Is nationality the main criteria in determining whether you like a boxer?

      I root for exciting fighters plain and simple. I also tend to root especially hard for guys who prove me wrong or perform much better than I expect. For example, I knew very little about Glowacki and figured Huck would beat him rather easily, but Glowacki turned me into a big fan with his performance and now I follow him closely.

      Only difference is the olympics, where I root for American fighters. But if you're talking pro boxing, nationality makes no difference to me. My current favorite fighters are from all around the world.

        I just don't like fighters who hold and headbutt.

              Considering the fact that there isn't any world champion coming from my country, i am not biased to any country, if i like a fighter i like him, i like hundreds maybe even thousands of fighters from all around the world.

                Looks like most would sooner watch an exciting boxer from somewhere else than a boring boxer from their home country.

                  I prefer boxers, whether their name is Andre Ward, Floyd Mayweather, Gvozdzyk or Rigondeaux.

                  I hate brawlers whether their name is Stevenson, Pacquiao, Porter or Thurman.
                  King Hippo was a brawler ,you have the wrong screen name if you hate them!

                    English, white and Mayweather is my favourite fighter. So no.

                      I like certain styles and if they're exciting to watch.

                      ...that and if they're cute.
