It's because we're good at Boxing and bad at MMA, other than the Bisking, who is the undisputed GOAT MW.

The British homerism in the boxing thread is so outrageous it's unbelievable at times.

I do often feel like I'm living in crazy land when im at the pub at people genuinely think Amir is going to beat Álvarez because of his speed or something, the boxing thread is a reality check in to make sure im not insane.

When you're as chinny as Amir Khan, you're never safe. Remember him getting dropped in a tune-up against Willie Limmond back when he was an up and comer. He needs to fight Kell Brook while there's interest.

There's a difference between rooting for hometown fighters and ignoring reality.

I remember watching Hatton Vs Mayweather and being bemused people thought Hatton was a sure favorite.
