    :lol: at sweeping generalizations

    in which case, you'd probably agree that we just wanted to see joe eaten while you chappies just wanted to see joe fed :good

    judge each person's opinion individually, dont cut off objectivity by fuelling the bogus 'us' and 'them' argument - its chidish

    its never about nationality for me,its always down to an individual's posts.

    Yep. The British fans I speak too unanimously have respect for them. There may be a couple of idiots on forums, but given that the OP fits into that bracket that may be why the OP notices them.

    I am German and my favorite fighters are (were) Benn and Eubank. I do not think that patriotism wins over sympathy for a foreign fighter if one think he is all class. If I know a fighter of my home country and do not know or like the fighter he is fighting against, then I can be very patriotic. That really depends on the opponent and the information I have about him.

    I like Wlad a lot, he's a great fighter and a real nice guy. I don't like Vitali much though. A lot of casual fans over here do dislike both of the Klitschko's though.

    Little story.

    Walking down my main road and it's the day of the Wlad Haye fight and some men scream go David Haye from a passing car while some English Men reply, '**** off, Wlad will knock him out'

    I think quite a few Brits didn't like Haye's antics especially because Wlad presented himself as a Gentlemen. It seems Americans love trash talking much more

    I am English and I support the Klitschko's.

    I am a fan of them as fighters, and I follow fighters regardless of nationality.
