I wouldn't necessarily say that they are less passionate than other American fans though. But I think fans in other countries take it as a matter of pride if they are not seriously backing their boys or girls. It just doesn't happen. To me that's the joy of going to a sporting event....the sense that you can be the 12th man...or the 6th man...or whatever the case may be. I dunno how many of you have ever started a rhythmic clap or anything, but it's amazing how agreeable other fans are. If you'll start it off, it will keep going. I'll never understand how LA (coz that's the area I know) fans can be so mellow. Don't they realize that a bit more support for their boys or girls and they'll get even better results? As folks say, people represent....that's what the British fans were doing in Vegas.....yes, it can go too far, especially with the added ingredient of alcohol........but it need not and I can't think of a group who are more eschewed in Britain than soccer hooligans. As a kid, I missed out on European soccer (the highest level) because of the penalties imposed on British clubs because of a riot by British soccer fans in '85 in Belgium. But it needn't go that far, and the vast majority of the time, it doesn't. To me, the relatively mild support offered by American fans speaks to some greater aversion to the athletes they allegedly support. They want them to win but they really won't stand boldly behind them.

I thought that Cortez DID allow Hatton to fight on the inside in the early rounds and was well within his right to break it up more than he did. Hatton was leading in with his head all night. In true boxing "one-for-one" tradition, Mayweather countered with his elbows. Both fighter also snubbed the others faces with their gloves. Cortez let this go on. In fairness to Cortez, it was an incredibly difficult fight to ref. But we all see this same movie quite differently. Hey, maybe we were ALL watching a different fight!

However we will never know what would have happened had Cortez allowed him to fight inside early on this does not mean that Ricky would have won just that I dont feel that Cortez did a great job. I also thought that he should not have come to the corner and told Ricky he nearly stopped the flight I think after the 8th this was a stupid thing to do, I hate fights being stopped too late but Hatton was fighting back Cotez would have been wrong to stop the fight then and by telling Hatton that he was considering may have made him more deseprate. I am not saying that Hatton should have won or could win a rematch I dont think he could Mayweather is just too good, I am not making excuses for Ricky he doesnt need them my point is that Cortez did not do a good job.

In fact, I credit Steward for RUINING boxing to some degree. The last two heavyweight champions of ANY significance are Lennox Lewis and Vladimir Klitchko -- guys who are 6'6', 250, have weak chins, and win by jabbing for 12 rounds. While Steward gets technical credit for helping them overcome their weak chins to win in a safe fashion, boxing is worse for it. Every fight is a broken record. Will the opponent get past the jab... When small guys like Chris Byrd get all scientific and tactical, I respect their savvyness, but when guys who are 6'6 250 have a 218lb. fighter in trouble but refuse to rush their opponent and finish them off (see 1st Lewis-holyfield; EVERY Klitchko fight), then I've got a problem with that. Bad for boxing. I hope that Samuel Peter knocks Vladimir and Emmanuel's boring-ass style into extinction. -- Disagree about Cortez though, i thought he did a poor job and should have been more on top of some of the foul play (Hatton leading with head; Mayweather countering with elbows) -- Oh yeah, Mayweather was simply magnificent. Fought Hatton's style, but somehow didn't get hit. Sheer brilliance. Emmanuel Steward is only good with tall guys with stiff jabs. In fact, I credit Steward for RUINING boxing to some degree.

As for the current heavyweight divion, I think its a mess but getting better. You have the HW coming together. I believe Eddie Chambers is going to fight Chageav, and Ibragimov has agreed to fight the winner of that fight. That leads to two of the four belts merging. All that is left is for Klitchko to fight Peter again, and for the two belt holders to matach up after that. I would agree with you if Hearns wasn’t an amature for so long.
