    These 2 bangers are gonna light up boxing with their no-nonsense approach.

    America has what..Chad Dawson? Andre Dirrel ? what is going on right now?? Any half decent fighter, like Cunningham, Williams or berto who seem to have little fan base or exposure.

    It's a real shame that their scene is really going down the pan at the moment. There are just no buzz surrounding any of their fighters.

    Only Pavlik glimmered.. now he's smoked.

    Only Jones and Hopkins hold any esteem. And they have a combined age of 44.

    Between the Mexicans, Russians & Philippines, the whole boxing scene is ruled. Wheras the once 'super power' of boxing, the USA has become little more than a series of venues and not a pool of talent.

    Yawn.

    You might have an argument if you were touting Mexico or Puerto Rico, but England's prospects are no better than the US's.

    Haye. Yes.

    Froch has beaten a totally shot Reid and THAT IS IT! Honestly, I don't even think he's going to beat Pascal, and I'm a British boxing fan who appreciates Froch's power. Apparently he's got an 'iron chin' but WHO HAS HE FOUGHT?!?!?!?!? No one.

    The whole world is in a depresseion right now in terms of extravagant talent in boxing, not just America. Things are looking up, but right now our top 20 pound for pound list compared to only five/ten years ago is very weak barring the top three or four names.

    Having said that;

    DANNY JACOBS > Carl Froch

    Believe it baby, and this is coming from a Scot in Britain.

    Sorry,

    I'll break down the Symmetric Arithmetic Rounding or Round-Half-Up (Symmetric Implementation) workings out for you shall i ?


    Hopkins is 43 and 10 months

    Jones is 39 and 10 months.

    = Age is 83 and 8 months.

    Decimal Rounding = 84.

    It is a very kind gesture to make a fool of yourself by trying to look like a smartass and still missing the point, we all appreciate the humour. Thanks.
