I mean honestly if there was any other heavyweight title holder that chose to fight Audley Harrison would anyone accept it? Would people say "This is going to be the biggest heavyweight fight in England since Bruno-Lewis?"......no they wouldn't and why is that? Because Audley Harrison is a bum that's why, because he's already had his ass kicked by shit fighters before and upping the competition ain't gonna help him.

I'm all for supporting your fellow countrymen but there are some times when it crosses a line and just gets ridiculous and this is one of those cases.

We've got guys in the US who feast on bums and won't fight outside their comfort zone, but you don't see me bragging about how great Rocky Juarez or Juan Diaz are.

I'm a Brit, but I'd agree with every word of that.
This!

Lol I too am a Brit and hate Hatton, Calzaghe and Khan..(Although Khan has gone to the states early so kinda have to have a an incey wincey bit of respect for that). Fighters do get too much credit here..it's been like that for an eternity.

We have passionate fans here..But also promoters like Warren etc do a great job of making out that the "WORLD" of boxing is here in the U.K with farcical titles like the WBU and WBO. You'll be AMAZED at how many Hatton fans actually didn't know or give a shit who Mayweather was.."Just another opponent that Ricky will blast out" is what most of the general public actually thought.

I used to strongly dislike Haye too but he too took some steps out of his comfort zone to unify the cruiserweight titles..and has achieved a lot in his small amount of professional fights..But this fight was a joke, make no mistake. Klitschko's have to come next or Haye's noise will start to get boring.
