Why Dont Brits get Respect?

No, Haye doesn't have a china chin, but he also doesn't have a good chin. I'd say it's "shaky", which means he can recover if he's dropped, where as china is shattered if put on the canvas.

 

I think theres a strong distinction between Warren fighters an British ones.

 

All you have to do to prove that theory is ask any American 'Benn or Eubank vs Jones Jnr or Toney'. George Foreman, Don King and others have said they set great store by our two, Jones is rumoured to have said he didnt want to face Eubank, but any Yank would say KO round 2 for RJJ or JT. Despite that being the Barkley and McClellan predictions.....

 

I think it is just a case of British fighters being unknown.

In Hattons last bout the pundits obviously knew little or nothing about Hatton. Spouting rubbish like "Hatton needs to box on the outside" or proclaiming Castillo as the better body puncher just before he got dropped.

It was not disrespect it was lack of knowledge, the punters get their info from the pundits, if they gave not done their homework the punter is lead up the garden path.

 

Got lucky with Corley?:huh

Witter clowned him.

 

Americans overrate RJJ a little too much, by looking at clips of him he seems to be a fighter who mostly just had pure reflexes, not much else and use that logic for favouring him against Calzaghe.

Calzaghe Is more multi dimensional than Jones was.

 

Hmmm.. hardly that. It was a boring fight with little action from either side. Witter did little and Corley next to nothing. Witter won, no question about it. I think what he meant was that Witter was lucky to be facing Corley (who had lost 3 of his last 6 and got stopped by an unknown in his next bout) for a version of the "world" title.

 

Brits are the best. Haye will be the man at 200. Calzaghe will be the man at 168. Calzaghe will then be the man at 175 when he beats Wright and Haye will then be the man when he cleans up HW. That is 168 to HW under British occupation.

Hatton is the man at 140 and when he bum ****s Floyd he will rule 147.

We need someone to rep it for the UK and take over 154 and 160.

135 down we have some things in the work with Amir, Arthur etc (not 100% confident in any of them). 140 up though we are the ****ing nuts!

 

He made Lightweight In his last fight maybe he was weight drained. Corley was nominated by the WBC so who could Witter of fought? Witter can't turn down these opportunities like Hatton.

Cotto had a contriversial fight with Corley too while Witter won easy. Some were making out Witter would be troubled by Corley too.

 

Historically American fighters have dominated. I also feel its because British fighters take a very long time to step up to world level such as Hatton, Calzaghe, and Naz.
