All apologies to the UK.

55498 Ive done my own little research and i have to say Ive been a little to critical in arguments with guys from the UK. I understand more now than i did. Nevertheless, This does in no way mean i agree. I have found out that boxing is not as big in the UK as it is in the states. Very view people no much about the sport. I know people in the states who don't know who Bernard Hopkins is for example. Its the same in the UK just the US is huge in comparison. Europe is huge with 30 European fighters in the top ten,rated by Ring. In comparison to the US with 32. Not leaving out all the small countries and Islands surrounding. Panama has 6 in the top ten vs The UK's 7 . Panama only has a 2million population. So i can see the sport of boxing may not be that big and the UK guys don't care to get into the sport. VS In the states some get into fresh off the streets to keep from going to prison or going back to prison. I personally did it to keep from going back. The life and culture is a huge difference in comparison to the UK and US. I commend The UK for traveling out of there country to go thousands of miles to see Ricky Hatton fight in America. I don't think the US would go to Europe or the UK Africa or anywhere by the thousands to see a fighter .No matter who it is. With all this said, I must remind you that this doesn't make me agreeable , more so understanding. I will never be convinced Calzaghe is a great fighter until he beats Top Echelon guys. Credit to Hatton for doing this much recently. Final note: I see why now, that you root for your countryman. I would too. But, keep in mind that before you start ranting and raving, remember the guys have to fight top guys and beat some too and maybe loose to a few before you call the Man Great.

Dude stop making everything so nationalistic. You've been spouting abuse non stop the past week. Then you submit a thread saying sorry, but just go on about countries and there sizes like it's an education to everyone else, when it's mostly just you. Boxing isn't a country versus country game you know. So even now your wildly off the mark.

Don't publicly post threads admitting ignorance, when it was abuse, and in doing so show your just as ignorant as you were before.

I could be wrong but I get the impression a lot of the American fighters are reluctant to fight some of the top European fighters.

The irony of you accusing me of being dumb, when you've just publicly made it clear you didn't and still don't have a basic understanding of the globe you live in, and how world boxing works, is amazing.

Now you submit a thread like this about random stuff like your some kind of figure head we want to read about on a boxing forum after being very aggressive all week.

Grow up, and stop being such a self obsessed keyboard warrior. Take the skull and bullet posters down, tell your mum your sorry, and she might buy you an encyclopaedia, as evidently you need it along with a book of etiquette.
