Are Brits the Least Knowledgeable Fans in Boxing?

[Nicky_Hatton]

WTF? look at your username??

What's that got to do with anything pal?

You can't tell me most of Hatton's bandwagon (God love them) are boxing fans, a large proportion are hatton fans!

Not trying to detract from them all, they're great.

Most Brits thought Hatton would beat Mayweather. Most Brits are impressed by Calzaghe's win over a 43-year-old Hopkins. Most Brits think Khan will fight a good fighter before his 30th fight. Most Brits think Haye is going to knock out everyone in the heavyweight division...

Seriously, these are the most delusional fools I have ever seen...

I knew Hatton was gonna get beat by Mayweather.

I knew Calzaghe would beat Hopkins but like everybody else I thought he would do it much more convincingly.

Khan has fought good fighters in Graham Earl and Gary St Clair. Khan has been working through the rankings I cant believe people still dont understand the way boxing works...

I know Haye is a much better boxer than anybody else in the heavyweight division. The only doubt I have is whether his chin can hold up.


Quit being a ***** and find something better to do than trying to wind people up.

Khan is heavily overrated and protected. When he comes to America watch him be exposed and it won’t be pretty. Just like poor Hatton.

I can't see what point you are making here Nick??

Are you classing yourself along with these fans who 'are the least knowledgable in boxing'?

I agree there's ton's of Hatton fans who don't normally watch boxing. But I think most brit boxing fans wouldn't call themselves Hatton fans or Calzaghe fans, just boxing fans.

I'd probably be inclined to agree if you said "The average Hatton fan were the least knowledgeable fan in boxing."

I don't think Brits in general are the most knowledgeable, just biased towards their own fighters.

Doesn't it feel good to post something honest that's not blinded by your usual bias?

No, but as someone has already said, the resurgence of british boxing especially with Hatton has brought with it a load of new 'fans' who are only interested in seeing the british fighters win, singing their praises incessantly.
But boxing is on a high here at the moment, and we have 3 world champions, which is as many as the US has, and many good youngsters and prospects.

And I can only think of one or two limeys on here that can compete with Sin for bad threadmaking.

Why is this guy allowed to post here?, he needs to get himself a life, what a sad ****.

Over rated? He was an olympic silver medalist at 17 and since then everybody got behind him, that's all. People who dont have a clue about boxing in this coutry watch Khan (which is actually a good thing) and then come to the conclusion that hes the best fighter ever after watching him knock someone out. They're the people that over rate him, not the real British boxing fans who just support him.

A lot of Khan's exposure also comes from the fact hes a good, patriotic role model for British ****** kids (with all the **** that goes on here). Thats probably why he has so many sponsor deals and that.

$in how old are you?

If you are over the age of 10, I feel sorry for you.

If you are over the age of 20, whats it still like to be a ******?

If you are over the age of 30, how is your mums basement? and are you still making love to her?

If you are 40 and above, well, kill yourself.

Interesting.

Sin still asks ridiculous questions, but he no longer puts a poll on his thread to get a quantitative response to the questions that he asks.

Perhaps this is because all his polls ever served to prove was that Sin is completely in the minority with his opinions.

Did you find that discredited your trolling a little bit mate?
