I dont think that is the case, the public in America loved Prince Naseem, the ratings on HBO for any Prince fight was through the roof. The public was very supportive of Lennox Lewis as well, or else they would not have paid big dollars to watch his fights. WAIT WHO THE HELL PAID FOR A LENNOX LEWIS FIGHT? THE ONLY LEWIS FIGHT I EVER PAID FOR WAS AGAINT TYSON. THATS ONLY CAUSE I WANTED TO SEE IF TYSON COULD KNOCK HIS UGLY BRAIDS OFF HIS STUPID HEAD :boxing:
dont forget nigel benn.
europe's mini-mike tyson.
guys like nigel benn and prince naseem weren't only boxers, they were showmen, and boxing needs more chracters like them, some people may dispute their overall boxing ability, but they can't dispute that.

I LOVE it when Americans use this as a Witty Putdown (TM) thinking it's clever, when:
1. It's spelt Britain in the first place.
2. It's an old joke, and one used in the world's unfunniest and smuggest sitcom, Friends.
3. Losing a war is not something to make jokes about after Vietnam
and 4. You think standing by and letting people get killed UNTIL they attacked Pearl Harbour is something to brag about?
anorak,its obvious,in your previous posts,that u know dick about boxing and are only here for social function,correcting grammar and shit.i think you are forgetting D-Day, that's THE BIGGEST sacrifice one country sacrificed to another country, motherfucker..and we did that for europe..so you better respect the states, u racist little cunt.
anorak is nothing more than a simpleton, watch,he'll reply, claiming he had to take me off ignore,then he'll call me a 'silly kid'.watch the display of pure pussification at it's finest.
I dont think anybody was counting all the counter punches Kostya landed cause some of the score cards were off to me.
i agree tszyu was doing alot of good counter punching the only scorecard that was good was 104-105 for hatton the other two scorecards were 107-102 and 106-103 way off....
I am SOOOOOOOO happy he won but I don't think Hatton fought very well for by his standards. He can be a lot more elusive when he want to be and has much better movement. Somehow he knew from the first bell that he take his power all night.
Magical.
I was very suprised to find out this afternoon and find out Kosta lost to fight . I am even more suprised to find the people of two countries (Countries that have both lost lives in IRAQ) and sit and turn what was a good fight into a Sh** talking match about who's country is greater . AS a member of AMERICAS fighting forces currently serving in Korea . Please people lets not bring up history where millions of people lost there lives . Hatton won the fight and the future will tell if he will continue to win .

P.S Congratulations to Ricky Hatton on a well deserved win
who fuckin cares about WW2, i dont give a fuck about patriotism or any of that shit. The point is, he needs to fight outside of MEN to really get that respect from americans, meaning, the respect of the center of the boxing world.
:)
It does sadden me though to see the following two things:
1. Total denial of this win by everyone EXCEPT Kostya Tsyzu himself.
2. People who suddenly think they're an expert on Ricky Hatton's boxing style because they saw this one fight where he chose to get on Kostya's chest.
"Yo, fuckers, he was just jumpin on him in this fukkin fight so... thats what he always does."
I picked Hatton to win and give him a lot of respect for beating an all-time great in Tszyu. I don't see what the big deal is here...Hatton outworked and outboxed Tszyu...
He gave a great fight, but he wont be an elite if he faces other key. oppnants. One thing wrong with Kostya and i always say this, is that his power punch is his cross which can be easly blocked if real careful. Its better to have a devastating hook or uppercut than a cross.
But mad props to Hatton, but if he faced Floyd, it would look like Tito vs. Wright all over again. All Hatton does is throw punches in bucnhes and he comes straight foward.

Can you please ban JuyJuy until Hatton fights outside of England?
I'm dead serious..
I respect Ricky for the win..but you'll need to drink a big gladd of shut the f**k up...seriously...ricky clinch and made it a very dirty fight and didnt really KO KT,i would be worried if i were u that KT may go home,study the type and come back with a better game plan and ko Ricky...but whatever..who Hatton fights next is gonna really prove who and what kinda man he is.
Your right he didnt really KO Tszyu. He made him quit in the corner due to a punishing body attack . BOTH men fought dirty but Hatton did the job corrctly and props to him tonight. Im out 2 million points :mad:
so.....Ricky stopped Kostya? LOL! thats cool. I never thought he had a chance at winning the fight.

It's because American's hate Englisgh fighters, they know that England is 100,000 times smaller than American and that per capita we leave them in the dark. American's should be ashamed of themselves.

Props to Hatton for winning, but I thought it was a little dirty and more like wrestling rather then boxing and I dont think anybody was counting all the counter punches Kostya landed cause some of the score cards were off to me. Hattons gonna have to come up with some better strategies if he plans too fight in the good ol' US of A cause Mayweathers too slick and Castillo will eat Hatton alive if he still plans on moving up 140.

Im not sure how this is an England vs. America battle when Tszyu is and never was, considered an American fighter or an American champion. The American national anthem was not sung tonight, the Australian anthem was sung for Tszyu. If anything, it was a battle between England and Australia.

I liked the comment that Hatton isnt fighting (i quote) "real" fighters. Whoever said that needs to reconsider if their life was a mistake or whether they were meant to be born.
Also how can ricky be in 2 places at one time. He has just beaten Tszyu ffs how can he beat Mayweather, Corrales at the same time. give him a chance to recover and Frank warren has said that they are coming over around September/October.
Oh yea the low-blow point wasnt even worth making cos Kostya started that shit off rele.
Oh yea and the war shit. Exactly my point. U never took the enigma machine as you would like to believe and all we have to do is look at the date of when America entered the war. One year before the end and that says it all. The end was an inevitability for the germans and the Americans take the credit for coming in at the last minute. Almost as shallow as some of the comments that were made after the fight.
