Fact is, is that most great fighters are unknown in the uk, apart from british ones.
I'm 16, and before i became a boxing fan i didn't know who oscar, klitzkcho, hopkins, roy jones, floyd mayweather, or any big fighter's around were.
I don't have sky, so boxing is not on any of the channels. Even now, i am forced to download fights in order to know whats happening today in the world of boxing.

Over here in England we only see football, tennis, snooker (don't think the yanks have heard of that) and atlhetics.

Hell!, i didn't evem know who Joe Louis was a couple of years ago.
