    Can we all agree that UK elite-level boxers are better than the US equivalent?

    US boxers dominate the mid/gatekeeper levels simply because there are more of them due to the difference in population.

    But when you pit elite against elite, Mayweather aside, it's quite clear that British boxers are of a higher standard when compared to the US equivalents on the whole.

    Case in point:

    Calzaghe whooped 2 x ATG's in Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins and retired undefeated.
    Also defeated and humiliated Jeff Lacy, the so-called next Tyson and also Peter Manfredo Jr who was proclaimed to be the next big thing at one point.
    Tyson Fury made Deontay Wilder his bitch all night long.
    Lennox Lewis taught Mike Tyson severest lesson.
    And Kell Brook, who I would consider to be a level below elite status, even with one-eye dominated the USA's best offering in Errol Spence. Had it not been for the injury, Errol Spence would have lost a clear unanimous decision. He also defeated Shawn Porter who is up there with your best offerings.

    I could go on..

    The US hosts better and more exciting fights perhaps, but the fighters are Mexican, Puerto Rican, Filipinio etc... the talent pool from the US is **** average in my honest opinion.

    Thank you for your time.

    No liar lmao because we all know Hop beat Cal, Fury didn't beat Wilder, and
    Brook...what!!??? Lmao. You can't go on. For every fight that you name I can probably name 10-20 more. But this is probably the only response that you'll get in this **** thread lmao.

    Oh and P.S...you forgot to add "black" to the list of American fighters.

        This is highly debatable. Both have had a litany of weaker or propped up champions.

            Looks at the history of champions, numbers of belts, and somehow reckon the UK is winning something. Y'all lucky if Mexico ain't second and **** Japan's been **** for a minute now. Y'all might be like third or fourth by now.

              Hell no, I don't agree with your bias English BS. Joe was 36 to Hopkins's 43 and Jones's 39. I thought Hopkins won and Jones was completely shot when he fought Joe. Spence beat up and KOed Brook in his back yard simple as that. He made him quit and he would have stopped Brook any day of Brook's life. The injury is just an excuse for losing to a much better fighter. Brook was England's best welterweight but no where near as good as either Spence or Crawford. Your heavyweight champ just got KOed by an American. Americans go to your Island and KO your champions all the time. If you want to brag on an English boxer then brag on Callum Smith because I think he is the best fighter you have now. I thought Fury edged out Wilder but I think Wilder knocks him out in a rematch.

                    I'm trying... but it's late in the day for me and all I can think about is AJ getting TKO-ed by RUIZ. and yes Ruiz is American.
