Sure a 38-0 record looks good, but when you amass it against the british circuit, what does it matter? Until England stops producing fighters like Herbie "The English Muffin" Hide and Frank Bruno, I will with hold my subscription to BBC. Ali G and The Prince kick ass, though!
    Come on Asian. You honestly never rated Benn, Eubank, McGuigan, Honeygan, McKenzie, to name but a few?

      I enjoyed Eubank's entrances, they were much better than people give him credit for. Isn't Honeyghan the "bloke" who beat Curry? Thats amazing.

          Didn't Eubank also do some weird body builder poses in between rounds? That guy was also cool. Didn't he mess up Michael Watson or something?

            Your joking right

            UK boxers dont even make the sports pages in the newspaper's, i think the Hatton vs Tszyu story had a column near the sex lines adverts.

            If i asked most people in the UK who Howard Eastman is fighting next, they would probably say "Howard who?"

            Boxing in the UK isnt a big sport anymore, its all soccer.

              Boxing isn't big in America anymore. It's all baseball and basketball now. All I'm saying is Ricky Hatton and Danny Williams suck.

                Danny Williams is a 50/50 fighter, sometimes he's good, sometimes he's terrible.

                Let the Tszyu fight decided if Hatton sucks.

                  Yeah, Eubank would just stop fighting and strike a pose for no reason.LMAO.

                  He did mess him up bad, he's only started being able to walk again in the last couple of years. It was a great fight, you should see it if you haven't yet. Watson was a very good fighter too, he handed Benn his first loss and was beating Eubank until he got KTFO.

                    Chris Eubank and Naseem Hamed were funny arrogant. Judah is just ****** with his stuff.
