    I think this could happen, I like Foster Jr's chances.

    I always root for Frochy!!!

    The guys in my sig. I can't always root for my number 6 fighter (Adamek) because he can and will come up against a Klitschko soon

    Also in almost all cases if a British fighter is fighting at world/Euro level I will support them. But not if they are Matthew Hatton

    Miguel Acosta, Barrera, Cotto, Roman Gonzalez and Wilfredo Vasquez Jr. I dont really understand the fascination with a fighter from your own country, it's an induvidual sport after all, and that's who I support, individuals. For instance, if Casey fought Vasquez Jr, I'd support WV2, or if Andy Murray fought Acosta, I'd 100% want Acosta to blow him out.

    Juan Manuel Marquez & Carl Froch are the only ones.

    In general, not just Englishmen. I never got why someone would be biased towards a countryman either. Like I said, it's an induvidual sport. It's not like ''Ireland'' or ''England'' in football, rugby, etc. It's ''Dunne'' or ''Froch''.

    I will never go against Katsidis, Cotto, Witter or Malignaggi.

    And Froch, obviously.
