      yes but the question is/was:

      is their actually one brit with a legitimate world title at the moment? Legitimate being of course one of the top three WBC/WBA/IBF?

            Haye (81 world rank) going in against Kelly? (22) Give the guy all the credit for daring to try.

            Though I made quite a packet on The Cat. "Do you not understand my function?"

              well isn't this unfortunate..........well let's hope that clinton woods will become a legitimate champ in his 4th attempt, and it pays to mention his 3rd vacant title attempt.......i am sure you agree with me on the vacant title one.

                Most of those fighters are promoted by frank warren and as a result they dont get that big fight they need so we can see how good they really are (with exception of hatton who has eventually got tyszu)

                  I wish there were more brits fighting for world titles, i think Frank Warren is over protective with his fighters. Mick Hennesay has done the right thing by co promoting both Witter & Foch with Oscar. They should both get big fights in america now.

                    When the best British fighters like Calzaghe & Hatton grow a pair perhaps people will respect British fighters more. I'm English and I couldn't give a **** about either of them and their fraudulent paper titles. I've got a lot of respect for Michael Brodie and Carl Thompson on that p4p list though.

                    As for why Americans "hate on" British fighters and not other racial and ethnic groups. It's like in Hollywood, how the bad guy is always a white Englishman/conservative/christian/red neck southerener/corporate suit. It's thanks to political correctness the only groups left that you can say anything remotely bad about are: whites/***s/christians/*************/heterosexuals/rednecks.
                    Thanks ********!
