    People act like this was some big upset, but those of us who know boxing know better than to jump on the UK Hype Train...
    They can bring all the drunken fans over here they want, this happens to them EVER TIME they leave the safety of london, especially in the heavies...
    Only 2 Brits have ever come to the US and shown a good account of themselves, those being Lennox Lewis and Joe Calzahge (#Respect)
    Honestly this wasn't a big upset at all, just history playing itself out.

    WTF are you on about?

    That is so wrong as to be literally embarrassing that you typed it.

    Fury said Hi
    After the Wilder decision I feel Brits should stay well away

    Fury? Last I seen him he was peeling his self up off the canvas to barely survive the last round. .
    Then he ran off and signed to fight a guy named Tom Shwartz...
    THIS is the example you want to use to disprove my claim?
    This speaks volumes, in and of itself

    All came to America, were dominate and became ATG and top 25 pfp. Learn your **** before you say such stupid things, not to mention

    Benn and Eubank beat every American they ever fought
    John Conteh was a beast
    Freddie Welsh is top 50/60 pfp contender
    Randolph Turpin has one of the best wins ever

    Joshua, might have just lost but he still has the best résumé in the division, and let's see, he may have just had an off night Against Ruiz, although I hope Ruiz does win the rematch

    Fury is the mentally toughest (whilst in the ring)

    Outside pre fight he cannot be mentally broken, and always gets inside his opponents heads
