    it wouldn't take a Klitschko to KO wilder, a middleweight would probably KO Wilder.

    Still haven't had one Brit explain to me why Price was hyped other than the fact that he is British. Price has an awful Amatuer Style no Chin, no Heart, no Stamina. None.

    The guy was fighting awful competition and they handpicked an old faded out of shape American former contender and the guy gets beat twice. It isn't like Price lost to a young motivated fighter on his way up. He got obliterated by a guy at the end of his career when he isn't even training seriously anymore.

    Lewis only became a Canadian Citizen because he was a minor (aged 12) at the time his parents relocated to Canada i.e. it wasn't his choice. As with quite a few boxers, Lennox started boxing because he was picked on / bullied from a young age. He was intiially fighting against Canadians not for them. He always considered himself British and hence returned to where he was born and fought for that same land he considered home.

    Does not it any way alter the fact that he was never embarced by the British media or british public....

    Lewis was a strange case...i dont know anyone who ever got excited about a Lennox Lewis fight....although i agree with his position in the all time ranks the fact is he was a boring fighter who never grabbed anyones attention or interest until AFTER he retired...his status was only ever recognised retrospectively.

    Either way it still shows the point that the bris never get behind the truly great fighters, only the hyped ones....basically they will eat up whatever they are spoon fed.

    Who knows why!! No idea.

    Reject true warriors? I'd say Hatton is probably the most popular British fighter of my lifetime. Ok he got it handed to him towards the end of his career but he always wanted to fight the best and had a warrior style in the ring.

    I disagree. Tyson Fury is the best HW out there, except for Wlad and Haye.

    I think Fury loses to Haye, but he could win the HW championship in the next few years.

    "I'm British and I'm bad"??? Sorry, but Brits are not "bad", nor can they be.

    Listen to Bill Hicks explaining what Brits actually are:
