    Oh my.. When there were talks of Wlad-Peter I people were calling Peter the hardest hitter since 70's Foreman

      Sam "Sack of Shit" Peter was always that. When he had his first loss (lost, NSB), they put him in with an old Audley Harrison opponent to bring back "Sam the Destroyer". WHO NECKS??? Probably someone with a losing record to make you look good, Sam.

      The bias on this poll (ALL UK fighters as one option?) is clearly weighted, but the reality is, of course, being a "fan" of a fighter is letting go of objectivity.


      Unless of course it's Danny Williams.

        Being a Brit, being at the mercy of Skysports and Boxnation I can tell you its the Britpack. Im sure you mustve heard our commentators and summarists at times when watching UK footage. If John Rawlings, Barry Mcguigan, Steve Bunce are not biased and home favouring then I am an all American.

        Khan has his level of dellusion but for the creme de la creme our own Carl Frochs level of dellusion both from him and his humerous fan base takes the main prize. Now we get to hear him again rewriting history leading up to the Groves rematch. Already on day one of the signing he presented a version of fight 1 that can surely only exist inside Carl Frochs own imagination.

              Nostalgiasts. Its embarrassing to be a boxing fan sometimes. Every other sport most fans generally accept that progress happens in sports. Progress is quantifiable in numerous ways and impossible to rationally attack. Boxing has a ton of delusional idiot "fans" who think various fighters who fought 50 years ago would stand a chance against top modern fighters. Its embarrassing as a fan of boxing that boxing fans on average are probably the least intelligent fans of any sport on the planet.

                  What is the difference between Frazier and Peter, really?

                    Yeah the Brit option could be split up. I mean the Khan/Brook, Froch/Groves (ect) fans have different views from eachother.

                    Anyway, the answer is clearly Mayweather

                      right now, khan's fan base has no equal in terms of being delusional.
