Which country has the most nationalistic d*ckriding fanboys?

[Zn1]

the UK hands down... but in a good way. they support their guy win or lose. a loss to most Americans means the end. if Wilder and AJ were to swap countries Wilder would be the one making all that money. the British have blind support but i respect it. boxing in the U.S. is near fringe level. put it like this if Floyd was a brit he would be even richer.. and protected by all british, criticizing him would be against the law.

This would only be true if Wilder was handled like AJ and won the fights like AJ. 40-0 with 1 test at world level? I accept we'd love the guy but I don't think he'd be a megastar like AJ is currently.

Phillipines and Russia

There's also the fact that AJ won Olympic gold, which means a lot to UK fans. In comparison, Wilder won Olympic bronze.

Aye, even David Price was able to capture Olympic bronze

I'd say it's like a three-way tie between the US, the UK and Mexico

You missed out arguably the worst example of English racism in modern boxing history:

Marvin Hagler vs. Alan Minter.

It was fought in the UK in 1980. After Hagler TKO'd Minter, the racist English hooligan crowd got aggressive and threw beer bottles at Hagler, who had to be protected by his cornermen, before police came in and took Hagler to safety.

There was a big racism problem in the UK back in the '70s and '80s, at the height of the Neo-**** white-power skinhead movement (racist attacks against black & brown people was commonplace back then), before the movement eventually died out in the '90s. And the '90s was also when black & brown British boxing heroes like Frank Bruno, Chris Eubank and Prince Naseem rose to fame, redefining what it means to be a British sporting hero.

So yeah, the UK does have an ugly history, one that is all too often brushed under the rug by Brits today (for example, Brits are generally ignorant about the atrocities of the British Empire). But the UK's ugly history doesn't represent what the UK is today. In this day and age, the UK is more tolerant and less racist than the US... But then again, the UK has almost always been better than the US in that regard (except for the '70s and '80s, when the UK briefly overtook the US in the racism department).

Do you really believe the UK was more racist than the US in the 70s-80s? I'm not arguing it's just kind of amazing.

UK limey green teef bellends get my vote. One of those sad asshats red k'd me for making this thread. Just tells you that clown knows him and his fellow asshats are the most nationalistic d*ckriders.

Every single country.

In the US though it is more divided. Take Floyd, you will not find Americans are uniformly for him. When it comes to boxing we aren't very unified behind our boxers.

UK and Mexican fans are the best fans in the world. They support theirs regardless of color. It's not hype, it's called support.

US fans are the worst, they hate their own. For example, the way African American fighters get bashed by American fans. Foreign fighters white/non black fighters are more loved in the US than American fighters.

I don't think how you root for someone is necessarily wrong or right.

I've been a fan of all types of fighters from all over the world. First and foremost I like them based on the way they fight and secondarily how they act. If a guy is a dip**** and he is American I might not like him. I can respect Mayweather as a fighter but I don't have to like him just because he is American.

I like Pac, didn't initially, but seeing him in the ring I became a fan.

I have no problem with someone rooting for their guy (race, hood, country or whatever). There's a fine line though between patriotism and nationalism. Sometimes that line gets crossed. Unfortunately I think this board tends to get into the uglier side of things.
