    Does it matter to you what race a fighter is??...

    Personally i m getting a bit sick of all the racial threads that have been flooding the forum recently..

    Now i m wondering does it really matter to YOU if a fighter is white, black, green, blue, orange?? For me it doesnt, i ve not got a racist bone in my body and i dont care where a fighter is from or what colour his skin is...if hes a fighter that excites me then i like him....

    Is it the same for YOU? If not and u do dislike a fighter(s) because of his race, please explain..

    Generaly no. I do feel more comfortable rooting for a fighter that speaks the same language as I.

      Race CAN be used for good.

      Like interracial born- "Blacks and Racks", "My Mom's ****ing Blackzilla", etc...

      Right there, you have black folks unselfishly degrading themselves and allowing themselves to be marketed as the sexual predators, all so spotty white men can wank off.

      Good **** right there.

          I don't get why people have to back up a race or a country. It's ****** and petty. I'm white mother ****er and I root for Miguel Cotto who is not American and my favorite fighter have been black. Who gives a **** where they come from or what they look like. I hate when people think fighters represent you, they dont represent **** they rep their selves. Some people need to get a life cause they have this belief in their head that they must be number 1 at all costs.

              i feel that a fighter can be whatever colour, if i like that fighter and his style, i will support him.

              example: i'm a black man, my favorite active fighter is Margarito, i have watched him a long time now, and i think he is a good fighter. not a bum or scrub like i see most call him, but hey that just me.

              since i'm new here, i guess i will give a list of my favorite fighters, i have 6.
              1) gerald "G man" mcclellin(hope i spelled that right, to bad he got hurt in the ring, that was a sad day for me)
              2) tito trinidad(i loved tito's seek and destroy style, but he need to just sit down now)
              3) margarito(die hard margo fan since the first time i saw him fight)
              4) frankie randall( a great fighter that doesn't get the respect i feel he should)
              5) stevie johnston(yeah i know he just got knocked out on friday night fights, but back in his prime at 130, he was a beast, and one of the best boxers i had seen, plus from my home town)
              6) james tony(glad to see him back the other night)

              as you see i have a good mix of favorite fighters.

              oh and i will put pac-man and pavlik on my, they might make it on the list of favorites section. love the way they fight.

                No it doesn't matter to me at all. I like guys because I like the way they fight and even then I just don't like guys that go toe to toe or just box.

                  It doesn't matter to me what race a fighter is.

                  I will never root for a fighter who has weak moral character, or for anyone who fights dirty or is otherwise a poor sportsman.

                  Manny Pacquiao is a different race than I am, but I like him because he's an exciting fighter and seems to be a man of strong character. He's a good sportsman who respects his opponents - you never hear him come out with childish trash talk like Haye or Mayweather.

                    Absolutely not , it has never come into it with me , every body on this planet should be judged only on their own merit , to favor and pre judge someone based on where they came from is so irrational and ignorant at the same time.
