As for the name Floyd, over here we have a TV chef by that name and much like your's he's a natural pain in the a**, so i will refer to the American one as Mayweather.
I have no doubt that like 75% of you Mayweather is so insular, he doesn't possess a passport.
It is only in your own minds that Mayweather like Jones and most other American fighters are deemed pound for pounders. Most of these have been masters at hand picking opponents, cheating ( think Roy Jones and his positive drug test) manipulating judges and referees ( try Eugena Williams ) and generally talking twice as much as you listen, even though you have two ears and only one mouth.

Hatton has said he will give Collazo a rematch, and being the gentleman he is he probably will, but it does not need to be an immediate rematch, because some whinny little idiots in America say so. Get this you do not count anymore in the world of boxing.

The eastern Europeans are making huge inroads in your sacred Heavyweight division. South,and Central Americans and Asian's are dominating the lower weights, and quite frankly Ricky Hatton can sell more tickets at the live gate than any American fighter in his own back yard( 18,000-22,000 ) every time he fights he just wants to prove to the world that he will fight all comers anywhere which is more than can be said for the so called elite of America.
Well listen Newbie this isint US vs The world so chill on the nationalistic BS!!!! Sadly Enough Hatton and Calzaghe are IMO the only worthwile thing in Uk right now you have to cheer for in Boxing so Naturally He will fill an arena up compared to most in the US...I love the England visited and stay with family and love The UK boxing fan you guys are very zealous and proud I respect that but I hate all this nationalistic country vs country racist crap..Stop hating on Floyd and his persona I doubt that ALL the European and Uk fighters dont talk smack to promote there fights..

Oh just one more thing.....as far as the US not counting in boxing anymore.."A BIG OL "

Ignorance at its best
Good post, you're right.........To much nationlism, boxing dosen't need it.
