Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Josh Taylor's An Excellent Fighter; Probably 70 People At Tank's Fight Even Heard Of Him

He literally shitted on those that attended the fight. Is he saying they have no clue about boxing? Or is this his way of dismissing another threat?

Both. All of the above

Could it be that Tanks fans are ****** and probably can't even put Scotland on a map?

Tank's fans couldn't ****ing spot Canada on a map.

That's because Stank's fanbase are imbecile lowlife drug addicts.

It's racist posts like this that bring this website down.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

They can’t even spot their own state on a map.

Anyone that's watched US late nite tv knows this applies to most of the country and not any one sub group. Classic examples, 1/3 of 8th grade student said that Canada was a dictatorship or the late nite street interviews about Canada...the best was the person trying to argue that Korea was on the east coast close to ******ia or something..

I'm sure many other countries would do just as bad since there is an alarming number of people saying vaccines have microchips to track them.. Isotopes from old salelites that crashed long ago gave that option, well at least on paper decades ago?! Oh and that cell phone LOL...

It's racist to call an idiot an idiot?

GRJ most likely outta that 3. Decent fight on paper. In reality Davis walks through him though imo.

Maybe at 135, but not at 130!

Either one of those guys will definitely help his legacy and still be a big money fight

No Doubt! Mikey would bring the most $$$

Quote: “You know, I don’t who we gonna fight next,” Ellerbe said. “I don’t know, but it’ll be somebody who’s good, that’s for sure. It needs to be somebody who’s a top guy.”

Translation: We sure as hell aren't going to commit to fighting Josh Taylor, because we don't know if Tank can handle that smoke. Instead, we'll use the excuse that Taylor isn't much of a draw in the US, unlike the world-renowned Mario Barrios.

Other half and I have spoken about it at length. What folks back in the U.K. don’t fully understand is there is a massive difference in culture between the USA and the U.K. there is far more to a culture than merely the language. Peeps back in the U.K., particular sports fans, feel passionate about a rivalry with the USA when it comes to boxing. Americans don’t really care for European football because Americans have North American (USA and Canada) football which is the most popular American sport. Americans have basketball of whixh most brits are too small to play. Americans have baseball, and rounders would be the equivalent but it’s not a popular televised league sport on the level of a MLB. Boxing is literally the only means that the British sports fan can see competition with the USA. This sense of rivalry while very important to the British sports fan is non-existent with the American sports fans. It just does t exist. American boxing fans are used to having foreign fighters compete in the USA. It’s just an odd cultural dichotomy….yanks don’t think about the Brits and brits can be very cross about that.
you can see that there is a heavy degree of resentment that the fans in above comments have towards a perceived insult to Josh Taylor. “Tank and Ellerbe MUST bow down to Taylor”….

To say there is no rivalry in US is nonsense. In boxing there are fan rivalries between African Americans and Latinos and there are sub divisions in Latino rivalries. Brits do take rivalry serious but that's because their fighters are constantly written off and any time they do have the genuine article they are then dismissed as average. As where Americans fighters of quality are given their due praise and respect by brits generally speaking.

Only 20 people knew of Barrios & only 20 people knew he had a Fake paper WBA title. Ellerbe is full of Dog Crap

Predictable elerbe drivel.
first ding, in Scotland and most of the uk, everyone knows who josh Taylor is.
second ding, he’s not from “the good ole USA “ he’s from Scotland.
last ding, josh Taylor would fill Wembley with 80,000 fans (paying fans) + ppv extras so......mr money man, why take another fight?
they only like money and think “America” is the only place on this entire planet where people are so they stay there.
