    America isn't underrating England's fighters

    Floyd Senior on how Hatton fought against Mayweather

    "yeah, yeah, yeah! He was smothering his punches and my son's punches too. If you notice, even when my son stopped him, it wasn't an in-close shot. my son was off of where he could get a solid shot off. He wasn't smothering him. That was the biggest thing he had going for him man, grabbing and trying to survive. He wasn't in the same caliber as Lil Floyd in no kind of way. I don't know why...well, I guess thats the best England had and that let's you know England ain't got ****! It was plain to see, Stevie Wonder could have seen how that was going to go down. I was really surprised that Cortez let him fight that way. I was surprised he was letting him hold like that. Lil Floyd did what he was supposed to. The whole thing is man, I think everybody got a chance to see Hatton and what he is all about and there it is."

    Take into account that he doesn't like his son very much and he bashes his son in this interview about going into the MMA and he actually said "Lil Floyd about to get his ass tore up man".

    The Americans aren't underrating UK's fighters. They are being put in their place and the English don't like it. But like it or not, its the truth. Hatton was the best fighter UK had to offer before Mayweather exposed him, now, Calzaghe is the best fighter the UK has to offer. If I had said that hatton isn't all that and Mayweather is gonna dominate him before that fight, I would've been told that I'm underrating him cuz I hate the UK fighters(even though I'm canadian).

      Silly Europeans not wanting to come over here and fight and get robbed in decisions like Holyfield/Lewis I, DLH/Sturm, Casamayor/Santa Cruz, etc, etc, etc. But someone like Floyd can fight over here his whole life, with the homecourt advantage and get gift decisions like the Castillo I fight and claim he is the GOAT.

            this is against crazy Calzaghe fans specifically, who take it personally when something is said about him. They take it as an attack against their country instead of just a plain old assessment of one fighter. I don't care about race, nationality or anything when it comes to judging a fighter from my point of view. But the English take it personally. The English overrate their fighters. And who cares if mayweather fights only in the states, thats different. Theres better competition here. If there was better competition in England, than Floyd should be fighting in England. You don't prove you're the best by playing in NFL Europe, you prove you're the best by playing in the NFL.

                A lot of overhyped Americans were put in their place by British fighters too
                don't forget that.
