this forum downplays uk fighters...

Majority of the haters are Americans who wish Calzaghe was American.

...every damn time. seems as if nothing positive is allowed to be said about a brit

so a 46-0 fighter in JOE CALZAGHE with 21 defences, unifying 3 belts, who beat lacy, roy jones, hopkins, kessler, eubank amongst others is now apparantly a 'fraud'. Even at the time he was active he wasnt rated, look at the old lacy/calzaghe media predictions, they just assumed lacy would walk right through him, they were picking him to stop him in 3 rounds ffs. But when joe wins every round it doesnt count, it must have been because lacy wasnt good, it wasnt a case of calzaghe being brilliant, no cause that means giving credit to joe. And beating hopkins and roy jones doesnt count because they were old, because joe was such a spring chicken at that age too wasnt he?

ANTHONY JOSHUA picks up 3 heavyweight belts in a short space of time consistently fighting top 5 opponents but 'hes third best in the division' and not a real champ. The real champ at the time was wilder because he beat one old fat old cuban who is heavily rumoured to be approaching 50 years old.

Then when you try to reason with these guys and say TYSON FURY would outbox wilder and deserve to win (as i predicted) you get laughed at. Again he never got credit for the wladimir fight, he apparently won because 'wlad never threw punches' as if he made the conscientious decision to go in there, not throw punches and lose.

When ward won his tournament he was p4p top 3. When usyk won his tournament hes p4p top 3. If inoue wins his i bet he'll be p4p top 3 (some people have him up there already). But when CALLUM SMITH wins his tournament, we dont count it. Hes not allowed to be called the top dog in his own division. Everyone says the UK dominated 168 line up was weak. What exactly was/is so amazing about that cruiserweight line up or the bantamweight one?

When leo santa cruz goes 1-1 with frampton he becomes number 1 in the division and goes on the p4p list. When JOSH WARRINGTON beats frampton even easier and beats unbeaten lee selby, hes talked about like hes some fringe level fighter and not even top 3 in his own damn division. Them wins are better than half the fighters on the p4p list have.

Then an outstanding amateur such as JOE JOYCE comes along after getting robbed in olympic finals, starts knocking everyone out as a pro and hes not even in contention for any prospect of the year awards and youve got posters on here calling him 'a big oaf' and 'the frankenstein monster', yet other prospects who have done nothing more in the pros and did a lot less in the amateurs are talked about as superstars.

why is this the case?

I think it's because posters like you turn the slurping up to 1,000 MPH for the slightest little accomplishment. because it's so new to you. Take AJ.

yeah he's good. The US has dozens of HWTs better than AJ so we can understand a little hype but not the degree of slurpage.

when you go into slurp mode, fans try to bring you back down with a dose of reality. That isn't hate, it's just truth.

Who cares what other countries think about us? We know Britain is great, and deep down, so do they. P4P#1.

I think the Brits rate Calzaghe too high, he wouldn't beat Andre Ward at any point in time. Don't act like he is an all time great. People in the States are critical of Mayweather's resume but he fought far superior fighters when they were on the up compared to Calzaghe.

The Brits feel threatened by Deontay Wilder, thats why they downplay Wilders accomplishments fact is Fury is better than all of Joshua's opponents. Joshua has done some nice work but he is fake af. Refusing to acknowledge Wilder in past, no face to face, no callouts, ridiculous fight demands, asking for $50 million but refusing it. Your own countrymen Fury has praised Wilder and so many of them including Lennox Lewis are critical of Joshua's actions.

I got no strife with Usyk, Frampton, Warrington, Joyce, Josh Taylor etc. Would like to see them in bigger fights.

Ward would not beat Joe. Joe was nobodys b1tch and would have bullied Ward the moment ward tried it with him.

I think a lot of Brits over rate their fighters. They pick up titles and look great fighting domestic level fighters and once they step up and fight someone not from the UK they end up losing. JUst look at all the UK fighters who have lost their titles recently. Their are few good UK fighters who are the goods but Brits still overrate their fighters. For gods sake, Brook is somewhat a ATG to you guys and he's only had 1 good win his whole career.

Yeah youre right i shouldnt rise to it but their constant bullcrap is too much sometimes.

[Southpawology]

The last really impressive UK fighter was Carl Froch. Uk fighters dont do it for me. If we are going to talk about european fighters then lets talk about the Ukrainians, Russians, Kazakhs,Chechnyans.
