    I understand what you getting at but my point is africa as a whole doesnt have a lot of boxer for me to seperate them one by one, UK have load of boxers so yes i would probably say UK instead of europe.

      I didnt disagree with you, Am merely stating how you called me out on it but i was proven right in the end.

        Who says Africa doesn't have a lot of fighters? There are countless. Again, your lack of knowledge regarding the continent doesn't make the statement ok. Was that an African fighter on PPV last week? How about Jackson Bonsu last night? How about all the fights in different countries in Africa weekly? Check boxrec. Sorry dude, that's not an excuse. Especially when you make a comment like "When african fighters get to a stage like this they alway lack motivation because the money they are making on that fight would set them up for life back in africa." I know you aren't but that's almost borderline racist because the only thing most of these fighters have in common is that they're Black. The reason why you separate other places by country is because you wouldn't dare group the Chinese with the ************ would you? But they're both Asian, no? Exactly. So drop that. And drop that horrible generalization which is unequivocally false.

          How many african fighters are at the stage that Clottey is? Am talking about african fighter that reach a stage that Clottey reached in the last 15 years. So Bonsu is at a stage where Clottey or Quartey is now? Am not generalising all african fighters over the years, You are the one busy picking my post and expanding it, Am not here to segregate anyone from any group or make this a rascist post, Am sure my post was never intended to look or sound rascial to anyone, My post is directed to the lack of motivation for boxers that i have seen over the last 15 years or so because they are comfortable enough in not wanting to risk it all not need to try and lecture me or "Educate" me in what i know.

            Sorry Ray, you're my man 25 grand but even if there haven't been a lot of "African fighters" who have reached that stage, it still doesn't make the generalization ok. At all. In fact, it's ludicrous. It is a statement that can be applied to human beings in general - yeah, some people get complacent. It would be wrong if you said "Most Asians" "Or most Australians". Here you're generalizing 49 countries (together! wtf??) like you really know what the average Moroccan does when they reach a certain plateau. You don't. Drop it.
