    That is just your opinion, but how many Undisputed World Champions have they had since Joe Calzaghe, huh?

        I'd carry on but I can't be arsed....
        you left out 2 of the greatest , you tart.

        jimmy wilde and bob fitzsimmons.

        a welshman and a cornishman.

        the celtics know how to fight!

        a scot could be champ too but they need to develop headgear that can hold beer bottles on the sides.

            Fact is, the American public know the good US fighters and the British public know the good British fighters.

            Where the difference lies however is that many of the ignorant fat yanks who don't know of the British world champions will automatically assume they're crap and will throw their toys out of the pram when they find out this isn't the case, whereas British people have more manners than that.
            oh yeah, more manners...is that why they boo the american national anthem?

              I think Hamed could of been if he had regrouped after the MAB loss, he had the talent to imo. KT is considered elite and i dont see what was so great about his reign to be considered an elite fighter, he never beat an elite fighter imo.

              Lewis was obviously elite and i guess you could say Calzaghe was fringe elite, not on the level of a Jones, Mayweather, Hopkins(prime) but slightly below that, comparable to a Winky, DLH etc, on that kinda level.

                  Britain is a tiny island no where near the size of Illinois.

                  it is pathetic in size and worthless.

                  not even worth talking about.

                  they don't even have an army these days.
