    Is Calzaghe English now??? :rofl

    Sugar Ray Robinson. Sugar Ray Leonard. Willie Pep. Ali.

    Name four English fighters to match or exceed that quartet.

    Yawn.

    As I said, you are an anti-American windup. Period.

    The Thread start page doesw say the last 15 years. None of those fighters have fought away in the last 15 years, so the question is one you should start a different thread for
    If you cant debate and you saying that, makes you feel better, (even though I gave credit to Cunningham) then so be it. I guess the debate wasnt going how you wanted it to

    Allow me to translate: you and Arran, collectively it seems, cannot produce a similar quartet. :rofl

    Who is changing the subject again? :D

    I haven't really engaged in the thread topic, have I?? It's boring and predicatable. Moreover, what is to not feel good about? American fighters have been, historically, the sport's finest. Period. End of.

    Another thread topic again, but not about the subject at hand which is American fighters not doing well away in the last 15 years. Fighting away can be a big part of what proves a fighters worth

    To the thread starters, most of them were robberies. Johnson got robbed in 3 fights including that draw vs Clinton woods. RJJ vs Green was controversial to say the least ( over tape hands the odds mysteriously changing just before the fight). Charles Brewster, beat Ottke both times , but Germany is known for corruption. Calzage victory over Byron Mitchell was stopped premature. Those are just few examples.

    Why you do hate America so much? That's all I ever see you writing about, tired old UK vs US bull****. Do you not like boxing outwith your little Anglo-American fixation?

    Dont hate America at all, think its a great country with great friendly people.
    I havent said anything about UK vs USA or have made a thread saying UK vs USA
    What I do try and put across to people who would sensibly (very few would try) listen is about how many American boxing fans are fooled by The Ring and HBO. Showtime have people fooled with the excellent S6 competition.
    Alot of Americans dont rate fighters because they havent heard of them or seen much of them. It wasnt a fluke that I picked Pascal to beat Dawson on points.
    America have produced many excellent champs but cant notice another good one in a fighter like Erdei undefeated 2 weight champ with an excellent LHW resume. Hopefully you have taken some note or I have typed for no reason

    Americans still rude's boxing today ,all fighters from another country we just let you play in it ,the best boxers will always be from the usa ...point blank until the world ends ,so some of you wins a few fights in your own country ,most of them are still bums and will never have hall of fame status....point blank.

    I have seen you countless time use ring ratings like the bible when it supports your argument. You can't have it both ways, either the ring is legit or it isn't. You use ring ratings to argue that Calzaghe vs. Jones was a meaningful fight, obviously you are the one being fooled by the ring.


    Want us to notice Erdei, tell him to fight someone. And his LHW resume is anything but excellent. Sorry. When Gonzalez is arguably your best win at LHW, you have problems i would think, in an ATG sense.

    The only way to win fights abroad is by ktfo outta your opponent cause when it goes to the scorecards, its a given the hometown fighter will most likely be the winner.
