why do us brits not get a big fight

Well, i think Hatton is willing to travel much more but Calzaghe i have to agree is not wanting to leave the UK, he was lucky Lacy came to England.

Collazo was not robbed, so stop cryin'. It was a close fight that could've gone either way. Save your crying for real robberies like Foreman-Briggs, and Oquendo-Byrd. But yes, Collazo does deserve a big fight again.

Damn right. That fight was a robbery. Hopefully Collazo gets another big fight. He deserves it. The brits will come to America for one big fight,and if they win they going to want to go back to england. To say that Collazo deserved to win is a matter of opinion...to call it a robbery shows that you can't score fights for toffee. Much respect for your posts has been lost.

Because Most Brit fighters are sheltered and stay at their home base. Yes that's right, Lacy would have faired a lot better against Calzaghe if they had fought in the states...get real. America is the Mecca of boxing whether your American, British, Mexican, Puerto Rican or whatever...The fact is that the quality of boxing opponents is high in America so only the cream of the crop can come over here and be successfull...fighters like Lewis and Hatton. Fighters that are highly regarded in Britain like Froch, Witter, Scott Harrison etc would be mediocre in comparison to the quality of fighters that do business in America, not necessarily American fighters, but fighters that are american based.

brits dont get a warm welcome in america. the judges and refs are very good apart from a few exceptions

Brits' will get their chance if they are willing to face competition wherever they go. Unfortunately Calzghe is in a weight with no big name s and the boxers he would like to fight are already booked. He can keep fighting and taking every challenge in his way. If he shines he will get his respect and money down the line.

Bc they dont want to come over here. JC had RJJ chomping at the bit he was willing to go over there but JC got gready. He said If he loses people are going to say that he lost to a washed up fighter if he wins they are going to say he beat a washed up fighter. I dont think that is true but ohwell. Winky is already fighting samething with Bhop and Tarver. He had a shot with RJJ but blew it. Maybe he should try to take the winner of Winky and Taylor or if Tarver wins go after him. BUT IN AMERICA not over in that no talent country over there.

Nobody cares about Brits and euro ***s, they would never step foot in the US if there life dependeded onit..../

because most of their fighters don't leave their country in worry that they will lose. They don't want to be the next Naseem Hamed. Case in point, Hatton lost against Collazo and was lucky to get the victory. Damn right. That fight was a robbery. Hopefully Collazo gets another big fight. He deserves it.

Brits don't deserve big fights. Most Brit fighters are unwilling to come to America, so why should American fighters go to over there? Bang on ! :) :) :)
