The problem with UK boxing

[DaNeutral.]

Our talent pool is less than half the size of the USA's and Mexico's. We should be measured against the likes of Japan, not against those two. USA-UK only a "rivalry" because we both speak English and like to talk *****, not because it's actually competitive

And it's not fair to compare hardcore American boxing fans against casual British fans either. Hardcore British fans follow boxers from all over the place too. I'm sure I watch just as much boxing as you do

MotorCityCobra only watches PBC fights. He goes on Youtube to be told about everything else that happens in the sport by those strange racists who claim to also be Boxing fans.

So basically you're just a bitter Jock who hates the English?

Personally i'm looking forward to watching Prograis smash Taylor to bits.

I like English people, it's the English media I can't stand as such I like to see English sporting failures. I'm glad I wasn't around in 1966

Gone are the days of Carl Froch. Boy what they wouldn't give for another one of him right about now. While I feel they do go overboard a bit I love the passion and love they show for their guys. America used to be like that

**** thread from a **** poster.

I think overall UK fans are more educated when you're comparing hard-core and casuals respectively. American fans are much more insular, even many of the posters here don't know much of what's going on outside the US.

It's also true that as a country, much like Puerto Rico, the UK punches way above it's weight in terms of fighters/champions produced.

I think a lot of American fight fans on here have a superiority complex, which then manifests as insecurity whenever that perceived "superiority" is challenged. Personally I don't care where a fighters from, some of my fav have been from all over, but I'm also loyal to many British fighters

The English media are a farce, been saying it for years. I'm glad Raheem Sterling checked them, but still a long way to go.

Who cares what the OP thinks? This is the same man who claimed the other day that a woman being ****d in SA was justified because she was white.

Why would you get on Al Gore's internet and tell that flat out lie???

I think we perform pretty much as expected to be honest. We have the fourth most active boxers according to BoxRec and probably rank #3 in terms of performance right now. Puerto Rico is more impressive per capita, although they're in a bit of a trough currently

You know exactly what you said.

Yes I do. That's why I know you just lied on me. The thread is still up. My comments are still up. Yet you choose to lie

That's true I was thinking more population wise, but I guess participation is more important
