    Respect your fellow posters. No flames on family members, religion or race. Users who make repeated offenses will be banned, no exceptions...There are options in the usercp for blocking users, use it...Either people shape up or I will ship them out. I will ban as many people as I have to in order for everyone to get the message...People will be warned first, some have been warned already and hopefully I wont have to warn anymore.

      If Hatton can sell 45,000 seats in Manchester, he'd have a purse to entice any fighter to British shores.

      They'll be A LOT more money generated there than 5,000 seats in a Las Vegas casino. You gotta go where the money is.

      We are the center of the boxing world, weather you like it or not, what we say goes as far as respect goes. You cant get that respect in England or anywhere else.

        Unfortunately Neil, those rules seem to apply only to certain people, for whatever reason.
        I dont know why he quoted my post to go off on you cause I've made it very clear in the past that I'm your biggest supporter. Not to mention, here of late you've been good as gold to me and I can never repay you for your kindness.
        And if all that was not enough (which it is) I'm officially done with all the dramas around this place. They just sully the site, and even if the owners and mod's dont care about that, alot of the old, good posters do or they would still be around. I've gotten into plenty of them in the past, but that ****s for children so it's boxing talk or nothing.

        • It was a ROUGH fight....not dirty, in my book.

          I cannot believe how much physically stronger Hatton was than Tszyu on the inside.
          As physical a fighter I've always known Hatton to be, I did not expect him to be the bully against the always super-strong Tszyu. But, he was. He outmuscled him, & never appeared bothered by Tszyu's big shots. I was amazed by Hatton's victory....
          & horribly disappointed in Tszyu's cowardly exit.

            That's insuler, arrogance and ignorance. Sorry if you don't like it fella but that's the truth.

            (I really didn't wanna say this but, - When you say stuff like this, it's no suprise that America is the most hated nation in the World?).

              It's O.K. to hate America...but Americans can't insult other nations ? Why's that ?

                I'm not sure where you're coming from but if Americans want to insult other nations that's fine by me.

                  To be fair, no other nation has renamed it's long-cut fried potato products because they were mad at another country.

                    What I have to say has nothing to do with patriotism or love for America, im an american because i was born here, not because im proud, or that i give a **** about pride. I dont like fighters because of nationality, i like them because i ****in like them, but one thing is for sure, America is the center of the boxing world, accept it and be on with it. The only time i give a **** about patriotism is the world cup and the olympics, other than that, you wont see me sporting the goddamn flag, or any of that other **** you might think americans do because of what you get shown on the BBC.

                    Most major title fights that matter take place here, thats a ****in fact, and it will likely never change. Someone stated earlier that by fighting here, your fighting in neutral territory, thousands of english fans could pack an arena even with a famous american fighting in it. Just as mexican/Puerto Ricans do the same. If im from Oakland California, and i take a fight in Atlantic City, i have 0 homefield advantage. Thats the thing, were not a small island who needs to cling to 1 or 2 fighters that are actually worth a damn, the whole country doesnt support just a couple of above average fighters which is why were the center. For as many people who love Mayweather, there are just as many who cant stand him. How many people in the UK have that additude towards your 2 best fighters?
