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

Just to show that Im objective, Lennox was one of my Fave..Now thats a Great Fighter. Im Canadian but I will consider him Englands son. But he did hone his skills in Canada:yep

 

No one ever does. I'm thinking of changing over to InvisibleMan. I figured no one would follow the link and figure out lyrics were unpatriotic. Hell, The Boss laments that people only seem to hear/know the refrain from that song anyhow. Same type of filtering that goes on here at ESB all the time.

 

I knew this would come out.:yep But I do have to say per sq mile, the UK is the second best place to find a boxer. Falling a distant second to.... dare I say it.... PR. Those mother****ers breed some fighters for a country/state (don't want to get political) I'm impressed with those guys the most b/c they HAVE to fight americans early and often b/c of their geographic location.:bbb

 

My opinion is fair and realistic, number two P4P isn't. I took Hatton to win on points and thats the gods honest truth. Tyszu's massive right hand and experience were major factors, but I took Hatton to pull off the upset.

 

Ah. Clarity at last. You are saying people here just look at the pictures? Yes, I am starting to understand now.... :think

 

I think that the British are the most overhyped fighters ... but I don't think its because of the fighters ... they have a bad quality of trainers and terrible amateur program.

 

:rofl :rofl

you have no idea.

 

when he KO'd Tyson....a British flag flew

when he beat Holyfield.....a British flag flew.


And so on and on and on

 

We're in the top 5 boxing nations in the world which is pretty good going if you ask me. Considering our population as much as anything and the fact that boxing is probably the 6th biggest sport

 

Spot on, mate!:good

.....and he only went to canada because his mum moved there. not some lifelong urge to live under the canuck flag and represent them at boxing.

 

so he still gave up waving the Canadian flag for the British flag!

 

But I don't know if the UK has anything over South African fighters ... these guys are great athletes and are always in good conditioning but they can't box.

Look at Lovemore N'dou ... if he had a good trainer this guys would probably have a better record and have had multiple championships. He
s in great shape and is very discipline when it comes to keeping himself in shape ... I've seen so many fighters with the talent, the skills, the good trainer, and mess it all up because they have bad training habits.
