And now there is all this hoopla and hype about Mighty Mike Arnaoutis. Some folks on here talking about that he's going to knock out Mayweather or Pacman if they meet up. Does he even belong in the same sentence with those 2? Yeah Mighty Mike will knock those 2 out maybe 8 years from now when Floyd and Manny are shot fighters and are still fighting because they need to pay their taxes.

Maybe the last all time geat European fighter was Bob Fitzsimmons when the Marquess of Queensbury Rules started to be implemented in boxing. I think you have to go back that far for a great European fighter. :-\

HAHAHAHAHA i think i just shit i laughed that hard.

This must be a joke or an absolute legend of a poster who doesn't know about the Mighty Mike joke!

EDIT: I really don't think he knows the mighty mike thing is a joke. Altho Pac is clearly ducking him. Everyone can see that, even Stevie Wonder.

How about Calzaghe that won against shot fighters like Hopkins and Jones Jr.? Where was he when those 2 were in their prime? Why didn't Nigel Benn greatly revered in the UK fight a prime Hopkins and Jones Jr?

I'm guessing that you have been banned from here before. :cool:

Rickey Hatton in the same league as Floyd and Pacman? Does a overrated club fighter belongs in the same ring as those 2? Hatton is a smaller and poor man's Jake La Motta. And Prince Naseem that people on this board are defending as an elite fighter from past few posts. The one that got badly exposed by MAB? And now there is all this hype with Mighty Mike. The best complete fighter of the 21st century? Now that's an overhype statement.

I can't believe I called you an idiot, when you are clearly a genius. Saddo, please give this guy the metaphorical key to the forum.

Re: Fighters From Europe Are really overrated

Normally, I wouldn't answer to this thread for obvious reasons but sometimes temptation is soooo strong... argghhhh

Europe formed some of the best boxers in history and this modern era is filled with talent. Yeah, some have been overrated, but isn't it the case everywhere? America and Canada had tons of boxers who have been overrated through the ages, promoters are behind most men, there is always and will always be some of these that will be able to hype a man to the maximum before the curtains fall and the truth discovered. If there is something, the danger of a hyped boxer might be greater in north america as promoters over here, in general, are a bit more powerful and where the network tvs are a lot richer than their rivals. Saying that european fighters are overrated or less talent than in the rest of the world is a total nonsense, it sounds like an aging Don Cherry stating that hockey players in Europe aren't that good, total and plain nonsense.
