'They'? You just made that up didn't you...? Exactly, you never hear about the Yanks having to go abroad to prove themselves....it's a joke.....
Every boxing or fight board/forum I went to all the Brits were giving Mayweather no credit and basically guaranteeing a victory. Thats who "they" is.
Bunch of pricks, that's why mate It's funny, Winky-Wright who I respect a great deal, gets the least love of any of their elite fighters. Yet he is the only one that has done it the hard way Yet we have to run over there, or risk being called Euro bums Yanks
Well it's funny you say that, every Hatton supporter I know or have read about (not including the drunk numbskulls who know little about the sport anyay), didn't give him a big chance. I, personally, gave him no chance. Very true. The simple fact is, Hopkins could have fought Benn, Eubank etc himself......no-one will ever mention this though.....
Looks like instead of focusing on why Calzaghe is scared to come to the boxing capitol of the world and fight the best the world has to offer you arrogant brits are gonna sit around and boo the national anthem in the comfort of your homes while shitting on America and American fighters on a boxing board. Have fun and just remember me when Calzaghe comes over here and loses that 0 and then when ask by the media he will respond "Well Bernard really wasnt that impressive but I have lost a step and I just didnt have the strength that I usually have, I believe I am getting old and I am deciding to hang it up after I have one last fight in the U.K against another nobody so I can go out on top." It will happen, mark my words.:good
that's funny, i saw the complete opposite, with hardly anyone apart from blinded hatton sack swingers thinking he'd win. ....and cut 'all the brits' bull****, we weren't all supporting hatton.
i think ricky loses but will be able to hang tough. if hatton gets hurt in the fight he has the smothering technique to see him through his bad patches , although if he gets tagged time and time again ala gatti his chin will be eroded down and he can be stopped. i do like mayweather a lot in this fight maybe 7-1 on with me a copy and paste of what the british perspective of the hatton v mayweather fight was prior to the fight. what i posted prior to the fight as you can see the british perspective was that mayweather was a 7-1 ON favourite to win.
Exactly....you mke a fight in the UK and you could fill Wembley stadium, that's 90.000 seats with demand probably still high.....the atmosphere would be absurd.....
Aye Apparently it's better to sit around in stars and stripes jester hats eating corndogs rather than creating a decent atmosphere that fits the occasion I hope we boo the anthem every time, now that we know the yanks get up in arms over it
You hope they boo the national anthem? Damn man thats pretty hardcore I hope nobody boos your country's anthem...I love the U.K this convo only pertains to boxing as far as I'm concerned. I cant help but think this jealousy and hate for America stems back to 1776, but just remember TFFP you would be typing in German right now if it wasnt for the same people with the anthem you want to see booed.
He fought Will McIntyre in Copenhagen as I recall Another American to add to the list that have been schooled by the pride of Wales
Nah, I just don't take it all that seriously Nobody is really bothered about the Welsh anthem, but if we were to be booed I wouldn't really care. You should be expecting it really, you aren't exactly loved around the world It's more to wind you up rather than hate, and it seems to work
