Is it wrong to root for a fighter just because he is the same race or ethnicity?

[sicko]

None. Read my post more carefully!

I don't mind black fight fans rooting for black boxers. I've never said it's unfair. I've always praised The Big Dunn for loving and supporting his own people.

I don't like self-righteous jackasses saying white people can't root for their own as well. That's what's unfair and a double standard.

You of all people on this forum... Especially you focus a lot of your attention on what OTHERS think and it always seems to be about Black Americans and who they're rooting for and what they think it is a bit of a weird fetish to be honest

So basically you want Black Americans to like Eastern European Fighters just as much as you do right? not sure what you and others are trying to do here exactly

You post stuff like "EASTERN EUROPEANS ARE TAKING OVER AND BLACK BOXING LEGENDS ARE OVERRATED" so how dare you of all people on this forum try to tell others how they should react or what they should think about others

People like YOU start threads and celebrate when someone beat a Black American fighter but when Crawford whipped Postol ass I did not see "Black American Beat Overrated Eastern European Fighter" Threads like the stuff you and others do

[Raggamuffin]

Yeah, they just tossed him in jail for no reason lol!

That kid is lying, imagine being a low life scumbag beating up your kids mother infront of him lol what a pathetic person but you're the same person who says fuq it though that's him outside of the ring I still want to fanboy over him

You'd think there was no other good fighters about I don't see many people defending Edwin Valero or still ranting and raving about how good he was he might have been a fun fighter to watch but scum is scum and I refuse to support pieces of shiet unlike you.

If we did a background check on your favorite boxers, I'm sure that a lot of them would not turn out with a squeaky clean image. What you did right here was straight ***. You commented on a situation that you think that you know about, but you don't know anything about, and you don't even know what's going on today with his kids or baby momma. Boxers aren't above us, they are just like us. They have problems just like us. So don't ever put them on a pedestal, and speak from a self righteous point of view. You might be in jail right now posting on Non Stop Boxing as we speak.

No, of course not.

Where do you get that idea?

I've never posted that.

Some like Mayweather are overrated, but I think Langford and Armstrong are 2 of the 3 best ever, and I've said so many times.

I'm a fair man.

that's my point to bro...what is it with these posters on this site that nit pick and choose who they want to play judge with

the same idiots who trashed mayweather and other fighters, looked the other way when fighters they liked commited crimes or did unsavory things.....i.e. manny pacquaio cheating on his wife, kids on the side, ******** problem, etc.

I leave athletes personal life's where they belong.....at home in private with their family and lawyers

no body is perfect and everyone on this site has done something or another they are not proud of.

... I used to root for Bute, of course -- up to the moment when I realized how hugely protected he actually was...

He would've beat Ward tho

Btw, the "escu" is a dead giveaway, I would know

[sicko]

No, of course not.

You're completely full of **** STOP IT, don't make me do a thread search and pull up your BS and expose it all

You're a Hypocrite and you want it both ways, you want to be able to **** on Black American Fighters but yet you want Black American Fans to like Eastern European fighters and hold them to high regards like you do and that will NEVER HAPPEN!

[MDPopescu]

No giveaway here... It's my name, I live in Bucharest...

It's true that most of the Mayweather fans hate Loma, and most of the Walters fans hate GGG. It's also true that the Mayweather fans love Walters.

But I don't let that bother me, I expect it. If they want to hate Loma because he's white or hate GGG because he's not black, that's their choice.

I don't hate any fighter unless they are of bad character or are cheaters. I do root for my own race.

Truth is, human beings usually root for their town, family, country, and race in sports. It's natural and instinctive to do so. Everybody does so except for a few priggish white people who feel they are special and morally superior.

I must be one of those white people. I don't support my country in international competitions or stuff of that sort, but I don't support any others either, I just have no reverence for the specific patch of dirt I happened to be born on, not that their success wouldn't make me happy it's just I don't actively pursue it.

I'm more attracted to specific characters and style when it comes to sport. I'm a white guy from Dublin, Ireland but I love Broner's ***** talking the same way I love Conor Mcgregor's ***** talking(may be a bad example because I feel they even fight similar, or as similar as a boxer and mma fighter can whilst being opposite stance).

I think GGG, Kovalev, Ward are all kinda boring tbh. I prefer guys like Linares, Guzman, Canelo, Chaves, Frampton, Broner who throw fast flashy but intelligent combos.

When I was a kid, my favorite wrestlers? Jeff hardy and The Rock. I just never "got" that kinda pride feeling thing.... Maybe it's Irish insecurity or something lol

I for one give absolutely no fu(ks about what Floyd does in his personal life. He had the defense of a god and a right hand guided by Zeus and that's all that should matter on a boxing website. There are many women issues forums you could go discuss this on if it interest you.

I don't want that at all.

And I agree with you, it will never happen.
