Why do Americans hate Haye + any other UK fighter

[Rkicards]

English boxers have got a worldwide reputation of being arrogant over hyped bums. That is why they're generally hated, the last big example being the Hatton fiasco, most bull**** hype for a fighter in modern times. (This does not including the non english boxers like Calzaghe and Collins).

I have four American friends and I literallly thank God for them every day because they are always there for me and they help me out so often.

Americans are the greatest and most friendliest people on this Earth.

Also, the Americans that I know only have truly great things to say about British fighters such as Ricky Hatton, Lennox Lewis, Joe Calzaghe and David Haye.

Maybe I'm dense but are you joking here?

Well said. I like Fatton b/c he has a good personality. Joe C is the most overrated fighter around, I have a burning hate for him. Haven't seen too many Khan fights, he's a towelhead so he can be chalked.

You live in a trailer and eat roadkill don't you?

On topic: it's been well said already. Some British fans overrate our talent and irritate a lot of people. I will always passionately defend Calzaghe, who is just about the only truly World class British fighter and a man unfairly hated on for things he couldn't really control; but generally I know we have a habit of overrating our boxers. I try not to, but I suppose we all occasionally overrate. I fear I may have done with Haye, but the guy is exciting to watch and has a real chance.

I am not joking at all.

I love American people and I have only ever met friendly Americans.

This forum surprises me at times.

Since when did us Brits hate the Yanks?

can we get confirmation on that? is that really true? is Haye really a ***?

Arrggg

It isn't true. Ricky made it up. Check Hayes *******. He is straight

You small ****ed *****. Hilarious. Still haven't defined a yank yet have you?

Your signature, like you is pathetic.

Define a Yank? Seriously? You've never heard that term before, no?

Why do you keep going on about my signature? Touched a nerve obviously. The truth is uncomfortable for some people I guess.

Interacting online is a little different. In real life most Americans are friendly and don't mind stopping to help you with directions etc. The south is the friendliest part of the country followed by the midwest IMO.

i dont overate British fighters at all matter of fact i dont overate any fighter cause i know at this level the difference between winning and losing is minimal ,and if u are ****** enough to overlook that and **** on about a particular fighter like he is the best fighter ever then u will make yourself sound like an idiot when he loses

most of the British fans on this site are primarily fans of British fighters cause they are British not because they are anymore talented than guys from outside of Britain which is dumb IMO

real Boxing fans enjoy Boxing regardless, its entertainment im sick of reiterating this point

No I've heard it before...just don't think you know what it means to us.

I liked a lot of Brit fighters. I think people perceived Lennox as arrogant forever until he kept knocking people out.

I like Haye too but he talks too much in interviews. He's got to learn to say things short and sweet and catchy not babble on.

In short, act like he's a killer and glare at the camera.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Ha ha ha.
