    50 years? True, +2% annual interest.:deal
    Today countries don't demand payment up front for goods but you try to make a point about it happening during WARTIME???:rofl:rofl

    9 or 10 vessels? You can't even read a sentence properly and you're putting others down constantly.
    9/10 = nine out of ten you tool and you thought I was meaning 9 OR 10!!!!

    How would Britain have fared? Not as well to begin with, but you're forgetting two things,
    1) Germany was ****ed the day they invaded Russia so this idea I hear from a lot of Americans that "If it wasn't for us you'd all be speaking German" is horse****, the Russians have a far better claim to that statement than America. So essentially the day Germany did that the war was over anyway.
    2) The USA would finally have to trade with the UK anyway what with Germany and Italy declaring war on the USA. Pearl Harbour would have still happened regardless, America would seek allies, the UK being the main one and in order for that to happen trade routes would have to be opened up.

    Anyway, could have, should have, would have, I've answered but I'm not interested to be honest. Let's stick to what actually happened and the motivations ($$$$$$$$$) for why they happened.:good

    Difference is Americans dont overrate their fighters because of Nationalistic pride. Sometimes its just not knowing any better or being mistaken.

    Reason why is USA always has and always will have at least a handful of elite fighters to chose from. Where as the UK doesnt regularly spit out PFP types, so you get all excited about fighters from UK every chance you get.

    i dont think that is the case.

    english fighters are very strong,definitely superior to the yanks. its a lot of envy behind,so they keep on joking.

    there are a lot if UK fighters with a good amateur background who will clean up their divisions.

    fights are (still) won in the ring,not outside. so let the talkers do the talk.

    malignaggi kept joking and insulting about khan until he got his ass beaten. afterwards,he showed some respect.

    but thats the americans:they need a good beating first until they shut up.

    Yeah thats a fair comment & it's true:smoke

    It'll always be the case as to mark yer level you'll have to go to the states & beat an accepted top level yank fighter but as we know what with all these alpabete title's & home country PPv sales the (Non U.S) home country promoters are out selling an untested product as far as the yanks are concerned & for good reason. It's all about fleecing the locals 1st of their $$$$.

    I've always found the yanks hard but fair in there opinion's of overseas fighters as i've never heard a yank say NIGEL BENN was crap:bart

    you seem to have totally skipt thepoint where I said ''did business with hitler while american soldiers were dying'' and instead decided to revert back to colonial power some 50 to 100 years prior. How about you answer the question instead of reponding with somethign completely unrelated that makes you feel better. GM, IBM, Ford, Prescott Bush all did business with hitler while british...and eventually american soldiers (when Japan ruined your fun of bleeding us dry, and staying 'neutral') were dying, was it moral? that was the question, the answer isnt to repond about another time in history, its about ww2. The british were getting down to business with the worst dictator of recent time, the USA stayed neautral and tried to bleed britain (its supposed closest ally) while it did the fighting, while the US sat back and watched until Germany finally declared war on you, only then did you get involved. Anyway, the question was incase you missed it, was it moral american companies doing business with hitler while americans died fighting? dont respond with....well in 1833 britain was a colonial power...blah blah blah.

    American = money before morals.

    Hey Arran California alone has better fighters than the UK. You seem to think all those good fighters i listed previously were fighters that just moved to California from somewhere else.:nono But thats just not true all the top guys are i listed were at least raised there since childhood(Nonito,Mares) the rest California natives. So i dont want to hear the same old whining excuse that Americas is so big and we are just a "Wittle itty bity Island":lol::lol:

    Even if i took those guys out California still wins.

    By the way the only other comeback you always give is Arnie being Austrian and a govenor of California. Quit avoiding the point here that California has better fighters than the UK,and with 20 million less people.:hey

    lets see your list? according to you, you have. But then americans are biased agaist english british fighters because most of you are anglophobic. You even have the nerve to claim people like Lacy are better than Calzaghe, infact about 90% of american media experts said the same thing. Its also alot easier for americans isnt it, they get everything their own way, always fighting in their own country, its like playing an entire season of home games only.
