Ok Calzaghe Haters What Does He Need To Do In Jones Fight To Get Respect!

[kingfrnk]

seems people thnk calzaghe didnt meet anyone decent in his defences, is the thought he should of been in the states years ago defending?because that is bollocks, dont remember RJJ or b-hop defending in britain!

Since when has Britain been the hotbed of World boxing ever ?
THAT COMMENT IS BOLLOCKS.

ha ha sorry man that came accross wrong, i meant that american fighters often never defend outta america, not that i think they should defend in briatain all the time. plus hatton & calzaghe get crowds off 55,000+ in britain, thats impressive dont u think?

yea its impressive but u must remember that hatton and JC are the only most popular fighters in all of Britian. so its much easier to draw a bigger when those are the most popular guys in the country. but america has alot of popular fighters but theres too many fights here.

Mmmm, but there is still no fighter in the US that can draw a 55k crowd barring ODLH even if the fight was free...

Exactly. The pulling power they have is immense regardless of where they are from.

True but america has so many fighters like, pavlik, bhop, taylor, shane mosley, roy jones, even tarver. but american cant all go to there fights because theres just to many. but when you have JC and hatton having 4-6 fights a year its much easier to support them since its not that many fights.

Think about the respective population sizes of the US and the UK and then think about the comparative numbers of notable fighters from each country. The numbers are pretty comparable really. There is a reason Pavlik and Hopkins didnt fight in a US stadium. Two top level fighters, but it wouldnt have sold out.

But (and this is an edit) of course, the UK is a tiny place in comparison. But I dont think American fighters generally have the same level of support in terms of going out and supporting their fighter.
