Does the nationality of a boxer matter to you?

[The Noose]

For example, would the heavyweight division be more attractive if all the champions were American?

Surely it just comes down to their style and skill as a fighter.

For me, living it the UK, it never mattered. I always wanted Tyson to beat the **** outa Bruno, and was never a huge fan of Lewis. It just came down to styles.

I don't care where a fighter is from really, but because of some of the anti-euro twats on here i sometimes love to see american fighters get it handed to them.

yes and no, i probably wouldnt follow amir khan as fervently or put up with crap
like audley harrison if they werent british but theres plenty of brit fighters i hate
like junior witter and theres plenty of other fighters who i love from elsewhere.

It doesnt bother me at all. Although if Wlad was lets say, a white American, he would be one of the most popular athletes in America.

for me it part of it yes i would be lieing if i said no.

i usually connect more with boxers who are arab or ******s

[Jim_Davis]

Not really. It's just being in the UK I grow up seeing more British fighters from when they first start out.

I don't care where a fighter is from. I like Lewis, Wladimir, Hatton, Tszyu, Peter, Tua, Hopkins, Johnson (Glen), Pac, Barrera just to name a few. There's fighters all over the world that I love to see fight and that I'm fans of.
