Picture these much-lauded fighters being born in Manchester and not Philadelphia or Florida:
Bernard Slopkins:
From The UK: "They don't need a bell to start his rounds, they need a starter pistol. He just runs the whole night and uses his head and tries to nick rounds. Who's he ever fought? He's just defended his title fighting a lot of bums, the Brit ***."
From The US: "Top ten middle of all time, HOF, superb boxer".
Roy Jones:
From The UK: "He just dances around like some kind of chicken and has ducked everybody. He's got a list of nobodies on his belt and he's got a bum chin."
From the US: "All time great, anyone who says different is a 'hater'. He was old for the KOs and weight-drained."
