    Steve Cunningham, Eddie Chambers(if he went to cruiser), Travoris Cloud, Chad Dawson, Bernard Hopkins, Andre Ward, Andre Dirrell, Kelly Pavlik, Paul Williams, Andre Berto, Floyd Mayweather jr, Tim Bradley, Devon Alexander, Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero, and Brandon Rios are all fighting on the world class stage.

      Every single one of those guys. Either they sport their Mexican heritage with a split flag of Mexico and the United States or they just sport an American flag. All those fighters were born in America.

        LOL

          That is def false.

          Please with the froch ****. He was getting his azz handed by j Taylor and he got the **** box out of him by the softest American in dirrell. He got a gift decision.

          With that said I did enjoy that dominate fight he had last night. But I wonder where he got that stategy from?

            That isn't really the point. I was wrong about the UK not being in the top 10 but I am right that they certainly can not match America talent wise. No country can and probably will never. With that said, the UK has some prospects that are very nice and will put the golden era of UK fighters to shame imo(the 90s). The UK can establish itself back in the top 3 with America and Mexico if they play their cards right but right now they have fallen a ways back.

                and British boxing is back page news. Plus, we have the better fighters.

                Carl Froch will beat Andre Ward. Styles make fights, and he's the U.S's best prospect. ****. Boxing is in trouble in the states. Froch isnt even the best fighter fighter in Britain.

                At the end of the day the US has became 2 rich and no-one really knows a struggle there any more. They've became 2 fat, 2 lazy, 2 spoilt.

                The British belt means more than the USBA. wow, i never thought i say that, but the british champ whoops that champ in the majority of weight classes imo. Euro champ means more than both.

                discuss? why have the americans became so terrible at boxing? are they not tough enough
                are you a f ucking a$$? after that abysmal over hyped british piece of **** fight 3 weeks ago no brit should be bragging about boxing.

                    Are we arguing heart or we talking about talent and skill. Stick to 1 topic and stay with it.

                    And as far as heart goes Floyd shows plenty of heart when he boxes.


                    You got an agenda duke so I guess it is what it is.

                      Zab Judah, Jermain Taylor, Daniel Jacobs, sklills, no heart

                      Jeff Lacy, he had heart, no skills

                      A-Farce emigrated to the united states so i think he picked up a few bad habbits
