    Everything is fair in America, right?
    Typical non yank post... Assuming he is a yank. Many Americans/ non Americans can see crooked judging all of the world even in America. Way to generalise.

        Yea, but Winky only did fight outside the US twenty times. I think that was even worse than Bradley's agenda.lol

          Most of the biggest TV exposure and fights are in the US. And US fighters are wary of bein robbed on decisions overseas.

Winky Wright is another sad example. How can a fighter only leave his country twenty times? Sad, truly sad. Timothy Bradley only went over to obtain his belt from Witter in the UK because of Junior's sick father. The mental advantage was too much to pass up. I am sure there are more examples of American cowardess but I don't have the time to type it up.
              Winky Wright fought an outstanding number of fights outside of the states.How many did Junior Witter fight out of his? How many did Calzaghe fight outside of the UK? Not half as much.Does that make them cowards?
              The truth is,it doesn't matter-you are clutching at straws. Witter now and Witter then couldn't beat Bradley.I hear people bitching about "yanks" not traveling,and when they do-people just whinge anyways.

                I guess this thread is satire,but I can see why a lot of people don't like fighting abroad (eg Reid vs Ottke, Holyfield vs Valuev,etc).
