    Because what else do they have? their weather sucks, their country is getting bent over and trying to pull itself apart at the seams. They once owned three quarters of the world, and now they're stuck on a ****ty little fog island talking about how Lennox Lewis isn't a real brit.

      Deontay Wilder said we are better than American Boxing fans. No wonder you all get salty about it. You dont hear British fight fans calling Andre Ward a coon or Crawford a coon. Thats American fight fans saying that kind of thing towards their own champions.

      Once again, Deontay Wilder, American champion Deontay Wilder called British fight fans the best.

        I think UK fans got more of a team oriented take on boxing. Its the UK vs the rest of the world. Its like an Olympic outlook kinda I feel like.

        I think we in the US don't see the world at large as much cuz we are running so much sh^t as a world power. I think in sports we got a similar take with sh^t where we are competing against ourselves more than the rest of the world so there is nothing we see worth supporting besides whoever is running sh^t at the tip top or who someone may think can get to the tip top.

        Randomly I feel like I got a very-UK-like support system going on with Michigan boxers. On some level I see the boxing world as Michigan boxers vs the world & I relish every success a Michigan boxer finds himself enjoying & I enjoy the big moments that weren't as successful too.

          As you keep getting told that's because Brits have nothing much to cheer about. Their soccer teams are full of imports so if any genuine Brit actually get's off his bum and does something remotely well he is going to be a star.

              Well that's the most typical American answer going.

              Obviously, we have BREXIT, then boxing.

              Jeeeez, read the news for once.

                  Woah woah woah there, Monsieur Newfoundlander of the 51st State who still bows to Queen Elizabeth but led by a corrupt PM. Pot Kettle!

                  This island is not foggy at all! And...you can have Lennox back, he's a massive nause.

                  only messing

                    Oh Lennox is ours! We've claimed him since the Ams!

                    And I didn't vote for the little fem****

                    (though it's good to know that Justin's BS is finally being smelled outside of Canada)

                      Do you think these Boxers care why? Did Deontay break down why? Or did he just say he wanted some of that? Just cuz you know why its happening doesnt mean it isnt happening.

                      There is nothing to stop Americans getting behind their fighters just like the Brits do, nothing at all, but thats just not how you roll. We do it better, sorry.What Americans like to do is get behind and support a SURE THING. 1st or last. Thats why Mayweather was so popular. We love our Boxers just cuz its a fun thing to do, you only want to support 100% winners. thats why American successful fighters are so scared to lose their 0. Thats why these big fights dont get made.

                      Lose your 0, lose a belt and you will lose your fans, lose your fans and you lose alot of income. So safety 1st, take the easier fights.
