I mean, really, boxing in the U.S has became a joke
and British boxing is back page news. Plus, we have the better fighters.
Carl Froch will beat Andre Ward. Styles make fights, and he's the U.S's best prospect. ****. Boxing is in trouble in the states. Froch isnt even the best fighter fighter in Britain.
At the end of the day the US has became 2 rich and no-one really knows a struggle there any more. They've became 2 fat, 2 lazy, 2 spoilt.
The British belt means more than the USBA. wow, i never thought i say that, but the british champ whoops that champ in the majority of weight classes imo. Euro champ means more than both.
discuss? why have the americans became so terrible at boxing? are they not tough enough
USA population - 305,689,000 - 7 World Champions
UK population - 60,000,000 - 4 World Champions
5x the population of the UK and only 3 more champs.
I'm just sayin'
I agree.
100% the yanks dont have a amauter system like they used to, they used to win everything at at the olympics and world championships, but guys like Carl Froch, Amir Khan, David Haye started winning them even big Audley Harrison, our worst, has one a Gold Medal, but he spent most of his carear in Big Bear, mastering the art of dont hit/back off

Not a valid comparison imo. You need to compare the number of champions vis-a-vis the number of professional boxers, not the total population. Its a moot point anyway because MEXICO owns all (I believe they have 12 or so world champs)
VIVA MEXICO
That is true but there is other factors than just belts. Do we knock a fighter just because he doesn't have a strap? Obviously we don't or we shouldn't. Look at Chad Dawson and Paul Williams. For a long time they had belts but they lost to two really talented fighters, I certainly wouldn't call them bums. It doesn't matter though I think we all realize that this was a poor thread.
I know I just wanted to get involved :lol1:

This is a fairer comparison. Imo, Yanks are currently underachieving and we are doing well.
Froch can beat Ward and outclassed Dirrell easily
Amir Khan can beat Berto, Judah, Bradley and Alexander
David Haye can beat Arreloa and Holyfield
Hatton can beat Mosley if he comes back at 147 with a nutrionalist
Froch can beat Ward and outclassed Dirrell easily
That's a lie. I generously gave Froch the fight by a couple of rounds because Dirrell fought a sh#t fight in the first half, but Dirrell outlanded Froch. Even if I say Froch won that fight, it was definitely not in a one sided beatdown and neither easy, if he had to get a SD to win in his own hometown
Amir Khan can beat Berto, Judah, Bradley and Alexander
Agreed
David Haye can beat Arreloa and Holyfield
Agreed
Hatton can beat Mosley if he comes back at 147 with a nutrionalist
Lol no. Unless he learns to stop walking in with his chin up in the air
EDIT
Nevermind. You were taking the piss -_-... Either way I did think Froch won that fight
USA population - 305,689,000 - 7 World Champions
UK population - 60,000,000 - 4 World Champions
5x the population of the UK and only 3 more champs.

To manny maybes in this post. Lol at hatton beaten mosley.
You dudes are delusional. You want to support your own. I get it.
Oh dirrell beat froch. Froch didn't out class him. You need to kick rocks with that bullsh1t.
I just looked at the Ring P4P top 10, and I didn't find any ginger limey slags.
My eyes may be deceiving me, but I see no English, no Welsh, no Northern Irish, and definetely no Braveheart Scots.

thats a (big shock) american website.
in 6 months, and we can make a bet on this, there will be mroe british fighters on there than american. Who specifically? Carl Froch, David Haye, Amir Khan and Nathan Cleverley
Ricky Burns and Kell Brook also have the potential to be on there in about a year
Calzaghe was good, I'll give y'all that......but he's retired
Carl Froch is gonna get slaughtered by Andre Ward
Amir Khan is another KO waiting to happen, probably against an American it Maidana doesn't do it
David Haye is gonna get raped when he finally mans up and faces the Klits
who else?
Bookmarked this thread for safe keeping, after Andre Ward takes Carlton Froch's soul.
can you answer me one question?
why hasnt Andre Ward fought outside of his hometown when everyone else in the Super 6 has?
theres that heart question again...hmmm
