 18-0 and both have been brought along slowly.
Seems to me all boxing is the same but just to keep the hate flowing, when is Joe changing his name to Sven?

 

[quote. Yeah, the EU has twice the population of the US. [/quote]


And 1/10 the boxing talent. You guys are better at soccer I'll give you that.

 

rafeal, do you know thats how the nazi's started off ? by thinking they were superior to everyone else ?

just some historical info for you .... most of america's great boxers were black, and therefore african in an hereditary sense. the rest of them, the white one's are from europe or elsewhere ancestor wise.

are you trying to tell us that at some time in america's short history, your people somehow developed special powers to make them superior to the one's from their ancestral homes ?


or are you just talking out of you immature, teenage arsehole ?

 

And Basketball!

 

Roughly translated: 'I hate Joe Calzaghe'.

 

What about the Tradition of the Yank Xenophobe.

How well would Mikkel Kessler be regarded if he was American?
Exactly!!!

 

please remember hockey as well

 

Its funny because many stateside see what Europeans saw in Nigel Benn. Yet Benn is seen as inferior to Pavlik, despite being twice the fighter he Kelly is?

 

Paper titles? 4 weight divisions have British fighters as Ring Mag recognised champions. I guess that's what you mean by paper.

We must be doing something right. How many Americans have had claim to being The Man at their weight? Hopkins, before Joe dethroned him; Mayweather, before he retired; Nate Campbell holds 3 big belts which is impressive; Kelly Pavlik at midde.

For all the carefully matched Calzaghes, there are fearless fighters like Haye.

Recently, Europeans Abraham and Calzaghe have won in America.

Yes, fighters are often built differently and belts are protected. But Britain in particular has made strides of recent. There were rough periods in 2004 when Calzaghe & Hatton were at a low and Haye got derailed. But we've got success and can build from it.

 

Isent it about now you Americans make a new sport and call it lets say worlding, and rename regular boxing into something inferior like soccering...

 

Tonights Main Event:

Kelly Pavlik v Chad Dawson, World Series of Ultimate Boxfighting.

 

I reckon that fight wouldnt get 20'000 through the doors.

 

Surely it would be more popular than Roy 'Geriatric' Jones v Joe 'The Black Hopkins' Calzaghe on the European Senior Tour??
