    British posters go back to disgracing themselves after one win. Incredible

    How old are you?

    13?

    What's disgraceful about questioning American fighters never fighting outside of their own country?

    I was looking for a discussion here, nothing more.

    Cunningham-Huck
    Chambers-Dimentrenko (Chambers beat him from pillar to post and damn there got robbed)
    Brewster-Krasniqi
    etc.
    etc.
    etc

    The fact that OP refused to acknowledge any of these fights completely flies in the face of his overall point, about added reverance and prestige to taking on and/or beating fighters in their hometown.

    And frankly, this recent message board nationalist/nutthugger/fanboy derived phenomenon of blaming a venue for a fighter getting their ass handed to them inside the ropes, ranks up there with some of the most egregiously pathethic excuses i've ever seen.

    mayweather fights in vegas...he lives...in vegas!

    Did joe calzaghe have home advantage fighting in England when hes welsh? what about when he fought english fighters in england? americans have no idea of 'the lions den' feeling...when has mayweather (my favourite fighter by the way) ever walked into a truly hostile atmosphere? he never has, not once.

    if San Fran 49ers played every NFL game of the season at home, including the super-bowl final...would that be fair?

    You don't think both the weigh in & atmosphere during the Hatton fight (practically Manchester in Heat) was hostile? :patsch
