Do British fans have low standards?

Plenty of Americans crown Wilder the best at the weight. To say you haven't seen them is nothing but being selective with what you see.It is a reason why fans in the JS don't just jump on any and every fighter. When you've seen Ali, Ray Leonard, Hagler Roy Jones Jr, Mayweather the Standard and the expectations to fill those Boxing ICONS Shoes makes things unrealistic.
Same with with Sports like NBA Basketball! Kobe Bryant, LeBron James are held to or is expected to match the Standard of Michael Jordan which is UNREALISTIC!
So no in America we're not going to just crown Wilder KING, sure he has some bias fans who support him but NO Wilder is not a big Star yet because the Sport Fan in America need to see more first before crowning him.
It has nothing to do with standards either. Boxing is just at a low point in America.Comment

Calzaghe is definitely a great. But the last one we had was Carl Froch. He's a lock for HOF when the time comes.I agree with what you say here
But no one is putting Joshua in the brackets of HW greats, not even alongside Klitschko. He has to earn that first
The last great we had was arguably Lennox Lewis. Some would say Calzaghe, but I don’t really rate his resume as much as othersComment

Joshua has Nigerian heritage, but he is definitely a Brit. He was born and raised here.It is not so much the real fans, mainly the casual fan who believes anything that come out of Eddie Hearn's mouth.
Joshua, for example is placed on the same pedestal as Jesus Christ. He ticks all the progressive media boxes - black, Nigerian, criminal, no father around, but now has 'turned his life around' through sport etc.
All total BS of course, but makes a great narrative.Comment

No one has called Whyte elite.exactly, its not like hes some bum but elite????? I don't understand why they think we are angry they have a few decent fighters? im happy for them but they have lost their minds! its like a bunch of children who never had toys and only saw them on tv and finally got ninja turtles. calm down uk fans you have a decent batch yes but gee wizz
And yes, you Americans get very poisonous when a Brit does something good. You smear them constantly. You call Whyte "Shyte".Comment

Joshua will have a very good resume after he's beaten Povetkin. It's by far the best in the division.
Whyte beat a good fighter in Parker so that makes him good. He's far from a bum.Comment

How many American fighters are considered great? In fact, which fighters from anywhere in the world are considered great?
We actually fight the best fighters in the world so of course we'll have some losses. Would you prefer us to be like the Americans and fight **** most of the time?Comment

started to notice an increase in the dislike of british fighters and the fans on here lately can only put it down to a worry over a handful of average fighters in bellew joshua whyte and a good fighter in fury in the heavyweight division
but I guess thats normal when all your chips are on Wilder and you only have garbage like Miller and Jennings to fall back onComment
