    What do you think of Floyd's SD against an old washed up De la Hoya then?

    Thousands of British fans travelling to the US to follow their fighters has been a reasonably regular phenomenon over the past couple of decades.

    McGuigan, Bruno, Hatton, Calzaghe...

    It's not exclusive to boxing, you'll see five figure numbers of British football fans travelling across the continent for midweek evening games.

    We're just generally more passionate about live sport than those in the states.

    Uhh I didnt tell Calzaghe to go in there and fight right that. Hell I expected him to get the decision as did 99% of boxing fans. Very few had it for Hopkins. What I didnt expect was your boy going in and getting knocked on his ass a minute into the fight. Now THAT was unexpected. :yep

    However you are right on the money, what a most fortuitous bout for Mayweather. Mayweather could rematch Zab Judah and Carlos Baldomir, and no way in hell would ring ever give the P4P number 1 to a slapper.

    My boy?

    Everyone get the point now? He just talks....he doesn't know who he's talking to or even what he's saying. He just says whatever makes PBF look best. He doesn't represent boxing fans in the states. He represents Mayweather, and badly.

    Uhh Floyd throws punches, he doesnt slap. Oscar isnt nearly a decade younger then Floyd and Floyd wasnt knocked on his ass.

    I never said Calzaghe wasnt good, but he's the BEST you got. Which doesnt say much. :bbb

    yes because its not as if usa is about 20 times bigger then britain is it? but yet we still follow our fighters overseas to watch them kick the ass of your washed up fighters who will still apparently win, i am sure your one of the many americans who picked hopkins to beat joe, or lacy to beat joe. shame int it

    So how big is Puerto Rico if you are gonna use that excuse. There's like 20 puerto ricans in the whole world. 5 of them are champions. :rofl

    So you are saying you are proud to watch your top guys beat our old guys? But when its number 1 against number 1 what happens? Dome into the ringpost much. :dead
