British fighters will NEVER get the credit they deserve
Sorry to generalize, but it's just the truth.
If either Hatton or Calzaghe was American (in fact not even if they were American, just not if they wer British!!!) no way on earth they would get the disrespect they do. I know there are many great objective posters on here, but still far too many idiots.
Come on how often to 2 prime fighters ever meet - it really doesn't happen that often, so why to the Brits always get the manual of excuses thrown at them when ever they beat somebody.
Make me laught with Tszyu for example, nobody mentioned anything about him being shot before the Hatton fight, people were saying , 'he was fresh as he had only fought once in 2 and a half years', 'he was at his best after destroying Mitchell', 'he had never been in any wars so would not a tired fighter', and of course that 'Hatton had little to chance of winning'
....Hatton wins and then suddenly everybody suspected he may win becuase Tszyu was old and shot (even though he had had less fights than Hatton - and regardless of a reasonable opposition had hardly been to the trenches)
Everybody calls Calzaghe out to fight Lacy and agrees that this is the fight that will prove that he is the man. Lacy is called 'The Middleweight Mike Tyson' touted as the next superstar of Amercican boxing' appears on billboards at Superbowl, and is going to destroy Calzaghe
......... Calzaghe absolutely ruins the guy, and Lacy is suddenly a rookie, wet behind the ears, unproven, overhyped.
..and now Hatton beats Castillo and Castillo is hot aswell!!
JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY WINS A FIGHT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THERE IS SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH THEIR OPPONENT, THEY MAY ACTUALLY HAVE SIMPLY BEEN BEATEN BY THE BETTER FIGHTER ON THE NIGHT!!
So tired of this crap, can't be bothered with any of it anymore
As I said this is not aimed at everybody, just a group of nobbers
