Are you biased towards fighter's of your OWN race or impartial and can appreciate the talent in every race?
If you're the latter, I'm willing to bet my house you're a far happier person!
I support fighters based on skill, work ethic, and personality above all else. Honestly, I’ve always thought sports are a lot more enjoyable when you’re impartial, seeing talent from all races and backgrounds makes the experience richer. People who focus only on race often end up missing the beauty of competition itself. It’s like flipping through channels on FETV, you find classics from every era, each with its own charm.
I like whatever boxer, I admire as an individual i.e. Because of their character and personality.
Note: And for the most part of my lifetime, those fighters have been African American fighters. But the most recent fighters I have supported and admired are David Haye the British former Unified Lineal Ring Magazine Cruiserweight and Heavyweight World Champion. And David Price a former Olympic Bronze Medallist and British, Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion'.
Since the retirement of David Haye, I have not really built a strong rapport with any fighter 'this has predominantly been a conscious decision of mine. Quite simply I don't really think many fighters compare to David Haye's ambition or maverick attitude in the game, especially within British Boxing. And that goes for both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, I think Haye skill for skill was more talented than both of those fighters and pound for pound overall he was a better fighter'.
A fan base of a fighter can sometimes effect may decision to support that fighter 'Tyson Fury's fan base throughout the years has altered dramatically. Once upon a time, people would openly mock Fury and his gypsy heritage. And then when they saw that he was winning at World and Elite level, those same people within the UK, decided to support Tyson Fury. I have always believed that Tyson Fury has been aware of this, and that is why he does play games and has no issue with turning himself into a heel during his boxing career'.
To conclude: But overall I am not a group think individual, therefore? I don't just side with a athlete or boxer because they are from a certain country or town. And I definitively don't just support a fighter when they are winning, or considered what is hot right now in the game. If I am intrigued by a fighter and their story, I will most likely support them throughout their entire career win or lose until there is no more. And they have retired' etc.Black Dave was a precursor to
Buff Guy Yarde
Buff Guy Dubois
Buff Guy Joshua
the BBC british boxing philosophy be muscular with a sexy body even at the expense of boxing skills!

Top Soviet Bivol went from a boxer-punch to pure box. Beating Artur twice were tremendous learning experiences. We’ll see if Bivol uses the knowledge to add counterpuncher to his repertoire:cool:
I'm a big fan of the heavyweights and I want the World Champion to be American. Nothing present prestige and power more than the U.S of A. So naturally, a World boxing Champion from let's say....California fits the bill. So I'm a fan of Richard Torrez, Joshua Edwards ,Jared Anderson, and Michael Hunter. I was really emotionally invested into Deontay Wilder when he had his run. I hope he pulls it off against Usyk but I'm a realist and I recognize that he doesn't have the Ukrainian's skill set.
I do like David Benavidez, Ryan Garcia, Shakur Stevenson, Bud, Jamaine Ortiz, Teo, and Barboza jr.
Americans I don't like are Tank, Haney, Keyshawn Davis, Richardson Hitchens, and Edgar Berlanga.
I'm a fan of some of the up and comers such as Delante Johnson, Bruce Carrington, Darius Fulghum, Cayden Griffiths, Ben Whittaker, Moses Itauma, Vito Mielnicki Jr, and more.
I like Tyson Fury, Bivol, Chisora and a few more.
I don't like Canelo and his cry baby fanbase or Usyk.
Rooting for your country is cool but cheering for someone because of skin color is some backwards tribal bs.
I'm probably forgetting a few.
I would say my 3 favorite fighters are Ryan Garcia, Jared Anderson, and Richard Torrez. why dislike Usyk?:thinking::Thinkingo
Faithful Deontay fan is true love for your fellow countrymen
I knew Deontay was going to be undeveloped when he revealed his fighting mindset, "I only need to be perfect for 2 seconds."
Me personally, I root for the Hagler, Nelo, PBF style
Boxer/Puncher-Puncher/boxer
More than a brainless, face first, plodding, fist eater
Not a fan of sanctioned mismatches (Stat padders)Pretty Boy the boxer-punch was my least favorite version
my fav iteration of Floyd was TBE the pure box so from Robert onwards
his father's influence restored his jab and footwork
Floyd was evolving from $ May to TBE in Cotto fight, but Miguel was good enough to force Pretty Boy out in spurts
Pure boxes are so much rarer than boxer-punches when it comes to the highest tier all time guys

A ton of fight fans hate pure boxers
"Why is he running :crying:..........."
The you have nationalistic cvnts who praise a cvnt just because the share the same location on the map
Biases as far as the eye can see
Its fun watching fighters progress and develop, if they keep winning they fight a truly world class fighter for the first time and that is when we see what they're really made of. Those kinds of fights are some of my must see one.
Well said. That type of journey is quite enjoyable.
I mainly support boxers who's styles I enjoy, who fight the best, and might take some consideration for fighters who seem to have good character outside of the ring.
I don't even care about my own white or American-ness so why would I care about anyone elses.Tis is the way
boxing is a sport first not a war
as a box fan loyal to styles first, nation next
Haha it's funny how you've suddenly jumped on Fat Dave's bandwagon following his destruction of Yarde...told you he was GREAT didn't I? :rofl:
Trust me he's the next big Mexican star and will inherit Canelo's massive fan base as Bam Rodriguez is much smaller and fights in a less sexy division.
Re Paneer, I definitely supported him but nothing out of the ordinary.
Good to see Junto on that list...I'm super HIGH on that dude and it could be another razor thin Bivol vs. Beterbiev clash between him and Inoue.Fat Dave a PPV seller

No, nationalism is not normal. Patriotism is normal. They are not the same thing.
so americans dont think they are better at doing 'stuff' than other countries? odd since they are always boasting about it including its leaders

Totally agree...I love puncher's hence I can appreciate the likes of Tank, Inoue, Beterbiev etc. However, I also appreciate the slick styles of the likes of Crawford, Usyk & Bivol too.
only someone with a brain disease would think this?
nationalism is considered normal, its actually important for a countries citizens to have it & as for racial bias pretty much everyone has some level of racial bias whether its just the very normal leaning for example among boxing fans towards people who look like u or who are like you or who u identify with, people are not like that android data from star trek

SKills, not SKin.
Haha I like it...I adopt that ethos in my personal life too and it makes life go by much more smoothly. Human beings respond to warmth and positivity not fear and hate.
My four favorite active fighters are Crawford, Bam, Inoue, and Usyk in that order.
Nationalism and racial bias are brain diseases.
Well said...it's OK to support your favourite fighter or even your own race, however, when you start disrespecting other fighter's just because of their nationality you've crossed the line.
Fair enough...I grew up in the era where Black American fighter's were the dominant force but that has definitely changed in recent years. Nowadays, the Eastern Europeans & British fighter's are winning more often than not as are the Mexicans. It's good to appreciate the talent in every race just like the beautiful women in every race.
Bivol is my favourite boxer right now too although Crawford, Usyk & Inoue are not far behind.Pirog is black in the shoulder, Top Soviet Bivol is black in the feet:cool:
