I guess I can see why British fighters continue to be overprotected bums

[SirTomJones]

Your right neither race or nationality matters, so I don't know what the reasoning behind Great Britain producing 95% journeyman status fighters is. All I know is American fighters> British fighters and especially welsh fighters and people(like you)

who says I am Welsh?


5% not journeymen? That would probably make the UK the greatest nation on earth.

Wales has given the boxing world the likes of Joe Calzaghe,Jimmy Wilde, Freddie Welsh, Jim Driscoll, and Tommy Farr to name a few. For that I am grateful for the contribution from Wales.

exactly, and wales population is pretty small compared to england, yet still they contibuted more than their share of great fighters into the uk stable, and onto the world stage.

Plus welsh slags are tasty.

Wales is less than 1/3rd the size of London.

Even that population increase was only thanks to the influx of foreign people.

argentina is the best boxing country. they have legends like monzon and baldomir. they have 2 of the best p4p fighters in the world in martinez and narvaez. and their population is less than both the usa and the uk.

You consider Baldomir a legend? Okay.

Besides a few fighters in history, the British are known for producing incredibly bad boxers who do no good outside their country and just fight other bums. I now realize though that I can't blame them. If I could be a shit fighter, never have to face any real competition, always stay and fight out of my hometown or area, and make a lot of money doing it I would. Most the fights I have seen from Great Britain are a couple of bums no one besides biased brits have heard of, fighting in front of packed stadiums and make good money doing it. Really it's the perfect way to make a living;being protected so no one will find out how bad of a fighter you are and make a load of money in the process and trick your biased countrymen into claiming you as a great fighter. Lucky for them they don't have to earn their way up to good paychecks like real fighters do. God it would suck to be a british boxing fan though

Damn dude Im American and even I must admit you were pretty brutal in that thread. Lets not forget one of the greatest heavyweights was british, Lennox Lewis, seems to me I remember him beating a 30 year old Tyson. Nigel Benn, Joe Calzaghe, Hatton, Amir Khan's mixed ass, there are a few but I do slightly agree with you, there are alot of bums, but if they can make alot of money fighting over there, more power to them ya know.

Well I guess you and I have very different criteria for what constitutes a legend. His two best wins are over a completely shot Gatti, and an unmotivated Judah. Add to that, that he has 13 losses and 6 draws on his record.............yeah..........I'd say it's pretty hard to make a case for him being a legend. He got lucky against Zab, and rode that all the way to the bank. Zab looked past him, and paid dearly.
