    Agree. It's human nature. You want the guy that looks like you to win. You don't want to see someone that shares the same ancestral blood as you, get beat down, or lose.

      Well I have at least 1 atg, closer to 3 in 3 islands and about 45 square miles combined. I'd say that's not too bad.

      But I'd say it's because I don't live like a caveman more than my motherland though.

          I enjoy a little bit of everything. sometimes ill look threw my dvds depending on what im in the mood for. A tactical match, or a slugfest. I do gravitate towards a boxer puncher. And i do admire someone with a strong jab.

            Were you a fan of Julian Jackson when he was active?

                I would tend to disagree, but deep inside most people probably favor fighters who look like themselves to some extend.

                Margarito was a great fighter.

                  fighting with passion
                  they can box technically, throw in volume, hit with power, whatever
                  but fight hard all the time and make it exciting
                  technically, fighters don't have to show off, they just have to win
                  but it's nice to see guys be conscious of giving the fans a show

                    I like classic boxers who you can literally learn from just by watching their fights. Fighters like: Ward, Mayweather, Hopkins, Marquez, Donaire.

                      I liked Holyfield. A warrior with a sound skill set.
