I know that a lot of British and European fans talk a lot of shit on here but why do so-called intelligent boxing fans try so hard to discredit British fighters?
I agree, some Americans are too hard on UK boxers. But I think really knowledgable, true boxing fans can evaluate them without prejudice.
I never judge a fighter by his nationality. I've never been to the UK, but Joe Calzaghe is one of my favorites. I've never been to Australia, yet I'm a big fan of Kostya Tszyu. I've never been to Mexico, but I'm a fan of Margarito, Mijares, Monteil, and Soto.
Haye seems to have less class than British fighters such as Eubank and Calzaghe, he's difficult for me to like.
You judge fighters by their skin color
FACT.
They need someone to root for, hell they bum off welshman Calzaghe. I think people will have hurt feelings when I speak with my opinion. And Malignaggi is going to put America back on top when he beats Hatton.
I thought me and my girlfriend were the only people in the world who use that expression. Green K all the way Mac, you're in an elite club.

yea paulie will win if he performs on same level and hunger he had in fight against ndou 1st time. but is hopeless if he fights like his last 2 fights.
Ha ha I don't know bout you but I barely understood a single word that came out of his mouth in his post fight interview
He is without doubt the most northern sportsman I have ever seen conduct interview. He sounds like he is from another country altogether. He should learn sign language and just give us a general run down of his thoughts through sign or he could draw pictures.
why do britsh posters give britsh fighters too much credit?

It's probably because we have Kell Brook.

Because britain pound 4 pound produces a hell of a lot of talent, some fighters are overprotected but I agree with most here you can filter out the educated fans from the...well I think you know.
Having spent a lot of time in both california and england, I can say that British fighters can have padded records but thats only because the general competition is not as good as in the US and mexico and going to fight in another continent as a young guy can be risky for any fighter, but that doesn't mean there necessarily bad fighters or hype, just unproven at the very highest level. On the flip coin I think US fight fans in general are ignorant towards fighters not from north and south america. Thats basically where the problem is.

jealousy...
I hated David Haye ever he bad mouthed Calzaghe. I'd understand if David Gaye respected Calzaghe, but he just attacks Calzaghe. And the hilarious thing is that Calzaghes resume looks like hof material compared to David Gayes.
Sorry, I'm still mad that David Gaye didn't lose yet. The klits will be the ones to ko this kid.
