    Don't waste your time, bro.

    He's a twisted little Limey twat that cannot bring himself to accept the blatantly obvious-- namely that the US has long since eclipsed his shithole of a country in everything of import from military prowess to boxing. :bbb

    We do, the Brits, Or if you like the English, we are terrible for it, i am, we cant help it.

    Im bad for it with footy more than anything, i tend to remain realistic (usually) with boxing.

    America because they actually believe the hype and expect the fighters to win even though they were never that good in the first place. Jeff Lacy, Kelly Pavlik, Paul Williams, and Hoye are just a few of the recent hype jobs expected to achieve lots.

    British fans are loyal. Ricky hatton lost to Floyd, but most fans expected Hatton to lose. They still sang when he lost. How many Americans do that when the fighter they love gets knocked out? Americans Hype and then ditch the fighter like he's got a plague when he loses.

    Do you know what the definition of 'hype' is:-:)lol:
     
  9. UK. Pre Klitschko fight: "Haye is the best HW and he will kill Wlad"
    Post Klitschko fight: "Haye is a cruiserweight"

    Remember how many British commentators said Haye would beat Wlad?
    All of Haye's heavyweight opponents were 35 years old or older and 2 of them were c level and two of them were shot (Ruiz,Valuev)
    yet somehow,the Brit commentators picked Haye to KO Wlad in 3 rounds! Yeah right.Hype Hype Hype

    Yes, it's when something is overrated. What has that got to do with what I said? Just because you rate someone highly doesn't mean you ditch them after their first loss, especially considering 99.9% of boxers finish their career with a loss.
