What has this forum come to?!

I have to seriously applaud Cleg and T97's, and Queens latest posts.
I'm afraid I find there to be way more yanks bashing Brits, but this can be accounted for by population ratio largely. So many people either forget, worse don't consider this. The US has a population of 300, the UK 1/5 of that at 60 million.
So logically there's going to be a 5th more American boxers at the top level, 5th more medals, and a 5th more yanks bashing the UK, than vice versa.
Now, considering this, I'm afraid there's still slightly more yanks aimlessly bashing brits and being very nationalistic. Over the past month alone, theres been more than a 5th more yanks bashing brits, and yank threads bashing brits.
It's a shame, and by no means does it speak of the majority whom are good, decent, educated, open minded, fair people. Some let it down and paint a bad picture, not all. So don't think it's all, and don't respond with the same back because it's not the sentiments of the majority.
I think a lot of people think the brits are worse often, because the minority whom are so anti brit fighters, which they logically see around more given the ratio, really are rubbed up the wrong way. It leads them, us, to fight back sometimes to strongly, and believe too many yanks think this way, America's best etc. It's bound to offend and it spirals.Last edited by Kris Silver; 04-28-2008, 01:22 PM.Comment

Hypocrite.Its seems that I get pissed off reading posts from users as apposed to enjoying myself reading about the sport i love..
this forum is ridiculous.. its full of ****** **** riding (nut hugging whatever you call it) fans..
I've noticed an abundance of nationalistic fans from the UK lately bashing on Americans and our fighters, and praising theirs like there some sort of gods.. this is truly laughable. I'm not trying to make this a war of nations but I find it hilarious that some of you think your fighters are supreme beings..
IE. Joe Calzaghe wouldv've beaten Roy Jones at super middle. Roy ducked calzaghe..
-This is the biggest crock of **** I've seen.. Get the facts straight, Joe said it back in the day that he is a fan of Roy Jones and he know he couldn't beat him because hes too hard to hit. Someone actually has the quote in their signature. Please, all the limeys need to stop with this. If you think Joe would beat a prime Roy, your in denial. Calzaghe has the nerve to say that Jones was ducking him? He has memory loss
David Haye will crush Wlad!
-I'm not a fan of either fighter but lets be serious. Haye is talking wayy too much and hasn't accomplished much esp in the heavyweight division. Although I don't like Wlad, I expect him to hurt and put away Haye..
Can we stop being so ****ing biased and have constructive thoughts and opinions? Stop with all this Cotto Mayweather **** too.. Give it a rest..
I've been a member here longer than the majority of the users that post now and this forum is nothing like it used to be.
You yourself are biased.
It's a simple rule.
This is a forum.
Forums tend to have arguments.
If you don't agree witht the arguments, contradict them BUT DON'T WHINE.
What you are doing now is whine.
Did you get the moral lesson of the post?Comment
