    Calzaghe's fought some decent fighters.

    Reid, Woodhall, Eubank, Mitchell were all genuine world champions, he's also fought a lot of tough fighters too. Give him the chance against Hopkins and we'll see a beating.

    I'm not bais to any nation, i watch every fight with an open mind and i cant see why the UK gets so much ****. They have some very good fighers who should be shown a some respect before you can expect them to fight in the US.

      The fact remains that I've NEVER seen a race get as much stick on this forum as the British. You'd NEVER get a thread from someone who disliked Barrera saying "Mexican fighters suck". Hell, even Ruiz doesn't inspire anti-Puerto Rican rants.

        alzaghe has fought and beaten some decent fighters. So has Hatton as well. I think if you look at Eastman going 12 rounds with Hopkins, and winning a few rounds too, this is much more than Tito is capable of doing with Hopkins. Also, Danny Williams lasted 8 rounds with Klit, Kirk Johnson, that great American heavy lasted less than two!

          People only hate on the brits when people like Anorak practically worship any british fighter involved in a high profile fight. As well as when they act semi-delusional when that british fighter loses. & a little bit of

                Johnson's from Canada, but i totally agree with everything else.

                I dont mind people giving a bit of abuse to the UK fighter(some is funny) but its a total lack of respect by some members. it really sucks ass when someone is so bias toward the US they consider everyone who doesnt fight there ****

                  Hatton should give Tsyzu a good fight but how about picking him as your first big test!!

                  Thats a massive task for anyone

                    I thought you weren't supposed to be debating with me, Godzhand? See, this is a topic I've been and done with with you. As one of the UK contingent on here, then hell yeah, I'm gonna post a positive thread about some UK fighter everyone's slating when 90% of them haven't even seen them fight.

                    I've just been checking some population stats - I didn't realise there were only three million Welsh people. That's pretty good going for Joe then, eh? Five million Scots and sixty million English.
