    You could be onto something here. Opponents are given less chance to get back into the fight from a losing position against the A side.

    Okay so big names aren't used to a dogfight, proper scraps against lesser opposition. But what if they've never tasted defeat? They're even less prepared because they never had to come back after being seriously hurt a la Gatti, Chico Corales etc

      I think thats a pretty "fair" conclusion for there.. but in USA we either raise our kids exactly like that...or we abandon them to figure **** out on there own fairly early... so not sure what the answer is.. Were basically talking about entirely different styles of fighting tho to a large degree?

            Josh Taylor and Jose Ramirez are getting it on in 2 weeks, will taylor be the next UK victim to fold up on US Soil?
            Taylor wins easily… he’s levels above Ramirez.

            Just waiting on him for my acca. Had Parker and Canelo by KO.

              Prograis is a far better fighter than Ramirez IMO.

                Yup..its an absolute CANCER ... and lets be honest... Entertainment/ Sports Entertainment...all of them..have effectively abandoned true competitions in many senses and adopted this "Private Membership Club" for people in the clique... If your part of the right gym, part of the right team, part of...part of... society gets to see you.. while very rich talent not in that clique is left out.. Its that way in Hollywood.. in sports...all of them... *Popularity is key component to what we see and get entertained by these days yes even in sports... and even that (popualrity) is an illusion... Followers and "internet traffic" can be bought and paid for if you have real investors... The addition to online ******** will also play a huge future role in what we see in this sport.. and others... Not that it hanst always been there in other parts of the world.. But NOW that we Americans have accepted it.. its about to get REAL STINKY around here... wait and see... It wont matter in say 6 years when the Sauds and UAE have bought up literally every sport and top promotions and were still paying for PPV's while being hosted in those countrys.. Writings on the wall allready... These sports are fixing to leave us for bigger margins built by fake kingdoms..Its a guarantee

                  need rhythm like the brothas and latinos.

                  black Brits have flavor in their food and box well: Lennox, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, and even Joshua

                  as for Fury he’s Irish and a bit off in the head crazy. Irish stereotyped as the fighters of Western Europe
                  AJ clearly quit against Ruiz, his Brit-Quit side came out in that one.

                    When your raised on tea and crumpets and eat beans for breakfast when the tough gets going you take the easy way out like Billy Hoe.

                      North AMerican style(s) of boxing are SOOO different than European style... with that comes pressure from judges and analysts to somewhat make that transition when fights happen in US... Not at all saying any dirty tactics.. at all.. Both styles are beautiful... But European (British) style boxing favors more of the "ammateur rank style"... hitting/ not getting hit ...then they come and face our style and its MUCH different...

                      Class example... Prince Naseem years back.. what 30-0 they were painting him as the "Floyd Mayweather" of that current time period.. One thing.. he had NEVER fought away from Europe or in AMerica... he got his ass completely tore up when he did..and after a return fight soon retired.... There is a LONG history of these examples...

                      Myself I would love to see the sport invest more in Japan's boxing scene... and ultimately see matchups of Mexican fighters and quality Japanese fighters.... I think thats a VERY untapped market place and could be huge
                      How does North American boxing differ? I know Mexican style as they call it, is the walk forward high pressure style, which I love to watch personallly. Call me a casual, but I like to see those highlight reel KOs which is why I like Wilder so much.
