I am British, and YES all our fighters are overhyped.

:arran :arran :arran

We may not have the best fighters, but we do have the best fans.

 

You are absolutely correct, i respect your honesty.

 

The first step is admitting.

 

Red, white and blue; what does it mean to you?
Surely you're proud, shout it aloud,
"Britons, awake!"
The Empire too, we can depend on you.
Freedom remains. These are the chains
Nothing can break.
There'll always be an England,
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.

 

You are an idiot,

1. Calzaghe is going to batter Hopkins like a fish.

2. OAP's? Tzsyu was p4p number 2 when Hatton beat him, and most people including me thought Tzsyu was going knock Hatton the **** out.

3. De La Hoya and Ray Leonard were rich as hell too without fighting anybody.

4. Calzaghe is a great fighter.

5. Lewis was born in West Ham grew up in London till he was 12 ish, so you are an idiot.

Tyszu wasn't number two, not a prayer. He had been inactive for about 2 1/2 years before he fought the rematch with Mitchell. IMO he would be about 5 at the time Hatton fought him. Number two simply aint realistic.

 

:yep

 

he was inactive for less than two but I see your point, he was number 2 on a lot of peoples lists but still he was top 5 in your opinion and coming off an impressive KO victory.

Did you think Hatton would win?

 

Yes well done, you are a ****.

You must be such great company

 

you still dodged my post in the other thread you shitface. :smoke

 

So why did he fight hard for 11 rounds if he wasnt there to fight :huh

 

**** patriotism, I dont pick my boxers on what country they're from. I'm a grown up.

For the record Joe Calzaghe may not have any superstar names on his record but he's the most conistent champion in the world for the last 5 years. There's no denying the fact he's an exceptionally talented fighter.

Ricky Hatton is a monster who is unbeaten at 140lbs, who fights with his heart in the centre of the ring every time and has had some very impressive victories over the years. The Tsyzu and Castillo wins are great victory's, stopping to future HOF fighters. His challenge to Mayweather was entertaining and gutsy, and made Pretty Boy fight at 110% to pull out a win. Even lesser wins against solid contenders like Tackie, Phillips and Magee are impressive because of the manner in which he won, not just the reputation of the guys he beat.

Amir Khan is a good fighter who could turn out to be a superstar of the sport in years to come. He's going to be involved in some great nights for the next 10 years, so look forward to it.

Our fans are notoriously loud, passionate and loyal. Everywhere they go they leave the bars dry and the locals traumatised. I feel proud to be part of that sporting culture.

Lennox Lewis says he's British, and I'll take his word over yours.

Also, Britain has produced some of the most exciting and talented fighters of the last 15-20 years; Hatton, Calzaghe, Lewis, Hamed, Haye, Woods, Benn, Eubank, Watson, Graham, Reid, Thompson, Nelson, Bruno, Harrison (scott, not audley), Witter, were all world champions in the last 20 years.

 

Ok man, now your getting a properly wack avatar after Calzaghe beats up Hopkins :yep

 

I can see how you might be British, given you have now made two threads, one of which wrongly accused British fighters of being crap overseas, and another which states all our fighters are overhyped

Definitely British.
