Besides a few fighters in history, the British are known for producing incredibly bad boxers who do no good outside their country and just fight other bums. I now realize though that I can't blame them. If I could be a shit fighter, never have to face any real competition, always stay and fight out of my hometown or area, and make a lot of money doing it I would. Most the fights I have seen from Great Britain are a couple of bums no one besides biased brits have heard of, fighting in front of packed stadiums and make good money doing it. Really it's the perfect way to make a living;being protected so no one will find out how bad of a fighter you are and make a load of money in the process and trick your biased countrymen into claiming you as a great fighter. Lucky for them they don't have to earn their way up to good paychecks like real fighters do. God it would suck to be a british boxing fan though :lol1:
It is true of many nations that there are bums, however the guys who are protected that you talk of earn more than you.
no way, really? that was the whole point of my thread. they can make a **** load of money by fighting other bums in their hometowns and all that

Oh, excuse me, Tyson was 32, go ahead and bring up the Tyson wasnt in his prime. thats bull****, he punched just as hard at 32 than he did at 22, he just happened to fight a good boxer. Same thing happened when holyfield beat Tyson twice.
actually he was nearly 36 and only won 1 more fight in his career but yeah he was pretty prime.
:lol1::lol1::lol1: what about bums on the street, do you call them bums?
too risky. the homeless got nothing to lose and will rip you apart with their underrated speed.
i don't remember that at all.

He is not a legend but there are those on here who would claim he was a bum.
People use this word far too often and it is easy to say this behind the comfort of the computer.
i'm not afraid to call someone a bum in real life if i'm in a moving vehicle.
Well I guess you and I have very different criteria for what constitutes a legend. His two best wins are over a completely shot Gatti, and an unmotivated Judah. Add to that, that he has 13 losses and 6 draws on his record.............yeah..........I'd say it's pretty hard to make a case for him being a legend. He got lucky against Zab, and rode that all the way to the bank. Zab looked past him, and paid dearly.
he also beat mickey rodriguez.
Damn dude Im American and even I must admit you were pretty brutal in that thread. Lets not forget one of the greatest heavyweights was british, Lennox Lewis, seems to me I remember him beating a 30 year old Tyson. Nigel Benn, Joe Calzaghe, Hatton, Amir Khan's mixed ass, there are a few but I do slightly agree with you, there are alot of bums, but if they can make alot of money fighting over there, more power to them ya know.

You consider Baldomir a legend? Okay.
linear welterweight champion of the world. challenged floyd mayweather in a super fight...................and he did other things!(probably)
argentina is the best boxing country. they have legends like monzon and baldomir. they have 2 of the best p4p fighters in the world in martinez and narvaez. and their population is less than both the usa and the uk.
Its about the here & now, and right now meh.:rofl:
yeah you are correct, and boxing in general has taken quite a big hit. but from what i hear from mma fans that is already taking a big decline overall.
you're right american boxing has definitely seen better days, but that doesnt change the fact that we have the greatest fighters ever. also down with mma.
Its about the here & now, and right now meh.:rofl:
America's time has passed, time to move over for the rest of the world, tis a shame, but every dog has its day, RIP American Boxing, long live MMA Lol

British fighters > White Americans (like the the thread starter)
not that it matters what your nationality or race is.
Your right neither race or nationality matters, so I don't know what the reasoning behind Great Britain producing 95% journeyman status fighters is. All I know is American fighters> British fighters and especially welsh fighters and people(like you)
