    We'll have 3 world champions in 6 weeks after Khan and Witter win.
    Currently thats true. The Yanks are underachieving and we've been overachieving based on the relative size of each country. Boxing isnt nearly as big a sport over here either.

      With the money you've spent, you've underachieved in Europe. You should win the Premiership pretty much every year but Fergie has often been exposed in Europe.
      This is football man....Look how much money Chelsea have spent...Barca...fkin ell Real Madrid above all!!!

      We are in the top 2 best in the world....that is no way overrated.....especially when you are playing in the champions league finals etc where its 1 shot win or lose.... we were unbeaten in the champs league for 2 years....i dont see how thts overrated...weve got some of the most amazing players in the world and a young team that people seem to overlook....

      Anyway enough of the football on the boxing forums...we've said our bits

          Barca had something like 7 homegrown (i.e free) players in their team in the final. Madrid have won 9 CLs so I think they've done alright.

          United are good at trampling on the small teams but if you look at your record against the other top 3 in the Prem, it aint great. And in Europe, you've been outplayed by most of the very top teams.

          Lol........i like mixing in a little bit of footy banter and Im still bitter about the hiding you gave us at The Emirates...... This thread is a worhtless piece of turd anyway, no harm.

            Right then, the state of Florida alone is bigger than the U.K

            So quite OBVIOUSLY- the U.K has done a better job producing top quality fighters over recent years.

            Can ya not see what i mean or are ya just an idiot?

                    I see what you mean to an extent. Problem is you never said "as of recent the U.K. is" you said "The U.K. does a better job" which is ludicrous.

                    The other problem is that the U.K. isn't really throwing out champs. It's got some talented fighters but real quick lets take a look...

                    UK - Hatton, Haye, Froch, Calzaghe

                    USA - Jones Jr., Mayweather, Toney, Cotto (PR is USA owned), Mosley, Williams, De La Hoya, Judah, Hopkins, Pavlik, Dawson, Holyfield, Tarver, Berto...


                    So while I understand that your argument is something along the lines of Mile for Mile the U.K. puts out more champs, which might be true right now, but seeing as I don't have a map and a TI-85, nor the will to even attempt to figure it out, we'll just go ahead and say that, Mile for Mile, Puerto Rico wins.
