    Most fight fans stateside are game recognize game. We respect the fighters that earn it.

    Fury has a huge fan base stateside, part of the reason him being white, part his charisma but in the end it’s his boxing.

    Other than Fury who has captured the US fan base? Not many because not many where worth a fucc.

    Chocolatito for example isn’t Mexican but he’s universally respected by the boxing world for
    His skill, heart and the fact he put a huge spotlight on the smaller weights that produce great fighters and fights.

      More reason why Brits need to support one another but honestly there’s a racist section in the country, mostly from the North, that perpetually keeps the country divided. They always blow hot and cold depending on what’s happening.

        I think a lot of people still retain sentiments regarding colonialism, whether they want to admit it or not.

        A lot of our fighters are crazily overrated by our fans though. A LOT of British boxing fans are casuals.

          To be honest I never experienced nationalism in my life until I was forced to deal with Brits online. I'm not a fan of unwarranted attacks, but I do like reacting to them.

          In person, it should be said, England is a ****ing lovely nation. My favorite place on earth outside of home. No one acts like these massive ****s. If they have a chip on their shoulder they can put it away for a good convo with a rando at a pub....every GD time. I guess they just get mouthy behind a keyboard. Or, in person they're quiet *****es talking **** under their breath....kinda the same thing though.


          Anyway, look at all the Brit made thread talking about Americans for no reason other than they have some weird issue they need to work out and compare it with threads like this. Just by the numbers the Brits show their ass.

            Nothing better than domestic UK scraps. I'm American but you can't beat that atmosphere. I love UK boxing.

              As a Brit, do I feel like I'm looked down on? Absolutely not.

              As a boxing fan, who is British, do I feel looked down on? No.

              It is then obvious that you feel that you either have to look down on Brits or are joining the bandwagon of people who want to create a scenario where a British person becomes "Nationalistic", in general terms.

              Its very easy to find the worst of a nation online if you go looking for it.

                Why arent traditionally dangerous places producing the bad men, ie kronk gym, detroit, brooklyn, Russia so many people and so big place, Russians like fighting don't they, beating their wives supposedly?
                .
                The best heavyweight on the planet is probably playing in the NFL or NBA (or working in a diamond mine in Sierra Leone). :-)

                  Are people still pretending the Nigerian Supremacist is British?

                    I look down on them for their terrible food and bad dental hygiene.
                    Their boxers can be hit or miss with me.

                      all it takes is for a few fans from a country, or someone who is not from that country at all but pretending to be, to influence peoples opinions and in some cases turn people against the entire country for all time LMAO, yes people are that easily influenced
