      Froch is half polish, and Brook is half Nigerian i think

      That's like saying Danny Garcia, that Diaz kid from the Olympics and paulie M aren't American.

      Not sure what you're getting at.

        No trick, just curious.
        I don't think in those terms. I find it odd how people (mostly from other countries) feel so compelled to support their home team. I don't think someone from your country or race can validate you as a human being.

              At least you understand that the "fighter" in the question posed by the OP is singular, not plural.

              I (would) agree with your pick.

                What british fighter are you the most proud of???

                Mine for America right now is Austin Trout. I love Andre Ward, but he pissed me off when he didn't go to 175 to fight Dawson.

                  I think it's a no-brainer for most Brits right now, Carl Froch.

                      Yeah Froch is probably the best british fighter right now.
