Having read all the **** and hate posted by some Americans on here over the last weak. Despite originally apologising, I'm really starting to warm to the booing of their national anthem.
Just ask Lewis what country he represents and you'll have the answer! Hilarious thread, btw. Top quality reading.
Try to take what I said in context..It was referring to the fact that their are so many Hatton fans by comparison Lennox was a fighter not a wrestler and didnt have 15000 people traveling across the pond. See my point?? Sure their are Brits that know what boxing is their just not Hatton fans...Ricky does his best to grapple not fight...People say Hatton fights like a Mexican..well no he doesnt...he fights like he belongs in wrestling..come to think of it Hattons dirty and boring style wouldnt keep the attention of many wrestling fans either..Well at least he got his big payday..Now the ****** is talking rematch..All I can say is their must be pretty powerful drugs in Britain..Maybe Hatton's been smoking "soap":-(
Boxings roots go back to Roman times.Gladiators used to fight to the death.James Figg from England brought it back in the form of bare knuckle boxing during the 1700s
