Yeah I'm as English as it gets, lived here all my life. I love boxing, and call it how I see it - nationality isn't a factor to me, but narrow-minded people from my own land get on my ****ing nerves just as much as narrow-minded people from other lands do - probably more in fact as I take it more personally when a Brit is talking like a ****.
That's the way it is over here I'm afraid...the booing of the national anthem is downright offensive and if I'd been there I wouldn't have done it but there is an 'island mentality' over here. Mexicans nut-hug their fighters too, and so do Puerto Ricans, remember the Trinidad lovers? :shock: :shock: :shock: Hatton fired things up too with some of the idiotic things he said but for my mind Floyd was no better - at least after the fight both men showed class, which was good.
It may well be Julio Cesar Chavez, which would have been about 17-18 years ago? I might be wrong though. De La Hoya was P4P number 1 briefly too I think, is he classed as American, Mexican, or Lesbian?
"Grainy stills" is an old-school ESB classic quote that we don't see enough of nowadays.:yep "Glass jaw" and "exposed" are the new buzz-words that get pulled out after pretty much every fight now. :roll:
Most common is Brits trying to talk crap about Americans. All I gotta say is scoreboard. PBF TKO10 Hatton.
The Americans are clinging onto a few old men Europe is dominating. In a few years they will all be coming over here for the big fights, for exposure, to fight the best fighters in the best arenas How times are changing
