1st of all yes a lot of British fans do go over the top when it comes to rating our fighters not me by the way ,however to say the majority of them are arrogant u would have to have an met half a half of them u have 'nt even met a quarter of them so how can generalise that broadly about British Boxing fans,maybe the ones u have met u have found to be arrgoant but like i said u aint met that many so what are basing your opinion on

if i used your way of thinking i would feel the same way about American fight fans , America is the Mecca of Boxing ,u aint **** utill u have fought in America ,Hatton Calzaghe would'nt be undefeated if they had come up the ranks on the American circuit, they should prove themselves by fighting a top American LMFAO,We need a good American Heavyweight to bring some spark back to the division ,just some of the ingnorant * arrogant comments i have heard from US fans on these boards

see i could lablel American fight fans just as Arrogant probably more so ,if British fans are dillusional American fans are the ones who are Arrogant trust me

I don't give a damn about the whole America vs Britain thing, neither do I overrate American fighters because i'm not a hypocrite like you Brits. So you keep bringing up "Oh! oh! oh! but Americans are just as bad!" when it's irrelevant. If you must know, i'm not even American. Can you believe that? It's just that the Brit fans have annoyed me the most so I am in fact objective. You brits get away with your garbage, and everyone that trashes America is given good K. Well i'm trying to balance things here.

I have to when there are people here that say things like Joe "The Slap" Slapzaghe hits harder than Kessler and Pavlik. LOL.

The fact that you put one "slap" in his name should have been enough. Anything else is just repetition of theme. I don't care about US vs UK, but I do care about good nicknames.

Yeah. What about the signature though.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, recognized light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins held nothing back when talking about his April 19 showdown with WBA/WBO/WBC super middleweight champ Joe Calzaghe in Las Vegas. He also voiced his opinion on the British fans in general. [details]

I find that very funny coming from Hopkins.

Bernard Hopkins is the dirty old bastard that just wont die. He is one of the absolute last people in the world I would ever want to fight.

Has Hopkins ever heard of the abstract noun 'hypocrisy"?

[Guest]

excellent Hopkins, I love how you make Americans look bad. thanks. just piss off everyone and make Americans look like *******s. fantastic

He's just telling it like it is...

[hardmanbrit]

The British are arrogant?

Coming from someone like Hopkins that is somewhat ironic.

[typeone]

Take what Hopkins says with a pinch of salt...Hes like one of them mental women you see walking down the road talking to herself lol Hes funny though I give him that the old git!!! As the fight draws closer the Old git is trying to stir it up with the British and U.S Fans, That aint gonna happen Cos like Joe we got hes number along time ago.
