What Is Your Opinion Of British Fighters

[moofo]

What does the Russians kicking ass now have to do with British boxing?
Oh,I get it...you're gonna make them citizens.

Britain is made up of 4 different countries.
From those 4 small populations we have done well.
What is your excuse for a nation of 300 million for your curretn achievements?

Don't be bitter because you are underachieving.

Its not our fault you are still governed by ancestors of British people.

The only reason why the US heavies were Dominant for so long is because the Russians were in bondage as the Soviet Union.
Look what has happened since the fall of Communism!
Russians were not allowed to fight professionally the same as the Cubans!

You compare Brits to the USA which is quite ridiculous.
A nation of 300 million versus 65 Million.

The Cubans whoop the USA in Amateur Boxing with a nation of 12 million.

This is a ******, generalising thread.

That said, this is probably the best period in British boxing history, with many genuine world class champs.

Thanks for the geography lesson...

I am not bitter...unlike you my self-esteem does not rise or fall on a silly sporting event.
So when you say 'I' am underachieving,it means nothing to me...just like when you say 'we'.Because what have 'you' done...what is your boxing record?

As for your ancestors...'they' kicked the **** out of them long ago.

Please enjoy your tea...and have a spot of it with your Queen.

Its sad that a Nation of 300 million people can't find a Heavyweight Champion.

AND it's sad that the only foreign Heavyweights SUCK, too. No big deal, though.

As a whole, SOME British fighters have a "big fish in a small pond" thing going for them, and when you get them in bigger water, they don't make it. Some, are great. Great is great, no matter where you're from. America has fighters from all over the world, at a higher level. So fighting over here, on a grander stage, you're bound to get tested more, and then, hopefully, excell and prove yourself more. And a lot of British fighters just don't wanna fight here.

Generic and uninspired comment.

While it may be true IN SOME CASES, you had a IBF champion who feasted on bums and washed-up hasbeens. Then when he CAME OVER TO THE UK he got exposed. Jeff Lacy, you remember him?

When did I say that all American fighters were the real deal? I was never HUGE on Lacy to begin with, and I picked Calzaghe to beat him, regardless of if that's important or not. Fact of the matter is, most of tyhe big fighters, prefer to fight in America, so that's where the big fights, generally happen. Generic doesn't mean wrong.
