      Not nationalistic at all and a guy I used to work with used to take it too heart, got so much **** off him and he used to try and tell me I wasn't a true Brit and I was being fake because of it .

            Yep. Klitschko, Golovkin, Pac count. They recognize their country's training as inferior.

              I thought he had potential. He has not been very active at all. It's not like he was gettint KO'ed or anything. Javier Fortuna is the only DR boxer doing anythint significant lately.

                I an Canadian and Filipino but I've never cheered for Donaire. I also used to like Stevenson but not anymore with his ducking ways.

                I only like Pacquiao for Filipino boxers and Pascal, Bute, Lemieux for Canadian boxers but my favourites are neither Canadian or Filipino.

                    Probly nationalistic, as I root for pretty much every Ukrainian fighter, but I root for fighters from other countries. My favorite fighters Brook, Spence Jr., Joshua, Crawford, Broner.

                      I'm from the North West of England, so i'm about as unpatriotic as you can get.
                      But the odds are that i will be rooting for a British fighter if he takes to the road. After all, these are fighters that you have watched fight by fight as they have came up through their career. It's not always the case though..i was rooting for Chudinov against Buglioni tonight for example.

                      I don't care where a fighter is from, what colour his skin is, or what language he speaks...if he's an exciting fighter, then i'l root for him.
                      My favourite fighters are from all over the globe. If you limit yourself to only cheering for fighters from your own countries, then you're doing it wrong and missing out on what the sport has to offer IMO.

                      But of course, i root for British fighters.
