What's the problem with American's

[SnoopySmurf]

I'd like to say it's the lack of media coverage of European fighters in the US is why we "under rate" boxers from there. Not really our fault, as our options are limited.

You may have a point. How he ever got KO'd by a guy like Rahman I'll never know. Still, it could have been worse, he could have lost to Maskaev twice.

Who overrates Rahman?

[MAXWELL_]

stop complaining and ask your boxers to fight someone of significants.
jez when i see those lackey nigel ben and eubanks threads i got to laugh. watching eubanks fight was like watching a "B" television movie.
but i tell you i sure would like to see more of graham earl.
wow that katsidis/ earl fight was awesome. man what a fight.he has the most heart of any britt ive seen out side of hatton.

Number One, our country (america) is fixated on trying to have the next heavyweight champion be here from the states. Plus America controls most of the boxing media coverage. I personally think Russian Fighters get less credit then British Fighters. One thing about British fighters thou is besides the Lennox Lewis's, most fight in there own country never expanding themselves to go international and show the rest of the world there good or not. You can't just beat up Todd down the street for the rest of your life, if you want to be legendary. yah feel me

okay calzaghe/kessler. i want to see something comprable to pavlik/taylor!!!

[eric maldonado]

i think lennox is 1 of the best heavyweights of all time i also feel like calzaghe is 1 of the best boxers in the game, besides ricky hatton i don't have a problem with any non american fighter

Maybe you didn't read my post correctly. Most of the international boxing media is based in the states! plus Britain is small. Thats like only fighting fighters from Massachusetts & New Hampshire. I'm not saying thats bad, I'm just saying there keeping themselves from gaining international respect & noteterity. Plus, generally speaking US fighters would travel to try and get titles, most recently Lacy, Ruiz, Manfrado, Holyfield, etc... Most Lost, but at least they took the flight to chase there dreams. There's one thing being comfortable were you are & another thing wanting to be considered a great.

Quality of opposition multiplied by exposure is how fighters are rated.

Exposure to Americans.
