Why Don't the Brits have a Lockett Bandwagon Already?

[GreenGetter]

This guy is your typical British bum taking the first step up in his career after 30+ fights. His resume is similar to Hatton's when he finally stepped up to world class competition after 40 fights, meaning he hasn't beat anyone in the top 50 yet. Where's the typical British bandwagon that follows fighters who make a career out of knocking out bums?

because on this occasion we realise he's getting KTFO. However, i'll continue with the hatton bandwagon and when he KO's malignaggi in novemeber, hes gonna take on mayweather at wembley in front of 100,000 and smash that litte ****er all over the place hahah

Initally this was a discussion about lower level British fighters. When you realised you couldn't win that you tried to change it to a discussion about British fighters at the 'world class' level. Now that you can't win that one you're attempting to argue that what really matters is whether or not there are British fighters in the top 10 of the 'most competitive' divisions, which has nothing at all to do with the original topic.

Is it worth me pointing out that Hatton would be ranked in the top 10 at 147 at Khan is ranked in the top 10 at 135? Probably not, as you'll randomly bring up the topic of why no UK-based flyweights are in the top 3 p4p or some such crap.

All of this because you couldn't accept the fact that watching a fighter is often the best way of assessing their ability.

If Collazo is not a top 10 welterweight, why would Hatton be?

Moron tactic #739: if you have already back-pedalled as far as is possible and still cannot find an argument that is supported by facts or official results, just pick a close fight and claim that the way you wish it had turned out is the way that it actually turned out. You do this with Reid-Calzaghe and Hatton-Collazo.

This doesn't strictly apply to you however, as you have found room to back-pedal an extra inch more; we're now no longer talking about how other people would rank Hatton(most would rate him top 10), but instead on to how you would rate him based upon how you scored a fight, even though your ranking and your scoring is at odds with that of most people.

Lockett has 30 fights under his belt?!?!?!? Wow, how typical. Nobody ever even ****ing heard of this guy and he's fought 30 times. Same ol ****, hide in your country until the end of your career, make a little money getting knocked out/thoroughly beaten and go home. What a joke

Lockett will KO Pavlik u heard it from me first

[Rkicards]

Don't worry, the english limey glory hunters will pretend they have ALWAYS supported Lockett if he beats Pavlik. Read in the archives Calzaghe pre Lacy, 90% of posts the english said Calzaghe was **** and then jumped on his Welsh **** after the Lacy fight.
I will always support Scottish/Welsh/Irish fighters here in the states just 'cause it really upsets the english limies when they win.

EXACTLY. Come June 8th, we'll have an influx of new posters claiming they have always been behind Lockett and he is an ATG. No different than what the Calzaghe "fans" are doing now.

No it doesn't?? What gives you that impression??

Well if he does beat him, I was right just like Calzaghe over Lacy. Pavlik is there to be exposed and Lockett couldn't have any better sparring that he does at Newbridge there will be a shock I tell yee!

Well it's exactly what happened on this board with Calzaghe pre Lacy. The english limies were saying Calzaghe was not even British, just some Welsh **** fighter. Then after the fight the board was filled with posts of Calzaghe best british boxer, even pathetically claiming Calzaghe was English now not Welsh.
The limies will repeat this if Lockett wins.
