Did you Yanks just watch AJ destroy Bakhtov? Yet you rate Wilder?

    you are right in that very few americans have any idea who any recent pro boxer is. you are wrong saying we suck at boxing because the best athletes go into other sports. the best athletes have went into football, since at least the sixties.

    I'm a brit for the record.

    but for now can we wait till any of the major heavy weights touted as future world or undisputed champions, I'm talking Fury, Joushua, Wilder, actually fight anyone in the top 10.

    Seriously there is no base for comparison. except Fury has been Knocked Down by a Cruserweight.

    Before I assume your point and flesh out your statement correctly, why don't you elaborate on what you mean or make your point a little more definitively so I am certain where you are coming from (which direction you are bringing this).

    Yeah, that's why Frank Bruno (or perhaps Henry Cooper) is the most loved English boxer of all-time. England loves glorious failure in sport. Tryers giving it their all and often falling short.

    Hatton filled the MEN arena on his recent come-back when everybody knew he would be shot-to-bits, which is bigger numbers than 98% of American fighters could do. He took 20,000 fans with him to Vegas for the Pac fight, which was after being KO'd by Mayweather. The only reason Nas is not liked is because of his arrogance. It got him headlines, and generated a buzz while he was fighting, but the English do not like gratuitous displays of ego.

    Saying the English are fair-weather fans is bull****.

    Just keep hoping that Joshua gets enough blatantly crooked decisions and officiating in England as he did his free Gold Medal. Pigs like you will cheer on regardless.

    Aj is off to an impressive start but that is all it is-an nice start.To annoint him as the second coming is laughable and when he finally fights someone who will punch back we shall see.
    Eddie doing a great job hyping him up and giving him stiffs to build up his record,which is his job.:good

    No, no, the light heavyweights that were competing for the HEAVYWEIGHT titles! :roll: BUMS like Henry Cooper, 6'0, 185 lbs, skinny fat, and yet "more powerful than today's heavys".
