I'll only bang on about British fighters if I genuinely think they are world beaters, which the 2 you've mentioned are. I don't go overboard about people like Clinton Woods or Scott Harrison and alot of my all time favourite fighters are from the US; SRL, Tyson, Hagler, Hearns.

.Eye.Oh.When. 06-23-2005, 02:55 AM Personally.. I like Jermain Taylor cuz he don't talk a lotta **** and he just goes out and wins. Really like his fighting style too. Watch some of his past fights and you'll know what I mean. He seems more down to earth than a lot of those ****y ****s too.
But then again I am a Floyd Mayweather fan also and he is the exact opposite. But he is dominant and will never lose. I like his sense of humor. Lol.

thank you. :boxing:
chito 06-23-2005, 07:17 AM I like a certain boxer because of: #1. skills; 2) wits inside & outside the ring; 3) courage & determination. Could be just only one, if a certain fighter has one of the three, i will surely root for him regardless of race & religion.

Ah, boxingscene.com. What would I do without my daily shot of class and decency before work?
comon its in the nature of sport to root for your own.
why root for your country in a soccor, rugby world cup etc.
I guess and dont take this the wrong way, as america plays team sports that only America plays (the the **** you get away with calling it world series baseball when only you guys play is beyond me) or the US footie, which effiectively you guys only play to that standard then maybe its a little alien to you.
mnot im not ciriticinsg here just making an observation.
being brought up on soccor rugby and cricket in britain you always root for your own.
however most people appreciate sports skills irrespective of race, the french world cup winning football side for example were class, the aussie cricket team class, NZ /AUSSIE RUGBY TEAMS BUT WOULD YOU HEAR ME SHOUTING FOR THEM OVER ENGLAND NOT ON YOUR LIFE.
so could be a cultural thing with sports, boxing is a bit different as a solo sport, but the brits tend to back the brits where they can for the reasons I believe captured above.
plus us brits love an underdog. :boxing:

JUYJUY 09-20-2005, 01:53 PM People from England worship Lennox lewis and Joe Cal***gie
Uhh.. a Canadian and a WELSHMAN :confused:
I don't think so.

I just wanna kno why people like fighters for these reasons....Race & Location?This is a great thread. Good karma for you. I agree with everything you said. Most people like to pull for their country man or race etc. I personally not one of these people. I don't care about the race or country a boxer is from. Maybe it's because I come from 2 different races. Also I have no problem if a person pulls for their country man. What makes an homer is this. Let's say if a Mexican person is a fan of Mayweather, but when Mayweather fights a Mexican then he's against Mayweather, that's what makes you an homer.
Kimmy 09-20-2005, 02:14 PM The pretender likes boxers because he is sexually attracted to them.
its called patriotisme, luckily (ore unluckily) there are no great fighter from my country.
i still favour europeans a little though.
but my biggest hero`s are still all americans simply cause they are the best.
Pac Man Fan 83 09-20-2005, 02:57 PM Maybe it is because I am a white American and there is really not a boxer that fits those guidelines for me to nut hug, but I have noticed the race/country of orgin thing too.
As for me, I just cheer for the guys that I like to watch, Trinidad, Mayweather, Corrales and Lacy are at the very top of that list.
jack_the_rippuh 09-20-2005, 02:58 PM I guess it's just like being a fan of the Minnesota Timberwolves if you're from Minnesota.
Uhh.. a Canadian and a WELSHMAN :confused:
I don't think so.
HOW MANY CANADIANS WERE BORN IN EAST HAM. :rolleyes:
jesus, just cos you dont like lennox you cant wait for a moment to get on his case.
Fact is he is a better champion fought better fighters and is more respected in boxing than Eubank ever can be despite your constant dribble heralding him.
get over it. You sound like a broken bloody record mate.
