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

[Weebler I]

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.

I'm proud you're proud to be an American, if that helps

Yeah because that is what is happening in Poland

Like I said, just because I have a Polish last name doesn't mean I'm Polish or want anything to do with the Poles. Whatever they got going on over there is fine but I want no part of it. I'm American and am focused on what I have here. Part of the reason I'm in the United States is because my grand parents were smart enough to LEAVE that country. In fact, this is why I believe Americans are brash, ****y and arrogant. We all came from different nations but were smart enough to go out and get more but for some reason we have lost a bit of that.

You just took two statements from two completely different debates. One was talking about how Eastern Europeans completely try to tarnish American boxing. The other was kind of saying that we should stop worrying about where our great grandparents came from and start building our own culture, our own nationality and be proud of what we have here, in America.

No, I'm taking two conflicting statements about the same exact topic,

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

Those conflicting statements made me think you were a bit off, but this,

Point is Mexicans fight at lower weights where real athletes are lacking

just confirms your ******ity.

Like I said, just because I have a Polish last name doesn't mean I'm Polish

Well you are part Polish.

Like I said.

Real Americans are brown.

Not white kids with Polish names.

We took that ****. Took the food and ****d the women. No one said that we were always nice.

I respect you opinion.. But Little guys can and are real athletes also, It has alway been known that heavier weights generate more excitement and are given more importance.. Mexican and Mexican americans will soon be dominating at the higher weight classes, mainly due to the shortage of Black and Anglo American men who are no longer interested in boxing. Look at Chris Arreola, He might not be great but he gave Vitali a good fight and never stopped trying to win unlikeother fighters wh have folded to the Klitschko's. ****t look at MMA, Cain Velasquez is the mosr dominating MMa fighter in the world right now.. Mexicans have the potential to dominate in boxing and MMA in the near future, MAybe all we have to do is eat a whole lot more tortillas and Burritos.. LMAO

Could be right and I certainly root for Mexican Americans.

I'm proud you're proud to be an American, if that helps

It isn't enough. We need more people that are proud to be from this nation. British don't have this problem, we shouldn't either.

[FistOfTyson]

I agree with the OP

Guarantee you , most of the folks on here constantly talking **** about america (and american boxers) while glorifying foreign countries/fighters, live in america themselves.

[The_Demon]

They certainly lack the passion they used too,maybe its something too do with the country generally producing less world class fighters that happen too be warriors also,but its more likely too be something too do with boxing generally being less popular than it once was

America isn't all that. It has it's own problems.

How about the people who are in America don't feel American because there is a mix of other people?

How about people feel they are African American, or Hispanic American, or Irish American, Italian American, or Asian American?

Also since quite a few names are drug users, American people have disowned their own country.

Holyfield, Toney, Jones Jnr etc...

credit to america.

want to know why?

american fight fans enjoy any nationality of fighter who becomes big in america.

pacquiao as an example. many others. imagine if pacquiao became a fan favorite in russia, russians wouldnt support him, theyll be disgusted. most countries are selfish nd ignorant to other races. its great to be behind your country, but i bet you america is completely fine if a fighter or figure from another country becomes a icon in its world. can i say the same for other countries? if im wrong, please enlighten me and ill glady apologize. as good as mayweather has been, cotto, pacquiao, say if they were togo to russia and fight there instead of here, would they be big? no theyll be looked down on. and dont say there big already it wouldnt matter, they got big in AMERICA. would they get big without america and fought in another country?

credit to america.

You weren't there.

It was mainly British taking over and *****, not bloody Poles.
