    I was thinking about my favourite fighters the other day and realised that a fair few were Mexican. It's interesting to note that my favourite Mexican fighters all share the same traits: exciting to watch; huge hearts; and well-grounded, humble people. From there, I wondered whether this would be an interesting thing to ask the rest of the forum. In my experience, the Brit forum is a fantastic place to get unbias opinions which aren't smeared by blind hate of a particular country and the talent that it produces; just look at most of the general's reaction to British fighters to see the opposite of what I am talking about! So, which is your favourite hub of talent outside of the UK? Which is your favourite fighting nation?
    :good

    Poll to follow... NOTE: Obviously there isn't room for every nation of the world so I've put the most prominent fighting nations in the poll. If you choose 'other', then it would be interesting if you specified:good.

    I really thought Papa New Guinea would be there, on a side note are there actual people in Papa New Guinea, or is it just full of Guinea pigs?

    A Papua New Guinean once half-killed Barry McGuigan in the final of the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Canada and was robbed of the verdict. The sportsmanship he displayed at the decision remains etched on the mind.
    If I were a matchmaker, I would NEVER match one of mine with a Filipino southpaw, a Colombian or an Argentine.
