American boxing fans tend to be negative towards European fighters because Europeans tend to be fighter fans instead of boxing fans...
meaning they tend to be bias, blind, and ignorant.
That's really all there is to it...Comment

Americans are typically so negative about european fighters for a few reasons.
1. Euros - typically fight a very boring and robotic style. No kind of swagger, movement, rythym or anything. (not all of them are like this but traditionally it has been this way.
2. Watching past fights with European robots was often like watching paint dry. Have you ever seen an old western movie with fights between the cowboys? You hit me once then I hit you once, you hit me once then I hit you once, until someone drops. Taken right from the euro-fight playbook.
3. There are some Europeans who have been able to suceed and can fight (Somewhat) for example Joe calzaghe, however many are negative about him due to the fact that many of his wins were against americans who were well past their prime. (perhaps he would have still won but if he had fought Hopkins, Jones and others when they were young things may have been quite different. (This may not have been his fault though but inevitably the fights didnt happen in their primes.)
4. Often in Europe the refs seems to be watching something other than the fight. Sometimes fighters can go inside and hold, hit, pull out a wrench or whatever and it doesnt sit well here. (Often in America the judging is ****ty but the reffing is ok (most times)
5. Euro-fighters are often hyped up and everyone thinks they are destroyers that can destroy american fighters without even trying. (Fighting in europe against other robots is one thing, and when you walk through all of them thats great, but just because you can do that in Europe it is different when you fight in the states against guys who can move and now how to actually dodge a punch, and can punch out of turn!) when that Euro-fighter that has been so worshipped and doled on by reporters and everyone comes to the states and cannot even last a round against the top notch american fighters then it makes us here in the states feel that Euros are not good fighters. (Send us your best to get demolished in no time and you were saying he was soo good for what reason???)
Dont take this as me saying that Europeans have not produced good fighters just giving you the reasonings.Last edited by Riptor; 07-30-2009, 06:13 PM.Comment
