American fight fans have very litte pride in their fighters or country.

We need to get our back bone back. People are way too nice to other nations and way too critical of our own. Where are all the American flags at international sporting events. Look at how far the Olympics have slipped in the American eye. It wasn't like this in the 60s and I blame it on huge immigration. People that come here aren't proud to be American anymore. They are more interested in making money and shipping it back to Tito. It's time to be proud to be an American. It's time to turn back the clock and make it America versus the world not America versus a certain nation.

The majority of people root for what they identify with, factors are often based on nationalism, ethnicity, places of residence, etc. Your "worldly view" has shown you that the majority of people on the globe are pathetic?

No, actually it has shown me that the majority of people I have met with in the world are nothing like the majority of people on a boxing message board.

You must claw your eyes out of spite whenever FIFA and the Olympics are going down?

Well American is not a real nationality in the way others are.

That's true. And lets also not forget that we are practically an entire continent.

We don't wave flags around unless it's Political and out to demean *******, Socialist, Communist, running for Political Office.

That's a compliment by itself right there. We've got so much **** compared to other countries. Athletes in Basketball, Football, Hollywood Actors, Celebrities etc,. They have one little 5'6 guy dominating in Boxing, and he is a national Hero.

Dominating like Pacquiao as an American won't get you beyond California, yet alone the entire U.S. of A.

WTF so in your opinion no one cares about Mexican fighters because they are smaller???So no one was watching or caring when Morales was fighting Barrera or Juan Manuel Marquez's 2 fights with Pacquiao.. Elite Mexican fighters like Morales, Barrera, JMM, JCC, Salvador Sanchez, Ricardo Lopez were some of the best boxers ever in the history of boxing and had high ratings when they fought, So I dont understand what you are saying?? Maybe you are just racist towards Mexicans or just jealous??? Which one is it???????

You just listed legends of the sport. I don't think Giovani Segura is going to be something special or whoever else you got. Point is Mexicans fight at lower weights where real athletes are lacking, also they fight a lot of their own. Americans fight at higher weights, weights that have real athletes in them, and also are fighting the worlds best(most nations that have good nutrition have bigger men). I respect Mexican boxing but it is overrated in the importance of the sport. Look at the top 50 or so atg fighters in the sport and tell me how many fought under 135?

BINGO!!!

But it is a lot of DIVERSITY IN AMERICAN, so unless the guy is WHITE like Michael Phelps, it is no way the entire country will get behind that one athlete

We are the Entertainment Capital of the World.

We are consumers first, and everything else second. If the American Olympic Gold Medalist BORES us, we **** on him with booo's. No pass for winning the Gold for the country. IT IS WHAT IT IS.

Check is a dumb yank and is bias as any wlad fan.

People look at my last name and say "oh, you're Polish". I always tell them no, I'm American. I know nothing about Poland and don't care to know about it. I'm American, I'm trying to live that lifestyle and be part of this great nation.
