The idea that one has to fight in Vegas to validate their career is BS

              I mean someone like AJ can stay in the UK that is fine but he will never be up with the GREATS. He will be known as "Just A British Legend"



              Respect to the Legend Benn but just a quick example of UK have a LONG HISTORY of being OK with 2nd Place to the "Yanks"

              Look it is "CUTE" that the UK finally has a Major Draw and a Homegrown Superstar but America is STILL where the vast majority of fighters come to become STARS...NOT THE UK! When guys like Loma, Pacquiao, Canelo and others start running to the UK to become Stars there then you can have a legit claim of being "The New Mecca Of Boxing". UK is simply not BIG ENOUGH to ever be the Mecca Of Boxing!

              AJ will never EVER STACK Up with a Lennox Lewis if he doesn't come over and fight Wilder but Hey maybe he has more of the mentality of Mayweather and it is all about the $$$ and he doesn't care about Legacy, if that is the Case then good luck to him just don't ever put him in the Conversations with the Heavyweight Greats!

                  it was your prediction that he'd be fighter of the decade that started his downward spiral. next time you think highly of a fighter, for their sake, keep it to yourself.

                      Most Brits have travelled. You should look at history to know this. But with you being a complete idiot i'm sure it's too hard to understand.
