    also...off topic, how can you call a saty-at-home fighter...world class? he barely leaves his home let alone his state. He fights in a cross-continet boxing competition and is the only one with all his fights at home! Thats lie SF49ers playing at candlestick park every sunday

    He's an American citizen, who lives and trains in America. Fought for America at the olympics. Ect ect.


    Nope. Do a poll in the British forum and ask who the better fighter is. Vast majority of Brits would say Hopkins.


    UMAD?

    Yes, that's true, but the asian portions of transcontinental countries like turkey and russia have to be left out, which excludes pratically 95% of turkey and it also excludes Siberia, which is the Russian owned region north of China.

    EU is more homogeneous than North America in regards to laws, valors and economic treaties. That's the reason why EU is more and more relevant when comparaisons are made. Last week, i was in Barcelona partying and now i'm working in Marseille without showing any passport or any official documents.

    The vast majority of fighters live and train in America or are trained by Americans. The vast majority of tennis players dont live in England, dont train in england and arent trained by Brits.

    Go down the current P4P top 10 and see who isnt trained by an American, or is living in America.

    The moon has yet to produce a decent boxer. And the moon is very, very big.

    The moon is in decline.

    Lewis and Wlad, 2 of Europe greatest HW's and the 2 best HW of the last decade were trained by an American. I love how the Euro's fail to always mention this :lol:

    The best fighter in the world today is also trained by an American. :deal

    There arent really that many major fights outside of the states, outside of germany and the uk you could argue there are zip. Id say calzaghe made more money in his fights in the states than he did in the rest of his career. ppv barely exists outside of america too and thats where the real money is if you can build youself to be an attraction. With the klits things have changed a bit in germany but new stars are needed to fill the big areans.

    Khan training for 8 weeks in America, is not the same as fighting for America at the olympics and being a US citizen. :rofl

    Honestly you just sound jealous.
