The difference between Americans and Brits....

[squealpiggy]

I have lived IN Canada..The USA and The UK... I think I know what I am talking about...
I can assure you there is little difference...

I can also assure you That it is in fact your immature response that is moronic
and that your lack of Knowledge is what is embarrassing..
You cant even spell embarrass properley..

when you actaully venture out in the world and have a lived a little longer than 15 years.. then you can talk ok ???

I can't agree with you. There are many differences between US culture and British culture. They're not the huge obvious differences you find between, say, Japanese and Pakistani cultures or something but the differences are there. They are subtle but real.

A reporter for the newspaper I read in work today was in a Las Vegas casino playing a few hands of blackjack before he got ready to pack up and come home. Just over by the bar was a large crowd of Hatton fans, still signing songs such as "Theres only one Ricky Hatton" and "Walking in a Hatton wonderland". An american woman turned round to her husband and said something along the lines of "Why are those people still singing his name, he lost?"

If it happened the other way round, Mayweather would receive nothing but hate from his own countrymen, no matter how good he was/still is. Ricky has been praised constantly and, apart from the odd reporter saying he was outclassed, has had only good press. In America, if you lose you are pretty much nothing. In Britain, a lot judgement is reserved for how you accept that loss, and Ricky was nothing but pure class.

You're 100 % accurate. alot of people probably would've been happy too. In America everything is about race....if ur black u have to go for black, if ur white go for anybody who isn't black, if ur latino go for latino.....which is so ignorant but **** it thats how it is here.

Aside from contradicting yourself in your own post, you are failing to see the point.

Peoples attitudes in general are different. Talk to a US boxing fan, and they will more than likely say Hatton got exposed and should never have been in the same ring. Talk to a UK boxing fan and you will find it is not about who won, but the heart Hatton showed in coming forward, all the time. Do you know any other fighter who can get knocked down like that and still try to press the fight and come forward? In Britain he is respected because of the way he fought, the courage he showed and the way he took his first ever loss. In America he would be hated on for losing in the first place.
