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

Finally someone lays it down thank you.

 

Personally, I tend to pick the 'home team' first to cheer for. That doesn't mean I pick them to win.

 

We do often over hype them and build them up too much but its probably a good job because when we knock them back down we absolutely slaughter them beyond belief...

 

Never meant to be a patriotic song.

Thats just bollocks....are you just making this up as you go along?

 

its all about the patriotism man!!! Look at all of us Puerto Ricans adopted Edison Miranda and we know hes extremely limited but how could we not cheer for the *******??? I wish Americans felt Patriotic in supporting their ridiculously talented fighters.

Please don't take what I am going to say offensive but it is just MY OPINION:

If Floyd Mayweather was W H I T E, He'd be TEN TIMES the PPV seller that Oscar De La Hoya ever was!!! :deal


BTW I thought it was bad ass when Floyd Mayweather came out to the song he came out to when he fought Ricky Hatton

 

I posted a link to the lyrics a few up.

Honest post..although a bit confrontational

and why is everyone hyping up fighters that loses to Calzaghe?? Because frankly who the **** was LAcy??? I heard this guy was a silver medalist or something...For the life of me no one cares about Silver medalists in the states!!

And Kessler as well who is this guy?? this guy can use a can of motor oil hes so stiff, beating a guy like Andrade(worlds most unimpressive boxer) shouldnt make you famous

I have never seen fighters get so famous for losing than for losing to a Brit. Wanna be a star?? lose to a British boxer, you will be elevated to Godlike status

I respect Brits though...without them there wouldnt be ESB, they comprise 80% of us here and for the most part cool cats

C'mon Chimba, even though most people are trying to backpeddle on Lacy the fact is that most of the USA fans and media thought he was the next big thing.

 

Just goes to prove that this guy was a nobody:deal

But is it just me, the brits play thgis game that if you lose to a Brit , then you will be elevated to great level so that the win can have an even more significant meaning.

Its not that Im not giving them credit...Benn was very good for beating Gerald (who i very good as well)

Honeyghan I give props to for beating a Great great fighter in Curry.

Right there McClellan and Curry were greater fighters than any fighters Joe or Ricky have fought..and please dont give me Tzyu.

 

Are you saying that there was anything even remotely contructive in your original post?

You called 99% of your countrymen stupid, and then you cry, when I call you stupid?

Hell, man your posting is contradictional on so many levels it's not even funny. How could I take it as other than a weak flame bait post(nothing wrong with that - but don't cry when you are getting flamed).

 

It may have been me so focused with MMA that I failed to follow him. But he is very crude, Tailor made for Joe.

Look Im not saying that Joe isnt great..He is a great fighter because of his skills but calling his opponents great is what bothers me. In fairness, if he beats BHOP even at an advance age of 43..Id say yes he has one great fighter in his resume just because Hop can still bring it.

Ricky on the otherhand is quite possibly teh most overrated fighter today..He lost to Collazo BTW

Khan, IMO has a chance to be great yet ..its funny but Brits klll this dude
