Do British fans have low standards?

[Sid-Knee]

It's sour grapes and damage control. So Fury tells it like it is, and now Wilder is picking on him. It's the total breakdown of their false narrative.

What have we got to be sour about?

Americans are the bitter and sour ones. Any non American fighter does well and the *****iness comes from every angle. No one does sour like you guys.

[Sid-Knee]

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.

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 has nothing to do with standards either. Boxing is just at a low point in America.

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 others

Calzaghe is definitely a great. But the last one we had was Carl Froch. He's a lock for HOF when the time comes.

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.

Joshua has Nigerian heritage, but he is definitely a Brit. He was born and raised here.

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

No one has called Whyte elite.

And yes, you Americans get very poisonous when a Brit does something good. You smear them constantly. You call Whyte "Shyte".

[Sid-Knee]

a lot of them do bro, they act as if hes already an ATG!, hes a decent fighter but like all current HWs he still has work to do.

Stop lying and exaggerating. No one has called Joshua an ATG.

[Sid-Knee]

I don’t side with the TS but Joshua’s resume is trash ****en coward and Whyte is a ****en bum.

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.

[Sid-Knee]

A lot of UK fighters win some championship, get hyped up and they end up losing it once they step up and fight some non UK fighter. How many UK champs are there that are considered great and have defended their titles against non UK fighters recently? BJS and AJ?

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?

[Accolade]

We actually fight the best fighters in the world so of course we'll have some losses.

lmao look at this delusional brit. this is exactly what I'm talking about.

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 on
