Whenever I stay up to watch British fighters in America, they always end up getting smashed.
Tyson Fury is the only British man who goes to America and beats elite Americans.
Even AJ gets smashed by a 100/1 underdog when he crosses the pond.
Brits need to learn from Fury.
With the exception of AJ, most of the examples given were supposed to lose - they were underdogs. Even Fury was an underdog, who then upset things by winning. Plenty of Brits have gone to the US as a clear favourite and won.
So basically, you're asking why UK fighters don't go into their opponent's territory and win against the odds. Like that's what any nation's fighters do on a regular basis.

Look how relaxed and calm Fury is and then compare him to Kell Brook who looked like a deer in headlights.
Fury turns up to win, and that's the difference between him and other British fighters.
So what happened when Brook beat Porter in California? Did he still freeze?
Tonight wasn't about being scared of America, it was about Brook being shot. The only Brits who lose on American soil are shot fighters, fighters manipulated by weight or B level fighters fighting A level fighters.
AJ was an upset but **** happens.
There's nothing different about fighting in America compared to anywhere else, nobody gives af where they fight, it's about levels and who's running the show.
I’m still not even sure how Brook beat Porter to be honest.
Why? Brook's style is meant to face someone like Porter who comes in reckless. Brook is also big and strong enough to hold his own and not get roughed up unlike many of Porter's opponents.
Brook was a good fighter. No shame in losing to the fighters he lost to.
Khan did just fine in America, despite some of his losses.
Eubank Jr supposedly will get Charlo or Plant next in December. Let's see what he can do!
Is this about the fear and intimidation factor? or skill level? There are definitely brits who seem good enough technically. But when I see Billy Joe talking the way he was over that debacle with Canelo my impression is there is a bit of stage fright and not daring to be great.

had the benefit of being an unknown quanity..so porter didnt even have a plan, just got wreckless and began to underestimate brook in the early rounds.

tyson has a cousin who's introverted and shy.
you can't 'learn' those traits.
i dont for a single second think aj was nervous that night, something else was up.
i dont think brook lost because he was nervous of being in america. he was nervous of fighting crawford who he knew deep down is better than him.
learn what from fury? that's got to be one of the dumbest points ive ever read
'oi you....
you are **** at boxing
go be like tyson fury'
ok...brb

I would give Callum Smith a good chance to stop Plant, for example.
Callum Smith is going to be the next British fighter to get beaten up in America when Canelo gets his hands on him.
Most top UK fighters seem to stay in the UK until they are finished then they go cash out selling their half dead corpses for medical experiments vs Prime US boxers.
Fury and Froch are the top British fighters since lennox IMHO, Fury is peerless and Froch won more than most on the road.
Froch and Fury weren't phased by America, good post.
