    Do British boxing commentators sign a contract before they start that every boxer from Ghana, (and Africa in general) must be referred to as "tough"? Just a thought.

    They generally are.

    Clottey, Tackie, Nelson etc are just a few examples.

    Because they are tough.
    Quartey is another example.

    You know it. My point is that whilst there's been tough fighters from Ghana it seems like lazy journalism to refer to every African fighter as "tough".

    Oh yeah and brit commentators suck the biggest elephant dicks they can find.
    Duke McKenzie should hang himself.
    Ian Darke should shoot himself.
    Jim Watt should train Sam Peter.
    And Steve Bunce just do jokes.

    South Africa and Ghana produce some good fighters. South African fighters are tough in the lighter weight divisions, Ghana seems to have good middle weight fighters, and nigeria have big mofos

    :lol::lol: Darke and Watt are alright (apart from when they creamed there pants when Khan took a shot from Barrera).

    Buncey's quality but Duke is ****. Always saying "He's gone John, his legs have gone!"

    You're from Romania, Thunder. Do you find commentators there have a tendency to call fighters from certain areas things without watching them fight individually? I am always interested to see how boxing is reported in other countries.

    They all are ****.
    Can't stand to hear that biased accent in my ear when I see a fight.I swear sometimes my head is close to exploding from those biased ***gits singing the I'm not biased I just don't think boxers exist outside of the UK song.
    And yes Duke is tremendous ****.
    That being said hearing Manny go over and over with ''This fight went exactly like I thought it would'' ain't good either.
