There's great, unbiased, knowledgeable persons on boxing in all countries. There's also many biased ones in all countries, I've merely made the point I think the highest ratio of that is in America, not all. Of course there's many great unbiased ones. I hate generalising dude, it's rarely black or white, it's usually grey.
