In Boxing, which Nationality is most DISRESPECTED??

[BigStereotype]

Brit **** are most disrespected with their glass chinned hypejobs.

You've got some nerve saying that with Dirrell in your avatar.

[khepesh]

I don't care where from, which color or why.

A good boxer is a good boxer.

**** nationalism and racism, it's total bull**** in a person's head!

What the hell has nationality to do with anything. I hate posters who are always repping their country and have usernames and avvys to do with them. :bamad:

It does seem that us British fellows do get a bit of a raw deal here, even excepting Haye (who deserves every criticism he gets). Look at Froch, who's finally starting to get some grudging respect, but only after going on one of the most insane runs of tough opponents in recent memory. Before that he was ridiculed for no good reason that I can see save that he often won ugly in close fights. Then there's Hatton who's still called a bum by many people despite the fact that he was an undisputed 140lb chammp who beat beat Tszyu and Castillo and whose only losses came to the current and former P4P no. 1's. Yet you hear idiots talking about him in the same breath as Micky ****in Ward. Jesus Christ. And then of course, there's Calzaghe whom I can remember defending back in the Lacy days. Time hasn't done anything to dampen the ire of his many detractors since then, and doesn't look like doing so any time soon.

I know a lot of my countrymen can have a bit of a victim complex, and end up looking like paranoid knobends sometimes, but our fighters do get a lot of unwarranted hate. Come on, you 'orrible Yanks, big it up for the Brits! You know you want to!

*** Haye though, he's a p*ssy.

white..and all disrepect is by black people.....double standard..hopkins can say a white will never beat a black....but can you imagine if i say that a lot of black fighters are either in jail or dont have any discipline(kirkland,butler,judah,..etc)..im just saying....

STFU....you sound like a b!tch

I don't think that there's any nationality that gets disrespected. I do think there are some cultures or countries that aren't viewed as good fighters.

Not a lot of Middle Easterners, Indians, Pakistanis that are really seen as good fighters. I know there's been Naz and now Khan but for the most part you don't see many people from that part of the world in boxing, I guess it's just cultural.

That's not disrespect so much as lack of exposure. If people watched more amateur boxing they'd soon see that there's some kick ass dudes coming out of South Asia.
