Floyd Mayweather- Destined for mediocrity?

Either way, no one should have to go to Germany to fight that farce. No disrespect, but if you spend your whole career in Germany, you are a farce.

I'm sorry, but I have a problem with this statement for one reason.

Germans fight every fight in Germany and are called a farce.

Brits fight every fight in the UK and are called a farce.

Why is it okay for Americans to fight every fight in the US? It's a very American point of view.

It's no secret that the American's have the best boxers. Since they have the most marketable fighters, it equals more money. You just can't say the same thing about Germany, UK etc.

Again, another 'we are the world' statement. The arrogance of what you posted is undeniable, but the question remains. Why don't Americans leave their home soil?

Fights on American soil don't always equal more money. That's why Kosta was willing to go across the pond. Big stadiums, big ticket sales.

Everything in the states is either at Boardwalk Hall, Mandalay Bay or the Staples center now.

Props to Lacy for going international to grab another belt. Roy Jones never used his passport for his career, unless you count going to Australia for the Matrix films.

It's no secret America has the best fighters. You MUST come here if you want to prove yourself, it's just a fact.

And thats from a Canadian.

Canadians have good fighters too. Germany is just ****.

Sugar Ray Robinson and Julio Cesar Chavez also fought a ton of nobodies. The amount of "nobodies" doesnt come cose to trumping the somebodies on that record.

Johnson wasn't far past his prime. Still was a very good boxer at that point. Dariusz wasn't the champ. Roy was seen as the champ, regardless of what linear claims DM might have had. When ppl look at this era, they ain't gonna say Dariusz was champ. Either way, no one should have to go to Germany to fight that farce. No disrespect, but if you spend your whole career in Germany, you are a farce.

JCC is overrated

SRR is NOT...
SRR fought 200 fights....
He fought SOO many great fighters!
He fought evertone that was available..

He may have fought bums...
but he fought 4 times a month sometimes..

So you are :PWNING yourself.
SRR is a god.

Yeah, but you said it. These people are acting like Americans must go to england to prove ourselves. Nope, its the other way around.

Canadians have good fighters too. Germany is just ****.

It's no secret that fights overseas are usually fixed. Just look at Sven Ottke's reign at LHW. The German's are notorious for giving the win to there home fighter if he is still standing.

Boxing is more of a business then it is a sport. Boxing in USA=more money because of betting in Vegas and such.

****** post. Never heard of the Most Famous Arena in the World, MSG in NY? Get outta here.

Foreign fighters must come here to prove themselves. Yes, its not nice saying it, but its the truth.
