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

somewhat...but i like entertaining fighters....id rather watch adrien broner fight over ward and id rather watch gamboa fight over lara/rigo...id rather kirkland/lemieux/stevens over a miguel vasquez

[Sup]

My criteria goes as follows

1. Level of excitement + skill
2. Aggressiveness + knockout ability
3. Race

Nobody likes a boring pitty patting runner.

Most people in here go by race or nationality, for some reason.

[LacedUp]

I root for my own more often that not.

But I don't dislike any fighter because of their nationality, race, colour or creed.

[Weltschmerz]

Kessler wasn't the greatest fighter but I obviously rooted for him. But it isn't just a yes/no question, I like all kinds of fighters, has nothing (or very little) to do with nationality for me.

I think I said it before though; nothing wrong with supporting your own nationality, isn't this a great part of being a boxing fan, anyway? Supporting your (flag) colors? ... that's how it should be, to my mind.

I root for British fighters over foreigners, it doesn't matter who they are.

God save the queen.

[IronDanHamza]

Nationality has no influence what so ever when it comes to who I support.

[Almighty Sosa]

from australia and hell would have to freeze over before id support mundine or green

[Chrismart]

In the most part i root for British fighters when they fight. Skin colour doesn't come into play at all..but i can understand rooting for your own countrymen.

But ultimately, i'd rather watch a guy that i enjoyed watching and who i found exciting (regardless of nationality) over a guy from my own country who i found dull.
