    Rooting for your fellow country man is understandable.

    Only supporting and rooting for boxers of a certain skin colour or nationality and non other (which happens on here) is strange IMO. I don't see it as enjoying the sport to the fullest if you look at it that way.

      No shit?

      Name one current top American fighter who is "white" (other than Danny)...

      "...pride, not genetics", doe...

          Nail on the head.. Agree 100%.

          I'm American but I won't support all American fighters just because of nationalism, ethnicity/skin color, or whatever. This is a hurt sport but also entertainment. If you cannot, or refuse to entertain the fans because you are too worried about losing your "0", and your dreams of becoming the next "money may", then I won't support you no matter where you're from.

              Pretty sure American boxing fans aren't criticized simply for liking black boxers. Maybe you mean those fans who only like black boxers.

                So we aren't allowed to root for American fighters because currently none of the top ones are white?

                Do you realize how ****** that sounds to those of us who aren't hung up on race?

                    Absolute bullshit. I did in fact get behind Cornflake, I dare you to run a Boxing Scene search for my screenname and Cornflake LaManna. See what you find. I expect a full and public apology once you're done.

                    You guys that always hate on black boxers can't get it through your pea brains that other people aren't obssessed about skin color.
