FAO: Americans

[Kris Silver]

Watched the Hatton fight with some fellow Brits in Sydney, and it was all pretty cool, I think perhaps some are ****ier in certain environments, it's mostly big guy talk, not representative of the majority.

Before that the two friends had been in NY and also got some attention with they're accents. I've been to the US a few times, a common thing said, is that yanks can be in sincerely amiable, happy. Obviously I found that to be true in Disney Land but aside from that I'm not sure. Brits on the other hand are often too moody.

I reckon the Ozzies have a nice in between, which is why having been back for a month, I'm considering heading back to Melbourne, especially when there's hotties sparring in the park

Australians are the best.

What is the general perception of British boxing, and indeed British people, over there in the United States?

I have always loved watching American boxers as, overall, they seem far more attack minded than boxers from the rest of the world.

I also love the American people because out of the literally hundreds of Americans that I have met, I have never met an American that was remotely unfriendly, or arrogant, or unhelpful.

Thanks for bowing down to your rightful conquerors and masters, America and it's wonderful people

I wish all us British were ****ing bum boys.

Then I could have all the women to myself.

As it is, I struggle badly. haha

Most American boxing fans, and I don't know that many, would say the British overhype their fighters a bit b/c of the size of the country. The only bad things I've heard about Brits are the common stereotypes: bad teeth and dry humor, maybe a little snotty. But when it comes down to it any American with half a brain appreciates Britain because of our history and knows they are our best ally hands down. Besides Canada(minus Quebec), I think Brit culture holds the most similarities mostly in shared principles and belief systems.

What's the deal with European men dressing so metrosexual or in my mind gay looking. I think it's more French, Spanish, and Italian but overall it seems like they try to hard. Another thing I've noticed is that Euro men have much more feminine mannerisms than American/Aussie guys. These are generalizations and I'm not trying to rile anyone up. Feel free to voice your opinion on our dressing/mannerisms.
