    That's one of the points am trying to get across.

    One of my favorite fighters, David Haye gets ridiculed because he's from England. 'British hypejob' 'overrated', He's from Britain after all, so he must be, Right?

    This **** is always about what country you're from.

        Never mind the fact, that Europe isn't actually a country.

          I hear you. I'm from Ghana so, naturally, I love every fighter from there.

          But making a Ghana vs. USA or Ghana vs. UK thread...?

          WTF?

              Also, I would like to know why Americans think british fighters have to prove them selves by fighting in america or some other foreign country. why dont american fighters come over to britain or europeto prove themselves?

              i think theyve seen the highlights to calzaghe-lacy too many times.

                Good to see Dimitrenko in your sig, Chunk.

                I think if there's a unification fight between Pavlik and Abraham, the US will lose two more titles.

                  American = 300 Million
                  Europe = 730 million

                  Europe =

                  difference is Boxing is no where near as popular in Europe as it is in America ask the average man on the street from Britain who is the HW champ he will not have a clue and Britain is probably more clue

                  you must be insecure to **** Flawless if you aint brining up race its nationality what are you trying to prove im sure their are plenty of guys from Europe who would dust you down in 1 round and you are a native of the US so what are you actually proving cause it aint that American people are more capable than any one else

                  like i always say in all sports its about exposure of that particular sport the money you put into the sport training methods ,coaches etc so quit pretending you are better than the rest of us cause you aint

                    More like Dawson take 2 titles away from those Europeans. Bradley win more titles as well at 140. Williams will take Margarito and Clotteys belts soon. Taylor will win a title at 168 after lacy fight.
