Are American-based boxers always overrated?

You aint even american anyway, unless your native, so I aint particularly sure what your on about "Americans, got nothing better to do, why dont you kick yourself out your an immigrant too" (White stripes)

 

:rofl

did it sound serious.....

now where's that red jacket??? :tong

 

Just havin' fun, mate. Got nothin' better to do than rile up a few Brits... Although initially I responded seriously.

 

Already the whining, put Hatton's favorite Mickey ****ing Vann in that ring for all I care.

 

Fair enough, I was only responding, we brits are a mix breed anyway! Who do have winning the JC fight then? out of curiosity

 

In all honesty, I'm slightly leaning towards Calzaghe... It's very much a: My head says Calzaghe, my heart says Kessler... Although in warning, I must admit I will probably lean more towards my heart and pick Kessler as my official pick closer to the date... And Kessler surely has enough to beat Calzaghe, so it's not a "fools" pick, by running with my heart, by any stretch of the imagination. This is very much a "50-50" fight for me... Although, in strict honesty, I'll say Calzaghe (although later, closer to the date, you may see me saying Kessler ).

Confusing enough?

 

Confusing enough? You could say that! So really, what your saying is you think Kessler will win? Well I hope not, Ive already got my ticket, and I dont currently have JC's phone number to get my money back!

 

What?

 

Well I wouldn't say that, exactly. I think a better way to put it, but perhaps just as confusing, is: I wouldn't be NOT happy if Joe C were to lose.

 

So what your saying is.........Kessler to win, hope JC loses, but JC could very well win? correct me if im wrong! or right! or at least close!

 

Where do 95% of all the credible fights happen? Why has Hatton come to America to fight in half sold out arenas against tougher fighters when he could sell out MEN arena masturbating? Does that answer your questions? Its just a fact, Im not making this up.

 

re the initial post, Harris and Braithewaite aren't even Americans....

As for the "Rumble in the Jungle" comment, that's just BS. Promoters NEVER plan a neutral-nation fight anymore. You'd never see another fight based out of Cuba, Zaire, Jamaica or the Phillipines with major name fighters like you used to in the past - the business of boxing has changed tremendously, and it's just not good business to go outside of both fighters' fanbases.

As for the guys who never fight overseas, there are plenty of Euros and Asians who never fight overseas either. When was the last time you saw Pong or John or Abraham or Dzinziruk in the US? Those fighters won't get as much respect over here because they've never gotten the exposure here, just the same way an American fighter won't get a ton of respect overseas if they don't have the exposure there. Point is it's all a two-way street. People on here only THINK that American boxers are overrated because most of the major boxing media outlets are American, and they don't get the chance to see most foreign fights when they happen.

 

Perfectly explained. 2 way street:bbb
