    not one single fight fan has given a legitimate answer in support of hopkins, jones, and toney in 3 pages.

    why did they all duck benn, eubank and calzaghe when they were by far the best competition out there to be faced?

    was america brain washed into thinking these 3 great british fighters didn't exist so they didn't have to come to britain and prove themselves against the finest competition out there?

    Now, I'm an American and very proud of Calzaghe. He's one of my favorite's. He is a legend. But this **** about McClellan is just ****ing low and you're a piece of **** for typing it. I think a lot of guys do a lot of dodging but Toney never ducked ANYBODY. I don't like Toney but he never ducked a sole.

    The very reason you typed this post was to make reference at guy's that dodged great U.K guys, yet, you mention the one GREAT fighter that didn't dodge the U.K guys and that was McClellan who fought like a great warrior. You should be ashamed of what you just typed.

    I personally think you guys that make this a U.K/U.S.A thing are acting pretty insecure about the whole bit. Henry Cooper almost knocked Ali out and the U.K has produced some of the greatest of all time. In fact, the Europeans are taking over boxing probably because we have gotten lazy, rich, and complacent.

    Get over the U.K insecurities. Us Americans KNOW how great some of your boxing heroes are, especially the one's that know boxing, but, don't ever throw McClellan under the bus. He was a great hero of our's also. He probably could have beat Benn on a good day and lost on the next but damn the guy's blind and helpless so have some RESPECT for him like us Americans.

    It will be ok. We know you have great fighters but **** you for disrespecting McClellan.........:-(

    Scar put a checkmate on this ridiculous thread.

    Collins and Benn eventually turned down 3 million dollar paydays to fight Roy.

    McClellan was a warrior... but he was also a ***** outside the ring. Just like RJJ did some pretty sick/cruel stuff outside the ring. If McClellan was such a hero why didn't his mates who had money go and help him out?

    He was particularly evil outside the ring and I for one am glad he got what he deserved in the end. Just like RJJ, I would have felt sorry for him when Calzaghe was taking the ****, doing all that stupid showboating... but then I thought RJJ was very cruel and he enjoyed watching cocks rip bits of each others with razors attached to their legs...in the name of "sport"... also RJJ starting showboating in the first and second rounds when he was on top in the Calzaghe fight....just like he had showboated to the bums he faced earlier in his career.

    McClellan was particularly sick when he used to feed defensless muzzled Labradors to his fighter pitbulls - for fun. The way I see it, I don't have any sympathy for your american Hero, former G-Man....he was a **** outside the ring and was pretty sick and evil.

    I think it's because those Yank fighters you mentioned wanted to protect the backs of their skulls, with Benn being a notorious rabbit-puncher and all.

    And Hopkins was never a dirty headbutting on the blind side of the ref hitting sort of guy.

    Benn Sparked Barkley and his chin was underated due to his open style.

    Well like I said, he was a warrior... but he was also a despicable piece of **** outside the ring.... so not much of a heroe in my book. To be so cruel.... leaves you open to attack.... and like he had no mercy on many helpless defenseless dogs.... i don't have a problem with those who say he deserved what was coming to him.

    A real Hero is a guy like Michael Watson.... that guy had heart and I think only his fitness levels at the time mean he has recovered as well as he had. He was also a nicer guy outside the ring unlike the **** former G-Man,
     
  12. **** Mccllean-Karma is a *****, Cali has already beaten Hops-Jones, and i don't give a **** about everyones ages, they all agreed to take the fight, and Cali at almost 37 is no spring chicken, and Toney who lost to tomato can Drake Thadizi, and scrub Montell Griffin 2x, and lost to Tiberi, would have been waxed by Eubank, man it was nice to see Jones beat down last night after all the **** he has talked during his career:lol: Roy actually looked scared at times during the fight:blurp :lol:
