    Lets face it, the rumor is true - European boxing, like it or not

    Is ****. Plain and simple, most of the Kesslers, Calzaghes, and others who made a career in the old continent would NEVER pass the contender status in the states where boxing is really competitive.

    But what makes the US boxing so much better? Simple answer: They fight different people. US boxers will fight Cubans, Mexicans, Filipinos, Ricans and also Europeans.
    European fighters on the other hand are happy to spend most of their careers in their backyard. That really shows when faced against top notch competition, prime, healthy, confident and strong competition who really want to win and have talent to back it up.
    I remember watching Sven Otke fighting in Germany and i was a little kid, knew nothing about boxing but kept thinking, man, this guy will get owned if he faces RJJ (young, confident, fresh and undefeated RJJ). I got the same feeling seeing most of the others Euros.
    I'm sure everyone sees it the same way but the question here what can they do to stop fighting like freaking robots? Relying in shear size and weigh cutting abilities are not cutting it anymore, unless you are fighting at home but after decades of consecutive crooked decisions (which seem to appease some fans) who really gives credit to continental fighters?

            When Haye, Froch, and Kessler are the best you have to offer it's time call it a day and play girl games like soccer and call it something manly like "football" which is crap, because real football is NFL, not men running around in tiny shorts and bright, colorful shirts.

                if you think calzaghe has a typical european style then you're either an idiot or a biased american.

                  Don't remind me. I had Jermain Defoe on my fantasy squad and I dropped him.
