    We yanks would support him but the only reason we wouldnt...
    1. We like **** talkers, but usually when they are american **** talkers.
    2. Most foreign fighters that we like...try really hard for us to like them because we want them to pretty much suck our ****s.(not saying i do or any other american in this forum just as a whole)
    Look at Vitali... after he whipped up on Arreola he kept saying how he was a future champ just not now and kept giving Arreola praise(more than anyone else would of). Now with Johnson he is being really nice with the american opponent because Vitali wants the American money fan base. Hell i like the guy now haha

    If haye hates on an american or says some dumb ****...we wont like him. The media mostly though. We hardcore fans can still see talent.

    Edit: Not meant to offend anyone with this. just trying to be honest about the boxing culture over here as I see it.

      Isn't it amazing that for such a tiny island we produce so many world class fighters? Great Britain ****ing rules and we have the best fans.

        Nah even though he has made alot of fans over the years he's well aware of the fact that he's not some kind of superstar...he even talks about in this article:

          He'll have a good run, until he gets knocked out by either Klit Bro of course

            The public still dont really know who he is.

            The reason why this fight has got so much publicity is because of Valuev. Its billed as David and Goliath.

            Valuev is a freak of nature. People talk more about him than Haye.


            If Haye was fighting Vitali, no one outside of boxing would give a ****.

              If Haye wins tonight he will definitely be big, I mean who wouldn't if they win the World Heavyweight Champion, we will have to wait and see what happens tonight with the fight but I do believe that he will be bigger than he is now,

                  And no, he wont be an instant super star after one win.

                  Boxing isnt very popular, and he would need a string of big wins to become a star. I wouldnt even say Hatton was a big star. He was a well known boxer, but not a big star in the way british footballers are.
