    Saying about Britts loving their sportsmen, thats not always true, they have to earn it otherwise they are despised, like Khan is.

    Eubank used to be until he was humbled in his last few fights and then people got behind him.

    I know I used to hate Calzaghe and alot of people here think im a fan but he has earned that respect out of me, at first I couldnt see the big deal, I remember when Eubank was gonna fight him and id watched his televised fights leading up to that, he fought some south American bloke and slapped him around with arm punches till the ref jumped in and I thought "big deal, Chris will eat him up" Then fuuck me if he doesnt drop Eubank in the first and just works and works and works Chris over!!

    The Kessler fight really made me admire him, for all is techinal defficiencies he fights like a man who has to win and thats whats got him where he is, no complacency, working hard every round of every fight.

    Hatton gets respect because he is so fan friendly and accessable, he also used to throw some nice combinations that caught the eye, like Tysons old right hook, jump to the left then right uppercut, I used to dislike him as well and wrote him off in the Tszyu fight but anyone who can work Tszyu over like that and take his power has a bit of something, look what Tszyu had just done to mitchell!!

    Haye is yet to really earn any sort of following at the moment he bugs me, gives it all the chat but has already been shown up by an old Thompson, he may win me over in a heavy title fight but I have a feeling he wont

    If Froch was to beat Kessler then he may win me over also but again, I dont see it happening.

    I used to hate Hamed with a passion but as soon as he went to America, I actually found it funny that he still acted the wanker, fought like a diick and still knocked out a few good names, like he could just fight how he wanted and find some power, until he met Barrera that is

    No shame in that though really, as Hamed was shown to be poorly prepared but he never took the rematch so must have robbed him of his confidence but I think if hed have actually boxed instead of believing his power would get him through I think he could have done Barrera, Marco has said that Hamed was stronger than Pac and when you see his legs its not hard to believe but his stupidity and arrogance with his power made him so easy to hit and he was always off balance and made to look stupid all the time but thats why I found it funny, he could do that and get away with it for a while
    Who said anythign about UK fighters? Perhaps another blog?
    This is a blog-jack of all blog-jacks
    "Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."

    Yes it would be Mosley minus the steroids

    Pavlik was on verge of being it and hopefully he can still get there - seems like an all round nice guy and exciting fighter with a hell of a punch.
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    Mosley I HOPE! He is a happy, go lucky fella who always has a smile on his face, he is humble and respectful and from that list he is the obvious choice.

    People who think Hopkins best represents their country have a low opinion of the US. He is a gobby, cocky loud-mouth Kunt!

    Tell us how ya really feel Kel ....What exactly is 'Gobby' ?

    Im split on Hopkins and Mosley.Mosley is an all around class act inside and outside of the ring.I'll leave the steroids maybes and maybe not for those that want to flaunt it.A very reserved guy though but clearly not all about himself compared to Hopkins.

    Hopkins ,while fully content to stroke his own ego,also shows that a once street tough can come from the lowest of depths and stacked odds,commiting a crime...doing his time and never repeating his errors.Maintaining tip top form of mind and body in chossen profession,earning his millions at it and defying the odds makers and doubters when many had written him off....insert rolling eyes anywhere lol....but clearly yeah,quite a cocky dude.Trashing the flag of Puerto Rico was crappy also.

    Sorry, it's a British word for people who back-chat or talk in a negative way towards someone else.

    'Gob' is another word for mouth (at least it was up North when I lived in Bradford)

    I think Kelly Pavlik for the sheer level of support he is able to generate, even if he isn't the best boxing representative, I think he's the guy who if he fought abroad would have fans flyin round the world to see him

    Ok I just read the sub-headline sayin who was America's Hatton hence my vote for Pavlik. The man in terms of ability is between B-Hop & Shane, I'd just side with Hopkins
