I think this is a good discussion thread. Good to get away from nationalistic pride for a second.
Personally here i fighters i like to watch. With fighters and with sports teams i really cant root for ones i dont have some sort of connection to. Therefore the following fighters, arent my favorites using the definition that id be upset if they lost. But a more accurate definition is that they are fighters i look forwards to watching each time out.
David Haye, Tomasz Adamek, Chad Dawson, Glen Johnson, Tavoris Cloud, Kelly Pavlik, James Kirkland, Ricky Hatton, Devon Alexander, and Michael Katsidis,
Horrible idea for a thread. You are under the notion that most of us cheer for or are naturally in favor of fighters just because they look like us. I dont think most of us are like that at all. Just a few loud homo's on here. Pride in your people is one thing, but some of the shit on here sounds like 2nd graders were turned loose with keyboards. I couldnt give half a shit if a fighter is American when I figure out who to cheer for. Not because I lack "pride" in Americans or not because I "dont understand" but because Im not guided by stupid shit. As far as race goes, I have never said what I am on here (although Ive had people assume Im just about everythin based on what I post) and it's because it doesnt ****ing matter. People who are all up the ass of fighters because they are from the same race are retarded and childish.
And whys that???
Im italian. who is there really? pep, marciano, lamotta, mancini, graziano etc..
and nowdays who.. zag is half italian, im not a calzaghe fan, and there is malignaggi, who turned crap after winning the belt.

Pavlik, JMM and Juanma Lopez, Cotto's exciting to watch too.
