Great Britain vs USA the facts.

[ShocKWave]

yea sure...fencing and running > boxing .

Running is bigger than boxing, fencing isn't.

[Weebler I]

A lot has to do with training and opportunities.

The US has far better Gyms and trainers.

The US has a better history of boxing and maybe more poverty and ******'s.

LOL

true though

Despite that, we still have great boxers. Froch, Haye, Khan, Hatton, Mitchell, DeGale, Brook and of course, MattHatt.

Let's not forget the US fighters are likely all on something, very unscrupulous lot they are, look at Carl Lewis, Marion Jones, Roy Jones, Shane Mosley. Fraud superstars.

I tend not to like White Brits, but I don't mind Joe Calzaghe.

Not many guys have been World Champion for well over a decade and retired undefeated. Also, for him to unify his division, then go and win a World title at Light-Heavyweight against the great Bernard Hopkins (long before Bernard destroyed Kelly Pavlik) is kinda impressive.

Brian Viloria is Hawaiian, so he's American. He's the IBF 108 lb. champ.

[Dynamite Kid]

Britain produces fighters just not elite or technically sound fighters.

Its to do with training techniques and physicy of British people, British people sacrifice technique and intelligence for endevour, tenacity whether its Football or Boxing.

Most British fighters have zero defence, fight with a lack of intelligence and are prominently aggressive fighters, even Calzaghe who is considered by many the best British fighter lacked defense and was all about offence/workrate.

huh? you do know those two fights happened the same year... I've always hated Calzaghe but then I grew to like him... And I always hoped he'd come back and whoop Carl Froch's ass... The only critisizm ive said about Calzaghe is that he never fought in America all those years he was champion... IMO if you're a champion then you havnt proved **** until you come and fight the american champs... Ane then he came and fought two 40 year old americans and called it a day... but Calzaghe wasnt young him self so i cant blame him i guess

So what are you then? Apart from an obvious alt that is!

As a proud Brit who adores both Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton, I would like to see Hatton win this one, but I cannot see it.

Pacquiao is too relentless and too quick for anyone, even Hatton.

I don't like Brits, so I'm not one to stick up for 'em, but this is bull****.

Just because this old whore brings a lot of tourism into the United Kingdom means jack ****.

Also, what have her family ever done for America? They ain't never fought for us in Afghanistan. None of them have

I must admit that i enjoyed this speech from the woman tho.

A non-White, British friend of mine from England (he is biracial like David Haye) said that the anti-Black and anti-Asian racism in England is horrendous.

Apparently they have this thing called 'positive discrimination' whereby Asian ******s are not allowed to even apply for certain top jobs.

It's disgusting.

Every day of his life Khan is probably attacked and racially abused so I don't blame him for leaving UK.

You guys are re**** if all you are going to debate is title holders. What about all the world class fighters America has but they don't have titles because other Americas have the belt. Look up and down 175, 147, or 140 there are guys that would be on top but they can't break through because it's controlled by Dawson, Mayweather/Shane, or Bradley. Secondly, the whole population debate is garbage in my book. Just because you have a high population does not mean you are going to have elite boxers(china v japan for instance). The best way to compare is head to head and when you have a world class fighter from the UK he usually loses to a world class fighter from America. I don't mean to offend my U.K. fans but facts are facts, you just can't compare the two nations.

recently the uk fighters have bean winning

calzaghe-jones/hopkins/lacy
hatton-malignaggi
haye-barret
khan-salita
froch-taylor/dirrell etc etc

[BritishFightFan]

It is truly ludicrous to compare the UK to the USA. You could fit around two or three of my nation in your state of Montana. Your country is bigger than my continent!

Also, our population is no where near a sixth of the size of yours, even though our nation is ridiculously densely populated nowadays.

You Yanks win hands down.

[Earl-Hickey]

There is no comparrison, you cannot compare them because it's completley different scales.
