Had Hatton and Calzaghe started thier careers in the U.S

[Fox McCloud]

I have no idea why fighting in America would have made them lose...

You don't think they could find comparable opponents in America as they fought in the UK?

Andre Berto is a world champion and has not fought a single fighter that would scare any champion in the sport, and he has never strayed from America.

It's about who your fight, not where.

Jeff Lacy was undefeated and his career was fought on on U.S soil

so

Right. So none of those people fought each other, yet Hatton would've had to fight all of them?

Does that really make sense to you?

Those are rather wide holes blown into this thread's arguments.

Dude, the nationalism is getting tiring. You sent Lacy who was the best at the time, he was "the next Tyson" and he was supposed to KO Joe in two rounds, but he got embarrassed and splattered. Many other American fighters would get dropped in the UK or Europe, it really depends who they are fighting. Kessler, for example, would embarrass many of the USA superstars.

Of course there are more quality fighters overall in the USA than in the UK, that's a given, seeing as there are more far people in the USA.

UK is about the size of Kansas, so considering this, it doesn't do too badly at all.

PS: I'm not from the UK, I just don't have blinkers on.

PPS: If Calzaghe only threw slaps, please tell us why Bernard didn't just walk through them and knock him out.

You my friend are probably one of the best posters on this board.

I'm from Kansas... is that true?

I know for a fact that the UK is MUCH bigger population-wise, but... geographically? That is very interesting.

Man Kansas sucks...

Hatton and Calzaghe are clearyly without argument two of the most overrated fighters boxings seen in a while.

yeah have to agree

hatton is way better than calzaghe though
