    Puerto Rico produces much better fighters than the UK and they're not as big as the UK. Just face it, you produce trash fighters...

        COme on man, all Nations over hype their fighters to some degrees. Let's not target the British here specifically.

          Puerto Rico is a third world country where people have no jobs and have nothing better to do. Seriously, it's like Brazil....either you become a good footballer or you live in poverty for the rest of your life.

            You're right to some extent.

                i'm english/british and i'd have to say that as a nation we do generally overrate our fighters

                (overrate our national football team too)

                  It's not a matter of Jeff Lacy being overrated. It was a matter of no one giving Calzaghe any chance even against an average American fighter because he's from the land of bums in Europe...

                      what fight were u watching
