The fight that is most demanded for Calzaghe is Kessler. And Calzaghe is not interested. The fight that was most demanded for Hatton was Floyd Mayweather or Vivian Harris, but Hatton thought he would have gotten an easy win over Collazo.

I don't know if its a British thing, but why don't British fighters start stepping up to the plate. There was a time when Trinidad fought Vargas, Joppy and Hopkins in one stretch. There was a time when Hopkins fought Taylor twice then went on to fight Tarver. There was a time when Oscar fought Vargas, Sturm, Hopkins and Mayorga, all in one stretch.

British fighters need to put up or shut up. And if Calzaghe or Hatton don't fight anyone of credibility anytime soon, I will consider them fakes.
It's a pretty much known fact that British fighters aren't as tough as American fighters. Growing up in the streets of let's say London (do cops have guns?) like Nigel Benn claims is no where near as dangerous as growing up in the streets of Detroit. Like James Toney did. Not only that most British fighters are seriously overrated by the British public. So they get really protected. Easy opposition. Bogus titles. Bias referee. All that S*** is not provided for them in America.
You don't have to go across the pond to find fighters fighting easy opposition, bias judges and referess, and bogus titles....
Yeah you right. But fighters like Mayweather or Jones don't have there own ref in there pockets like Hatton or Calzaghe do.

ARE YOU CRAZY MOTHERFUCKER
lol the streets of london are as crazy as anywhere else mann!!
people get killed beaten stabbed raped abducted all the time just like any other large city...
most big city's and capitals etc .. they all have ghetto's!!
lol peace
I'm pretty sure it is
yeh of course thats it, every british fighter has a referee in theyr pocket,
give me three examples of how ricky hatton for the sake of arguement, of how ricky hatton.. has had a referee in his pocket and had any favours?

and also have you been to both the roughest spots in london and detroit?
fair enough im not ssayin that detroit or wherever in america .. etc is not rougher then a motherfucker?
im not saying that, but it aint fair to say that places in england are all nice and aint no places anywhere near as rough as america etc..
what is it based on? i mean the sole reason that maybe 1 in 10 fighters that are good boxers and tough guys is simple... one theres ten times as many people in america...
two.. theres alot of skilled fighters in england that can only fight in england or europe,
and the fact is great american fighters are in america and they dont have to go nowhere cos america is where it is at , where the money is at!!
peace
