A Few Of My Favourite Fighters. Hatton - English Paccy - Philippino Marg - Mexican Cotto - Puerto Rican Haye - English Tyson - American Dela Hoya - Mexican Naseem Hamed - English Im British but i certainly dont have a Bias towards British fighters, I Like fighters that fight and mix it up, i love fighters that are exiting and then make your heart rate rise. Most american fighters dont leave their own country yet expect every other boxer to come there to prove themselves, if you look at the current champions list most are from outside if America so this is a lame arguement for weather a boxer has proved themselves. The only reason that boxers would need to go to America is for the money not the fighters. Unfortunatley Growing up in Britian the most fights we get to watch are with British fighter so naturally we know them and become fans of them more than other fighters of different nationality.
so our numerous world champions are **** despite winning world titles which all are champions could knock you spark out
im brittish and i dont have one brit in my top 10 favourites ever (but i do believe we've had some great fighters)
I dont buy this argument about needing to go to America to make good money. These European champs can make excellent money fighting in Germany or the UK and I am sure there are plenty of examples to back that up. However, I think all top level fighters should fight overseas now and again to embrace the global appeal that boxing has and show some love to their international fans if they have any.
Lennox Lewis, Jimmy Wilde, Naseem Hamed, Ted Lewis, Ken Buchanan, Ricky Hatton, Henry Cooper, Joe Calzaghe, Chris Eubank, Lloyd Honeygan, Benny Lynch, Owen Moran and Nigel Benn.... ....Yeah, British fighters are **** in comparison to such legendary Irish fighters as ..... :huh
That's fine but there is nothing wrong with wanting fighters from your own neck of the woods to succeed. It encourages other fighters to come through and raises the possibility of you seeing great fights on your own doorstep. I would nearly always back a Briton fighting another nationality. Most Filipino people are unashamedly pro Pac and why shouldn't they be? He has done much to put their country on the map.
what the **** so calzaghe,hatton,lewis,conte,benn,hamed,eubank,honeghan, to name a few were all **** were they
