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

[The Hammer]

Do you decide to like a boxer based on nationality or the excitement he brings?

Do you prefer boxers who run out the clock for UDs who are the same nationality as yourself, or exciting fighters from elsewhere who make a statement with a KO?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

No,,, doesn't matter where a guy is from, I like a fighter for the way he fights and personality

Calzaghe
Hatton
Ggg
Manny
Kovolev
Ike quartey
Trinidad
Cotto
Jirov
Chavez sr

Doesn't matter to me.. I rooter for chavez vs meldrick, and pernell

[The Hammer]

As for myself, I have favorite boxers from all over the world.

UK - Joshua
Russia - Kovalev
Kazakhstan - Golovkin
Philippines - Pacquiao
USA - David Benavidez
Poland - Glowacki
Ukraine - Derevyanchenko

What they have in common: they are all exciting and all go for the KO rather than run out the clock for dull UDs.

I enjoy watching complete fighters with high ring IQ. Those that can fight inside/outside, forward/backwards/off the ropes, counter/lead, maintain defensive responsibility, have great footwork, throw every punch from every range, know when to throw what punch, can set traps effectively, commit to the body, vary their jab, mix up their attack offensively, etc. Can do all of these things at a high level. Examples include:

Roberto Duran
Floyd Mayweather
Pernell Whitaker
Erik Morales
Marco Antonio Barrera
Andre Ward
Bernard Hopkins
Ricardo Lopez

There's nothing more frustrating than seeing a talented boxer get exposed from lacking fundamental shi* such as cutting off the ring, having no inside game, pulling straight back, inability to adjust, lacking the discipline to stick to a gameplan, etc.

I don't give a crap about skin color varaiations. If you can sling them thangs... I love you.

I dont care about kos, how about that?

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.

[Kagami Taiga]

Not a main criteria but it matters. I love seeing American Boxers achieve. But I support fighters of all nationalities.

I personally like winners...idc if its a kayo artist or cutie....I dissect what they do to succeed and try to understand how and why the technique works. Appreciate the craft and hard work


I havent watched boxing for blood and guts in years.

[NEETzsche]

i don't root for all british boxers (except in international competitions like the olympics and WSB), but i am biased in favour of them and like to see british boxing as a whole doing well

but i'm also biased in favour of boxer-punchers and boxers who make me laugh. and sometimes i just take a liking to random fighters for no real reason

Pacquiao is not a brawler, Thurman isn't either.

There's a difference between an unskilled brawler, and a skillful seek-and-destroy boxer-puncher.
