Fight in the US,why?!?!?

He also fought everyone and avoided no one. Thats why people do/should come to the U.S.

It generally guarantees that you can get the highest quality opposition. There are a few exceptions, but in this whole thread I have seen two so far.

FIGURE IT OUT.

 

I know, i wasn't referring to 'homeboys' just one that didn't need to fight in the US to be regarded as one of the greats.


Sorry about Tony.

 

I believe they've had over a 100,000 several times. At Yankee Stadium? Robinson? And Tex Richert staged some monster events.

TV changed all of that. TV's intrusion has even hit Mexico to some degree.

 

Was he ripped off the second time around too?

 

Of course not. He wasn't in Vegas. :good

 

It won't matter if he keeps on taking on the best that SMW or even LHW have to offer. This bout with Kessler will be huge for his legacy. Again, its not the territory that the bout takes place, its the level of competition, given that both fighters are given a fair shot by the referees and judges.

Think Hatton-Tszyu. Mickey Vann actually took a lot of Ricky's credit away from him. Think Sven Ottke, nobody gives a **** about him on the worldwide scale because the corruption was easy to see. Both fighters need a fair shake, wherever the bout takes place.

And worldwide INDOOR attendance record is Ali-Spinks I, I think. When it took place at the superdome in Louisiana. I know the location for sure, just not sure the bout. 63,000.

 

LOL funny.

It has nothing to do with getting stopped though? Just Vegas.

Good stuff though. Good stuff.

 

And I return to the home-cooking label. I applaud your fan's one-sidedness and think the edge you give your fighters admirable and the intimidation you inflict on opponents near scary but it's still an edge that cuts two ways when it comes to a fighter's legacy.

Have you even stepped foot in the U.S.? Your view is near grade school in it's depth. This country is nearly an amalgm of 50 distinct countries.

 

Calzaghe's record is littered with Americans who ventured into his pit.

 

Great point. And in regards to Mayweather-Hatton, not too many people here "love" Floyd like your ENTIRE country "loves" Ricky Hatton. Its just not the same. Floyd didnt even sell out an arena in his hometown after becoming a three weight champion.

 

fighting in different states is alot like fighting in a different country.

 

Or it could be that they rank the SHITTIEST fighters out of the 4 sanctioning bodies.

 

Or maybe pick up the IBO instead. That'd be handy.

 

yeah i think thats about right. it be the indoor record they are aiming to break for calzaghe-kessler.
