American Heavyweights are "gutless, talentless cowards"

I heard "at the moment".

They were overall pretty biased against both Wlad and Thomspon.

But the country that spawned Audley Harrison should just know better.

He meant right now, even compared today's heavyweights to the heavyweights of the past era's.

I don't know if I agree with that but it's true that the American heavyweights are not very competitive these days.

They have no better heavyweights than the US.

At least 12 of our American heavyweights would KO their best David Haye, for example Arreola, Barrett, Chambers and Walker. I think even Rahman or Toney will defeat him.

Wait and see.

I know,but to say a fighter who was at least on even grounds for some of the early rounds is a "gutless coward" is foolish and wrong.

It's not like Thompson did a 'Ray Austin' but he wasn't exactly being a 'Joe Frazier' either.

Thompson took a solid beating, standing up to Klitschko's shots better than most but he did give up late in the fight. It could've been his ankle because it seemed to me like he hurt himself at some point of the fight.
He was also behind on points and taking punishment without much to offer so I can't blame him.

You know this for a fact do you? Your blind hate for Haye overshadows any posts you have about him, so how can anyone take them seriously?

Buncey was talking about the current Yank heavyweights and was pretty spot on. Some of them have been disgraceful. Its getting boring watching Wlad knock them over one by one.
