British fighters...have they got anyone's respect yet?

haha they'd be the same weight. haha.

Poor Naz.

He really could have made a comeback you know... but, like what my mate says (who sparred with Naz) he had done everything... won the amatuer titles...won british titles...won world titles and defended them! Fought in America and became ****ing rich and a superstar in the process.

What more did he have to prove?

That he wasn't guilty of driving his Mclaren Mercedes at a Million miles an hour trying to overtake 5 cars on a 40mph speed limit? road.
And that he didn't run from the scene like Zola Budd being chased by a savage Ostrich with Bird flu.

Oh and as for nationality being a factor...
Without being racist it can be a factor.
Not just by the country but where they are from in their respective country
Obvious example..Ricky Hatton grew up in lancashire in a community where most people were working class.
If he had grown up in Buckinghamshire he may well be grooming ponies and shagging sheep instead of boxing.
And also drinking weak warm beer or teeth rotting cider.
Fortunately he grew up in an area where it was a wee bit rough around the edges.
If he had been born in the USA he would probably be dead of heart disease after eating himself to death.
Thank god Ricky is a Manc.
