Why do Americans Hate Overseas Fighters ?

[kayjay]

For the same reason that whites used to hate blacks when said blacks were firts allowed into the pro leagues. It ruined their sense of superiority and made their past records and heroes seem relatively meaningless.

Even the great Ali was never a real world champ, he was champ of half of a divided world, the capitalist side. Whether he could have touched the top Soviet boxers will never be known. Muhammed Ali is just like Babe Ruth in that.

We don't get to see enough of these foreign fighters live to become true diehard fans of theirs. My goodness not every american is black, as a matter of fact only 12 percent of America is black so it is NOT because overseas they are white (David Haye is black by the way).

Sure skills, but race plays a part. A lot of American whites expect athletes to be black, and discriminate against a white athlete.

When I mention that white athletes are discriminated against, which I take for indisputably true, I mean mainly by white people. It makes no sense and drives me nuts, but it's part of the ***** ass white boy inferiority complex.

I have no sense of that complex, but I see it and I hate it.

Americans are the only people in the world that have everything in their country,every oppurtunity, and they are still unhappy. Americans(white and black) have gone SOFT from living in a rich economic country where you can get anything you want.

The REAL ******'s are in Eastern Europe. When I was a kid my dad was beaten half to death right in front of me by a gang of thugs because he wouldn't give them his money. Thankfully my dad survived and he is healthy today. It is a terrible place over there, you American's have got it easy as ****.

American's whine and ***** if they don't get a proper meal

Eastern Europeans are happy just to have a meal

I respect you bro, but I have been hated on a lot here by Americans, just because I am Eastern European and I am sick of it.

I think it's because as Americans, we feel the best competition is right here in the states. Therefore, our fighters come up fighting harder competition than the rest of the world. So an American prospect who is 20-0 seems way better than a British lad who's 20-0. Take Ricky Hatton for instance. Americans feel like he would not be undefeated if he came up fighting American fighters. Same for Joe Calzaghe. These are not my own feelings, but it's how us Americans are programmed. Better, faster, stronger. I feel that talent transcends oceans and language barriers.

this is really one of the only good and logical answers in the thread

If that's the way Americans think then you guys are DEAD WRONG, Overseas fighters are now better than American fighters and we will eventually completly take over boxing because you AMERICANS are getting softer and softer.

Your dumb ass finally made some good points...

And I will agree with you,especially the above....cause yes,I have everything I want.A 4000 sq foot home,new cars for me and the wife...I even bought my daughter a new car.
I am sooooo happy to be in America...dispite it's flaws,it is still the greatest place in the world.

And you are correct...you Euro guys have taken over the sport.Euro-fighters come from the real ******s and are simply hungrier.Americans are now fat-cats and guys that could be great fighters are playing American football.
So enjoy it...and you should quit whining about those who don't.
****head...
