Are you nationalistic when it comes to boxing?

[bojangles1987]

Not even a little bit. It's funny because such a huge majority of NSB is so nationalistic or downright racist that I've been accused of being just about everything. Black power, white power, foreigner, American biased, Pact@rd, Fl0mo, etc.

No one understands how anybody on NSB can simply hold every fighter to the same standard.

[IronDanHamza]

Not even remotely.

I think he's doing ok, but to call him a warrior which is high praise in boxing is a little too much for me.

Reserve it for when he faces someone who is dangerous or bigger than him.

He's been the favourite in every fight.

So tell me again how much of a warrior he is.

Btw i like Golovkin and i find him exciting so please do say im a 'hater'.

Then we have different ideas of what a warrior is in boxing. To me, you are a warrior if you go balls to the wall against any opponent, it doesn't mean you are a face first brawler, just that you aren't afraid to get into exchanges and you aren't scared of your own blood. Golovkin has proved this.

To me being a warrior or not in the ring isn't relevant to who you have fought. To me the resume aspect serves us well in ranking p4p and comparing careers and resumes, but not courage and heart. Do I want to see GGG fight the very best? Absolutely. Has he? Not even close. But that doesn't mean I can't call him a warrior because of what I have seen him do in the ring, because I can, and will.

there's a diffrence beetwen being an underdog and being a warrior.

martin murray was a huge mw (bigger than ggg), stevens use to fight at smw (dangerous.)

also, if you don't think golovkin is a warrior, watch his fight against ouma.

Being nationalistic when rooting for a fighter is not that bad. It's natural in most cases. Rooting because of race is the worst, which is usually perpetrated by blacks, generally. That's what I've been observing in these forums. Wherever they come from, South Africa, America, Puerto Rico, etc. they always root for their fellow blacks. And their hate on fighters they don't like is vitriolic and horrible.

[Sweet Pea 50]

Yes.................

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

No. Too many boxers to enjoy for that non sense.

Stevens fought at light heavy...a short fat one but a light heavyweight nonetheless.

what "bull****"? Mentioning exciting fighters that no unbiased fan would have a reason to dislike? Please explain.

I am not saying it's wrong to support your nation proudly, but you can support your nation but still support people from other nations as well, soccer/futbol is very different than boxing, I will always support Colombia in the world cup and copa america but that doesn't mean I won't root for Chile if they play Germany or the Korea against the USA, etc.

You can be supportive of your own nation while still remain unbiased when it comes to discussing the sport of boxing. Where I find a problem is, how can you sit there and trash one fighter because they don't fight under the same flag? Supporting a fighter because they represent your country is one thing, but that doesn't mean you have to deny another fighter may be superior, a better fighter, if they fight from elsewhere. Don't you see the difference?

Margarito was a cheater bro. Lol you're over here like they deserve respect from anyone! Hell no!! Nobody knows if he cheated bombs Cotto but I won't put it pass him. And still, he tried to cheat against Shane. He's a coward!! Cheating Boxing is unexcusable!! as for the nationalistic stuff, I don't think see many ppl who root for the people ONLY. I root for my own but I like other fighters too. Kovaelv Russia, Lucas Argentina, Gamboa Cuba, Mares Mexico, Thurman USA, Linares Venezuela, Frampton Ireland, Loma Ukraine etc.

[dirty fingers]

No. I'm an American who likes fighters from anywhere as long as their styles are fun to watch.
