    The USA has 15 World champions

    The UK has 2


    your inferiority to us in boxing has nothing to do with hometown advantages Brits.

    American fighters need to prove their mettle.

    Get out of your comfort zone, prove you are the best in the backyards of your opponents.

    Man up.

    Or admit you are tainted champions.

    15 champions

    You have 2

    We have 5 times your population. Yet nearly 8 times the amount of champions. Several fighters in the top 10 pound for pound. 2 Ring Champions. 0 for you.

    You're inferiority to us has nothing to do with major fights being held in the largest market in the world.

    Same way the reason why you arent as good as Brazil, Germany, and Spain in soccer has nothing to do with the world cup not being held in England.

    You need to take a deep look at your athletic programs within your country.

    Tell you what Midwest Chopper...

    Lets base every fight that matters outside of the US, and see how that statistic changes.

    As over my head as Brit athletes tend to be at the highest level of athletics?


    Here, every olympics and world cup, boxing match ect should be held in Britain. Is that fair? You know, so you guys could experience victory every once and awhile?

    How many of your 15 champions won the title outside of America?
    And how many diffences have they made outside of America?

    Froch lost his title to an American in America.
    Khan lost his title to an American in America.

    If they stayed at home like the 15 American champions, you'd have 2 less. England would have 2 more.

    By the way, the last time the World Cup was held in England. The World Cup was won by England.

    Hopkins beat pascal in Montreal. Malignaggi beat Senchenko in the Ukraine. BRadley beat Witter in England. Dirrell beat Froch in Nottingham(oops) :lol:


    Tell me, do you believe Floyd schooling of Hatton, Klitckos schooling of Haye, Ward's schooling of Froch, ect would be different if the fight was held in England?


    Are you banking on a Froch vs Dirrell style robbery or Hatton vs Tszyu foul fest to help your country out of boxing irrelevancy?

    But that's a ludicrous example, as all of those sports are spread World-wide.

    You are proving my point completely!

    EVERYTHING boxing is within the US, for every other sport it isn't.

    Come on, you have a brain.

    Froch was schooled and lost to Dirrell in Nottingham and got a gift. Khan has a legit grievance. Most thought the fight could've went either way, so home cooking had nothing to do with it, but Lamont might have been on PED's. So the belt count is now 14-3. :rofl
    .

    So do you believe that you'd be on America's level in boxing or Spain's level in soccer if all boxing matches and soccer matches were played in England?

    Malignaggi won his title against Senchenko in Ukraine

    Bradley won his title in Britain

    Hopkins won his title for which Dawson took in Montreal

    Im pretty sure Brian Viloria won his title outside of America aswell


    Thats 4 belts, 2 more then Britain has today won outside of America.


    I'll ask you again, is Britain inferority at sports due to games being held outside of Britain. Or is it more do to your own training programs not being up to snuff in these particular adventures?
