Are you nationalistic when it comes to boxing?

[Build That Wall]

No. But I will 99.9% of the time root for the American

[Earl-Hickey]

To an extent yes, generally i like to see fighters from the uk do well, for a few reasons, first most being that it means more guys from my country will get into the sport so it's better for exposure to the sport in the uk.

But I don't blindly support british fighters. Amir Khan and Kell Brook right now are trying my last nerve, I can't stand Tony Bellew, and there are others i'm not a fan of.

Also many of my favorite boxers are from overseas, i like Kovalev, Golovkin, Crawford for example.

The main boxers i don't like has nothing to do with their nationality but their personality or style in the ring. See: Andre Ward.

Personality of chalk and boring in the ring

Only one keepin it real in here. Appreciate your honesty.

It's what they claim on the census man. Nobody made it up for them. 75% tick White.

i think they're going by their skin color. There is more white or light skin Puerto Ricans compared to black or dark skin ones. So if I had to pick, I would pick black but that doesn't mean I'm claiming to be black. Lol just that I guess I fall into that group due to my skin color. The ppl picking white are light skin but I don't think they consider themselves to be white. White like European. I think we have a confusion between us as far as the goes.

They don't give you guys good choices really. At least they gave the Hawaiians an Islander/Hawaiian choice lol.

Just wait till you guys become a State then maybe it'll be easier to define you guys. I don't know anything about Puerto Rican history but I assume classifying by color is just a dumb idea since most of countries around the Americas had brown skinned indigenous people then boats with Africans probably landed as well as European explorers visiting.

Color is meaningless.

I can cheer for anyone with a good stills and style, but I will root for the home team if I can. Its good to support your family, and a country is a big family.

Lol I didn't even think they went about it like that tbh. Kinda surprised they used such a ****** format to try and define the people on the island.

Yeah it is a ****** format. Imagine if they brought African labor to the Philippines when it was a U.S. territory.

It would of made it just as hard to define the people there, I know Filipinos whiter than Malignaggi and Filipinos as dark as Mayweather.

In DR, people choose to say mixed (73% claim to be mixed), because it is true. There is Native(Taino which also populated PR pre-Columbus), there is of course the invasion of the Spaniards raping the women and killing off the men, and then the French. And then the Haitians took over, that's where the black comes from, then the Spaniards took over again until we broke away from them. So we are mostly mixed. Cuba, DR, PR are mostly mixed, but PR has more white than DR and Cuba because the Spanish invasion in PR was much, much longer than in DR. It was like over 400 years, 100 years longer than in DR.

The REAL question to be asked on here that many people will FAIL if they are being honest is this:

Have you ever watched a fight and wanted one guy to lose or win, based on his race, color, or nationality? I can honestly say no I have not. How many people can be 100% honest and say the same thing. It is a fact that some people on here will only support fighters from their country, or their color, or their nationality, without exception.

I would say yeah but not in a demeaning way. Only if its a card with a bunch of Mexicans vs Ricans.

I'll start feeling bad for them if like 3 out of 4 Puerto Rican guys get knocked out
