Would Paul Williams have been a big draw had he been British?

    British fans are very big on sport and very passionate, Boxing isn't even our biggest sport, I mean I don't know many hardcore fans outside of the Boxing gym I go to, I think I know 1... but British fans like to get behind there country, and show a lot of support, in practically any sport really.

    Pretty much any British fighter who is a world champion would have a good fan base... it just goes like that to be honest.

      Calzaghe wasn't a star until a lot later in his career. He wasn't even on normal TV until that Ashira and that was only the highlights.

      Boxing has been dead and off normal TV live for years. I think since Nigel Benn VS Mcclelan and then the Lewis VS Rahman fight.

      It only started back on ITV 1 when Amir Khan went pro.

              LOL. Highlights of the Ashira fight? That would be funny because Joe fought almost all of it with one hand.

              I know what you're saying man, boxing isn't as popular as it was back in the 80's, I remember the excitement surrounding the British Super Middles and Tyson, etc. Good times. But it isn't totally dead. I do think people would appreciate Williams if he was from here (UK).

                      Yeah that highlight was pretty boring as **** lol. I think it was shown at the same gihlights as Reid VS Otkke or whatever. What a fix.

                      Heck he would have only fought Jenkins and UK guys. Warren is a good promoter at making money, but he doesn't risk his fighters with big names like Frank Maloney who had Lennox and Carl's Froch promoter (I think Hennesy)

                      I think a mohican is the most least scary hait cut after Paul malligani's **** lol.
