I guess American's aren't as biased as Europeans make them out to be.
KSwizzy, if the results were the other way around, would you change your mind and decide that Americans are biased?
oh hell ya. no doubt about it. I'm canadian, what difference does it make to me? in fact, if kirk johnson were to face wlad and canadians voted for johnson, I would definitley say Canadians are biased. I don't depend on nationalism to boost my self-esteem.
It doesnt matter. I just wanted to see if I could vote on one of the polls and I could. It attributed my vote to the American vote and didnt ask what state I was in or anything.
Seriously, you think this is proof? Really?
ok, where do you think I got my stats from? click on the link I posted in the first page. it shows a map of the poll results. there is the TOTAL poll results and there is the INTERNATIONAL(NON-AMERICAN) poll results. I just subtracted the international poll results from the total to get the american results.
that poll is in the boxing section of the espn website(espn.com/boxing). you would have to be reading about boxing to see that poll.

That can be true but the whole system has to be accurate. The fact that I just randomly voted on some American football poll without knowing what it was about shows you the problem.

if anyone knows anything about polling it doesn't matter how many ppl take it afer a certain #, its still accurate percentage and does not change too much when more ppl take it.
This is not really true in this instance
The sample size is too small, and the method is flawed. If you think that the views of 30 New York residents can be used to make a generalisation about the entire state, then you are wrong.
Before acting as if you know what you're talking about, go and research political opinion polls, and try and find one that uses a sample of only 30 people.

spot on. but there's no point in showing a picture to the blind.

I love when DirkDiggler pretends to be objective and not hate Americans but shows up on every thread about Americans like a jealous insecure bitch.
I love how bsrizpac shows up in every thread i post on almost immediately to insult me and not talk about boxing.
Then calls me "jealous" and "insecure". :lol1:
Also what comments were "American-hating"?
I love when kswizzy tries to prove something but fails horrible :lol1:
600 people out of 60 million is enough for him though :dunce:
I just voted on one of those polls. Most of the Yanks that actually voted probably dont even know who Malignaggi is.
You're saying that, apart from me, everyone else in the world would agree that you can judge an entire nation's level of bias on an entire sport simply by looking at the views of 345 people regarding one event?
Please, find me one respected researcher in any field who believes that such conclusions can be drawn from such a tiny sample.
That makes no sense. By your own admission, your accusation is not based upon fact. You accuse people of things because they don't agree with your severely-flawed methodology. Sad.
The sample size is still too small, especially in New York, where there were less than 40 votes when you made your over-generalisation.
so you think that if 10million more ppl voted that the poll would change in malinaggi's favor? I personally don't think so.
if out of 600 americans 70% think hatton is gonna win, that is good enough for me to know that americans are not biased.
its only an obvious flaw to you.

of course I'm making an accusation cuz you are nit-picking.

since yesterday, there have been 300 more votes and the poll is basically the same.
