Whats the beef between US and British fight fans????

[freedom213]

There always seems to be some kinda beef, banter, straight up hatred and my honest opinion it seems like a lot of envy from Brits,, typically. Usually there seems to be some innuendo about Americans thinking American fighters are automatically superior to europeans.

Let me give you my "American" opinion: Historically and in modern times American fighters have been superior to British fighters, pretty much a fact but that doesnt come with disrepect to those British fighters, that doesnt mean there werent periods in history that British fighters didnt dominate weight classes. Im sure I'll catch some red for this but thats OK I just wanna get it out there up front to show how ridiculous it is.

I like England and have met several british guys who were very cool Im just tired of the several Brits on here that wanna talk all their **** and get all defensive anytime someone thinks so and so will beat a british fighter. these guys wanna throw out the American bias crap time and time again.

The reason, basically is what you describe. Americans on these boards are incapable of admitting when a non-US fighter is good. Not all, but some.

Hamed was good with his akward style and power. Calzaghes ok, if you like slappers. There must be one or two more guys over there that can fight............Rockin'

I love british people I have british relatives. But british fight fans are different-I mean even throughout history - look at the Hagler minter fight.

I'm American and I think Joe is sick as hell. I also thought Nigel Benn's win over McClellan was one of the most amazing victories in history.

I say that we count up the wins and loses in title fights between u.s guys and the uk guys. Go way back in time and start counting. Going past to present its a blow out.

Ok then lets go from the fifties to now, ooops still a blow out.

Maybe from the 90's to the present, its closer but Id still say the us comes out on top.

The brits can fight, the europeans can fight and ofcourse the us can fight. 'nough said. But it does seem very very tough to get a fair nod from the judges when fighting in the uk or europe................Rockin'
