Why do British boxers suck so bad?

[{Pito}]

As soon as someone throws in a "cookie cutter" comment I just switch off and think ***git.

Damn son. Youre waaaay to gangsta

The Naps guy is a certified lunatic!

I had an unusual and problematic encounter with him earlier. Too many hard rights to the head!

The clown even admitted that at the start of his post lol.

And the fact that America has been completely beaten out of boxing altogether with no hope of return in sight is undeniable. Making excuses for it and hyping up past fighters and demoralising the current era is silly but understandable. But denying it is even more shameful!


The US needs to bring boxing back to high school, put down the rap music cd's and the hand guns and get back in the gym! Laziness!

You're a ****ing idiot if there ever was one. This website just attracts Euro trash trolls these past couple years - they must recruit you losers off the bread line.

The US has been beaten out of boxing? That's a pretty unsubstantiated claim considering that 7 or 8 of the top 15 p4p fighters in the world are Americans.

In regard to the HW division the European HW's are just as bad as the Americans outside of the Klitschko brothers.

When Tony Thompson beats down Kubrat Pulev who will be the next Euro HW to get propped up as the heir apparent?

I remember when it was Dimitrenko - then he got beat down my a midget American.

Then it was Robert Helenius - then he got beaten up by Fat Boy Chisora.

Then it was David Price - the great white hope - 2nd coming of Lennox - knocked out by an American.

European Heavyweights are softer than baby ****. As mediocre as the current Americans are they would take over the division if the Klitschkos left today.

Well maybe not all 4 belts since Europeans like to hoard their belts and take on underserving challengers in lieu of facing Americans.

Most pound for pound lists are also done by American journalists though...

This figure is more like 5 tops...

As far as opening post, i'd say for the size of the island we don't do badly at all...

I wouldn't say US has been beaten out of boxing, but I do think it's time that it realises that it isn't fully in control now

I'm British so it's not racist

Seriously, they are all ****

Normally have glass jaws and get exposed the minute they step up

Is it genetic or something else?

Rubbish, absolutely rubbish

well if you can do any better then get your gloves on. there has been plenty of british fighters that have done well in this sport.

I think this thread is one to try and create division.. I wouldn't go as far as saying British fighters suck!?!?! But I'm guessing that's just an opinion of the guy who started the post...

Hats off to Geale and Barker for last nights entertainment

Peace

They've always ****** tbh. Nigel Benn is a legend over there but he's basically the black guy version of Michael Katsidis.

black kastidis ? goto school kid , benn was chinny , but was a ****er of the highest order , who well past his prime had a savage war with mclellan , who at the time was the next big thing . gman had beat jones jr as an amateur jus knocked out julian jackson and had benn out of the ring within 20 seconds of round 1 .... iran barkley got blitzed in a round, doug dewitt was out in 8 , and he beat eubank in the rematch only to get given a draw . Nigel IS a legend in britain , but its nt because people thought he was the best ever , he rolled with gangsters (essex boys), smoked weed like a rasta and turned up on fight night with a kill or be killed attitude , is there any other word than legend to sum him up ? Lol

I make you right kastidis is a good fighter but nothing like Nigel... Benn even went as far as to go against the so called underworld "Tibbs" when they told him if they don't stay with them he will never fight again.... So they brought in the general.. And Ben proved again he's his own man

idk the UK is still the most succesfull boxing nation in europe. Better than Germany, Spain, France etc etc.... so it's not that bad really.
