I thought prince naseem looked very ameturish also a good fighter \but way way overated. The fact is when european fighters arethe typical  style fighter they are below fighters here in the  us its just thayt boxing here is bad, and may never get better right now. Exceptions are klitchko, vladmir not vitali, (if vitali had a chin hed been 10 timnes as good as vitali, who is horrible skill wise) valdimir has adjusted and has become very good, lennox well he was always good but became better as he adapted his style
lewis beat all american hws and beat vitali enuff said it was hattons first time at that weight give him a break calzaghe was just showing off being bit of a tit but hes still a great fighter in my book and + benn eubank watson were all great fighters from uk and we got clinton woods at lhw
