Comments Thread For: DeGale Aims To Be Best British Fighter That Ever Lived

[Yaconcha]

The list of great British Boxers isn't a very long list. Almost as short as the list for mexican war heroes. Calzaghe-Froch- That's about it for a Brit.

omg! you gotta be an american! great brits..ok, lets see...you mention froch and calzaghe. what about hamed? benn? eubank? honeygan? watson? turpin? lewis? cooper? hatton? haye? mcguigan? farr? all post war fighters. if you look at the population of american fighters (or any other country) and ours in terms of size statistically, were far better.
FAR BETTER. each of the fighters mentioned has done more than enough to be called a modern post war great i admit, there have been some great americans but no british boxer have ever avoided an american and everyone on the above list has beaten more yanks than the american greats have beaten british.
just look at hameds list of americans beaten....or calzaghes...or nigel benn so you see....you get the picture. fackin yanks.
