    You shouldn't, Andy Lee is going to be a ****ing beast in a few years.

    Anyrate, I admit when I heard the opening notes of Born in the USA I just about died. I was actually cheering it though; even though I was rooting for Hatton, I thought it was great that Floyd came out to Born in the USA. Which, I think; is more of a song protesting the way Vietnam Vets got treated when they returned to the US after the war.

    Good point. Damn, he should have come out to "Living in America." That would have been pretty cool.

    to the idiot who said 'born in the USA' is an anti-american song:

    lol. wow

    protest is about as American as you get...and it is a protest song.

    do better.

    :good I wonder at what point did a nation founded on questioning the status quo, giving the people a voice, and standing up for what you believe decide that doing the things the nation was founded on is "unpatriotic"

    I'm very patriotic, but i will be honest , i don't like the song and i don't really like floyd, i can admit he's a atg and has skills that most boxers would die for, he beats anyone they put in front of him, but i can't relate to him in the least bit , he thinks its funny to run red lights like in the 24/7 special , he is always whining about the situation w/ his father ( when theres ppl out there who have had way worse a childhood then floyd), i just can't relate to the guy in the simplest ways , i can give him his credit and have no problem doing so , but i don't care where he is born i rather root for the guy who fights w/ less talent , but has more heart ,it may not make sense to anyone on here and maybe floyd does and says the stuff he does to sell his fights , if so it's brilliant but as a fan i can't root for the guy or get pumped up regardless of what song he comes out too
