Does Ricky Hatton have AMERICAN fans?

[Cletus Funk]

Holy **** that is lame. Cricket? Tennis? Soccer? Somebody cue the music for "I'm proud to be an American" lol. Brits really need to start looking into playing American Football.

We already do. We just don't ***** it up with crash helmets and a coffee break every 5 minutes.

American footballers are barely even athletes - 5 seconds work followed by a 3 min break. Rugby players play a full 80 mins and there's none of the offense / defense team bull****.

Are you nervous about their recent signings? A lot of money on players who are largely unproven. Plus, success in the Italian league normally results in failure playing the EPL.

I'm a little bit concerned that the team is lacking in local flavour and the new signings are a bit of a mongrel mix from all corners of the globe, but at the same time there's a sense of optimism that hasn't been present at City since Keegan dragged us out of the lower-division quagmire. There's a real feeling that in a couple of years City could well be mentioned among the top teams in the country.

WHat Sven is doing is building a team which has been slowly eroded for the past five seasons or so. Pearce was great for a while but I don't think he could cut it in the transfer market, while Sven is successful and experienced.

Part of the problem with American soccer is that the players look like little boys.

I turn to ESPN to see if Beckham is playing - he isn't. Landon Donovan is attempting a corner kick. He has the same body I had in the seventh grade. WTF?

I'm fairly certain that my sister can beat Freddy Adu to a pulp.

It would probably be a good idea to ignore my post, since you are the epitome of a bottom feeder; you've been online all day bumping this useless goddamn thread, seeking attention like a mother****er...Get a life, or a job...But before you do either, sit your five dollar ass down before I make change.

Since you chose not to address my post I'll repost it...

You think just because Hatton is white that America will go ape**** over him?
Wow..

Even if Hatton was a bigger puncher and had KO'd Collazo, the fact still remains that the majority of the American boxing fanbase consists of browns or blacks, like yourself. Browns/Blacks are the majority population in most ******s. Boxing thrives in the ******, which is where most fighters come from. Average fans like you're talking about tend to relate to the best fighter who is the same ethnicity as themselves. You can't expect these black/brown average or hardcore fans to take Hatton as serious as they take Mayweather, because of a few factors, one is Collazo, and the second is the fact that Hatton does get hit alot and he has been down...So they figure he's just another win for Floyd.

This has to be the most redundant thread ever, but let me explain something else to you, since you're new here, Dios. People don't like reading red text. In every single reply you make, you feel the need to bold and redden part of your message. I don't know which forum you came from before you came here, but I'm sure they didn't like that either. Resize or use bold like everyone else...

Even way back when, America never really loved a British fighter like they loved a guy like, say, DLH, Tyson, Ali, or George Foreman. Because in the back of alot of Americans minds, they dislike the British and think that their boxing is on a lower tier. The best british HW ever, Lennox Lewis, didn't even get the respect and love from America that people thought he should've. Oh, but by your idiotic racist logic, since he isn't white, he doesn't count.


PS, Which forum kicked you out?

Square,

Have you ALWAYS been that boring?

The guy who sat around all day bumping his thread, calling me boring...funny.

Honestly, I wouldn't reply to my post either. You're up **** creek without a paddle, and all you can do is talk about david beckham.

Funko, why are you debating the merits of rugby vs. American football?
