    MW - Quillin would destroy everybody at MW except Golovkin.
    LW - Crawford would school everyone on the list, Broner already destroyed the Brits at LW.

    America wins.
    Wilder hasn't fought anyone and backed out of the Chisora fight. He would lose to Haye.

      I don't think Americans are really like Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Filipinos and Brits in terms of supporting fighters based on nationality. As far as I've seen they tend to support ethnically or on locality (fans support a fighter from their local city) but rarely do they support nationally.

      A lot of American fans will even support foreign fighters over their local fighters as long as they're more entertaining.

      I can see a lot of Americans supporting Canelo (even non Mexi-Americans) over Mayweather whereas even though at the time Eubank wasn't popular Brits would never have supported Rocchegiani or another foreign fighter over Eubank.
      Basically this. Good post. Hit the nail on the head.

        The US does have the best locations and money for boxing I agree, but it can be so bias for one fighter that it is a disgrace.

        The same is said for the UK too. However it appears that a lot of boxers don't want rematches these days.
        No problem, Master Chief.

            We should also start rivalries with the British in basketball, baseball, volleyball, futbol americano, ice hockey, swimming and 4x400m relay.
