Great Britain vs USA

[Sadiqkingofko]

how about Floyd Mayweather putting Hatton to sleep? or Andre Ward beating Froch and Kessler? or both Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia beating Amir Khan? or Tony Thompson knocking David Price out twice? or Deontay Wilder knocking out Audley Harrison in a single round? or Bradley beating Junior Witter? or Jason Sosa beating Stephen Smith? or Demetrius Andrade stopping Brian Rose? or Adrien Broner stopping Gavin Rees and Ashley Theophane?

You need to do some research before you talk

I meant if Vitali returned as champion emeritus that Wilder would vacate the wbc belt.

I agree on wilder, but not Vitali. That guy was a beast who'd hang with any of them and possibly win. He beat the absolute hell out of plenty of guys, including Adamek and Arreola who had respect when he fought them. Sam Peter, too.

the Klitschko bro's are my favorite fighters by Wilder would destroy Vitali at the age 45

Oh okay. Haha. You know what? I know what you're saying but I think Wilder would fight them any way because he believes in his ability...and lose...

I don't disagree. I will say, let's flip that to a 30something Vitali and a 45-year-old Wilder. Who wins that? Haha

As far as the heavyweights, it's pretty even for the time being I think. Joshua or Fury could beat Wilder, though. I could see that, if those fights ever happen at all.

Wilder couldn't beat anyone in the top 5 and would struggle like crazy with top 10.

I think if Vitali returned he would immediately vacate the WBC title out of fear

Cherry pickers : why dont you talk about 135-140-147-154-175 we are dominating these weight classes and as far as HW theres only one legitimate champion tested 365 days by VADA ; longest reigning champion, most title defense, best resume of any current champion etc....Deontay Wilder -- then we can talk about P4P we got two in the top five in Ward and Crawford and a long list of young guns that have potential to enter the top ten...but go on and celebrate your pitiful victories and focus on maybe just one division that you have any sort of hope in.

Dude, I'm American. I'm not celebrating. Haha. And as far as it goes, I just like to watch boxing. It doesn't matter to me what country is in charge.

And look. Our country elevated boxing to the huge world wide status it currently has. Guys came from all over the world to make money here that they wouldn't make elsewhere. And we have plenty of good fighters like you say. We're going strong.

You might be American but are you a 'REAL AMERICAN'? your the type that cheers for Kovalev against Ward.

I backed Kovalev because I like his style and at this point is he NOT an American? He's been living here a while. As I stated, I'm not a root for your territory or country kind of guy. Never have been. I live in Tennessee and all I ever hear is this Go Big Orange crap. I don't like the team. I don't like their orange uniforms. I don't like this BS culture of root for whoever is where you are from. So what if they are from somewhere else. I look at each fighter as an individual. Would I use it as a tie breaker? Say, if I like both fighters and one is from the US? Sure, I can see that, but rooting for one just because we share nationality when I find them to be a bore or just don't like watching them is ludicrous for me. For others, it's not. I just look at it differently.

He doesn't believe in his ability. He had a million chances to face Vitali, but he intentionally waited until he retired so he could snap up the vacant title, he's a *****.

The heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions are almost entirely european, with 3 or 4 top names belonging to Britain.

When you get lower down in weight it starts to even out but the leading fighter at 168, probably at 147 and definitely at 126 are from the UK.

Then you have title holders at super bantam, lightweight and middleweight.

In between all of that, we should not forget the increasing number of belt holders from Europe in general.

The US is no longer the largest market for the sport and neither is it the custodian of the best fighters of the sport.
