    No sense of humor for me, no sense of boxing for you.

    I'm a boxing fan. You're a European boxing fan.

    I recognize Kessler as a good fighter. You recognize him as a God fighter.

    Yep.

      Give me a break, half of the Americans on this site still doubted the hell out of Jermain Taylor when he was undefeated.

      and what about someone like Antonio Tarver? he has wins over Roy Jones, Clinton Woods and Glen Johnson, but no Americans give a damn about him, and generally think that he was in the right place at the right time against Roy Jones.

      even bring up guys like Bradley and Sergio Mora. theyre 'undefeated champions', but no one in America gives a damn about them really.

      and if you want to bring up Calzaghe, then just look at Hopkins. they have similiar careers, and half the Americans think that Bernard's Middleweight defences are weak, and that Hopkins preyed on 'smaller fighters' and was 'champ of a weak division' almost his whole career.

          They don't get it.

          I mean, if Mikkel Kessler was American we probably wouldnt give two ****s about him either...

          But I guess if you think Anthony Mundine is a great fighter than yeah, Kessler is the man.

          Pure and utter NONSENSE.

              If guys like Calzaghe, Kessler and Abraham were American, there would not be enough lube left in all 50 States.

              Please stop saying they are 'unproven', 'bums' or whatever else it is you say. You are talking crap.
              Sad to say this is true for a lot of Yank boxing fans. Not all.....but the majority Ive encountered dont care unless they're American or have beaten an American.

                You're going to find difficulty locating fans outside of England who know who Froch is.

                    Only Froch fans and supporters are sounding the bell that "Froch is being ducked." If that's the case, isn't Calzaghe also ducking Froch?
