I have read this post with interest and have similar views that the american public seem to think that unless you fight in the States you are a bum.

However being a massive football (Soccer ) fan i can honestly say that us Brits have the same views regarding Stateside footie players!!

Americans are spoilt with the best that Boxing can offer and as a result they base there opinions on what they see on TV, in magazines etc In the UK we are blitzed with football 24/7 and our views seem very similar to the people from the USA of America!

I cant put into words what i actually mean so sorry if ive confused anyone!

Great to meet you and your old man on Friday Dan!
