    I've claimed Mayweather and his fans were dumb in the VERY SAME THREAD.

    So, who was I being biased for?
    the trouble with that thread is that even though the two biggest pay per views this year both involved floyd, nobody was ready to attribute floyd as a draw even as a villain, the idea that hatton is a draw here in america outside of his UK based fans is laughable, between the people who wanna see floyd lose, and the people who *gasp* actually like him, and between the people who are just interested in a big fight, its impossible to know who of those 850k were ordering the fight for.

    I mean, in my real life experiance out here in oakland, its all mayweather, but it dont take a genius to figure out why.

      I get what you mean. And I think they are both draws. I don't see why it should be one or the other. It's called "business sense."

      When TWO fighters are good apart, but GREAT together, you match them together. Hence the reason big fights happen.

        Thank You Benny.. You do indeed make me look bad with such a Post...

        And being a Canadian.. I honestly have no problems with MY Lovely neighbors to the south..

        But There are those on this board who do whatever they can to keep the Opinion that Americans are nothing but uneducated Buffoons alive and well..

        In reality I am well aware of the Debt The world owes America In general..
        For all the Good things we have that are a result of American Innovation and research

        Not my intention to make you look bad. A bit of teasing isn't so bad. If it is generally hate, then it's a different story, but I wasn't getting that impression.

        For the "Americans" that are making US look bad, well, it's a human problem and not so much a country problem. I cannot help we can create George Bush and Saint Angelina Jolie from the same soil.

        I'm first for "America" the "idea", followed by America the country, which is why I'm for continued immigration, understanding of the rest of the world, evolving, etc.

        And Lastly, I wouldn't say that to loud, "I am well aware of the Debt The world owes America In general". It's good to hear, but it should be put in a way that is only a simple pat on the back, followed by a kick in the ass to keep US on track.




        Oh, how can I forget, my fellow "American", the Austrian Oak, ARNOLD.

          Because there will always be guys like you, who would rather be found dead than found pulling for any fighter with a skin-tone darker than their own?

          That's probably why.
