        Good and meaningful topic but on this forum such topics don't earn respect. You better share some bigottery Floyd or McGregor said or what DLH said about GGG.

          You should specify that those fights were all on UK soil, at least that's what the Ring article said. I'm sure there's been a lot more than 83 title fights over the course of the history of the sport between US and UK fighters.

          ..... Spence has a tough task ahead of him for sure, it often takes a Special US fighter to win over here.

              Kinda hard to get a decision in the U.K. when you're a foreign fighter... they like to use CJ Ross types to help out the home fighters. That's why Spence can basically only win by T/KO sadly.

                There have been many great British-American wars in the squared circle.

                Like Joe Calzaghe vs. Peter Manfredo Jr.

                  When has an American been robbed on the scorecards over here?

                  Beltran? But he was a Mexican

                    You are a liar with you pants on fire. Your made up statistics are total BS. The best American boxers usually beat the best British boxers. The best American boxers have always been better in most cases than the best British boxers and they always will be. The best Americans come over to your islands and knock your best fights out. You try to sing your boxers to victory but that doesn't work. Then your poor sport fans sometimes throw beer bottles at, and boo the visiting American boxer. Hagler need a police escort to get out of the arena after he flattened Mintor. Tyson KOed Brono. Mayweather toyed with and easily beat Hatton. Crawford won every round from Burns. Davis KOed the Englishman in a totally one sided fight. You have the world's best heavyweight now but that is the only weight class I know of that a British boxer is the best in. I am not saying you don't have lots of good fighters because you do have more than your share of good champions. When you try to prove that the best British boxers are better than the best American boxers with made up, incorrect and misleading statistics I say BS.
