Comments Thread For: James DeGale is Eager To End The Callum Smith Hype Train

[1hourRun]

Hes going to Russia not the UK, lets get this straight Russia isn't the hot bed of boxing in Europe, Germany & the UK are. The only reason he's going there, is he's getting his biggest paid day. Plenty of UK fighters past and present go to USA.

Face it Europeans have most of the belts these days, and if Americans want to test themselves they will have to travel. Facts is Facts.

And I'm not saying fighters from Europe shouldn't go to the USA, they should! But to say that British fighters don't travel is utter BS dude.

I give boxers their due respect regardless of nationality or race when they earn it like : Ken Buchanan, Lennox Lewis, Eubank Sr , Nasseem Hamed, Calzage, Hatton, Carl Froch , Amir Khan , James Degale and maybe even Carl Frampton when he comes here to test himself vs. Santa Cruz in New York city All these men had the balls and desire to be great by coming over here AMERICA...but all these current euro frauds I cant respect them and you Brits are to blame for buying this crap from Eddie Hearn and the local promoters.

In your first post you were throwing shade on the IBF. That's all cool. The IBF and their crap listings throw up bull**** mandatory fights. I'm all cool with that BUT what makes no sense is that you try to mix up that argument with Brit fighters not defending in the USA which is another argument the way I see it.
The IBF has just lately been universally crap. They stripped Fury and then made 2 crap American boxers fight for the vacant belt in America. We can hardly accuse the IBF of favoring Brit fighters there.
They then installed 2 American fighters (Johnson and Wade) as mandatories to fight Golovkin. The fight took place in the USA.

The fact is that the British boxing scene is so red hot right now that if it wasn't for Haymon artificially inflating fees then Brit boxers would virtually never leave Britain to fight in the USa as they'd be giving up earnings to do so. Fighters normally go where they can make most money and where there are more fights to be made. Joshua fights in the UK at current time because he is making millions. Frampton can make more money against non American fighters in Belfast. Wilder has been forced to go to Moscow - otherwise the fight would for sure be in the States to keep him home advantage.

You mean Charles Martin ( the American ) vs. Vyacheslav Glazkov ( the Ukranian) or did you just go to boxrec and seen an American flag under Glazkov's name and said '' Oh look hes Merican! I got something! '' LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! HAHAHAHA!...HAHAHAHA!...HAHAHAHA!

This definitely a fight I want to see with 2 guys who don't get nearly the credit they deserve.

Me too, we'd get to see if Smith is for real. One thing is for sure Smith is an absolute massive SMW and can obv ****.

If Callum Smith is real, he is bona fide trouble for at least 2 divisions...

My bad with Glazkov's nationality.

You gotta be kidding me with your lols and your haha's right? How old are you? Come back with something substantial or just give up posting until you know how to string a couple of coherent sentences together.

Make a slip with a poster like you and your whole argument is negated - in your eyes at least. I still stand by what I said about the IBF and fighters going where the money is - which for most Brit fighters right now means the UK.

There's no helping a mental midget like you; short of an enforced lobotomy.

Content with your pyrrhic 'victory' while all the time diminishing your credibility with every subsequent post.
