Do you love boxing or only your country?

Canada always had their fair share of good amatuer fighters, now that professional boxing is opening up I suppose we'll see a wave of Canadian fighters within the next couple of years. Swedish amatuer boxing is next to.... ridiculous :|

 

I would also fast forward the anthems. National pride should have nothing to do with boxing as it is one man vs one man.
The only forgivable exception is in amatuer boxing, Cuba vs USA.
That kind of national rivalry is good IMO.

 

I would trade them all for a welterweight prospect :smoke

 

Watching Olympic Boxing, I don't always root for my countryman. Sometimes if an American squares off against an Italian or a Pole, which is my combined heritage, I will openly root against the American. If the American has a big mouth or a displeasing style , I will hope that the Russian, Nigerian or Japanese wins. Just being a fellow countryman doesn't buy you catre blanche loyalty as far as I'm concerned.

 

i wanted david price to win but i clearly didnt see him being a better fighter than camarelle.

some are unbeliveable. espceailly when you get the U.S. agaisnt europe threads that turn into a written down world war III

 

I love boxing, I don't really care which country that the fighters are from as long as they're good.

 

I like boxing period. I like exciting fighers. They dont have to come from my own country.

 

I'm a white American, but I have always been a fan of boxers from all races and nationalities. Why, if I favored only white American boxers then that would make me a racist, now wouldn't it? Sarc.

 

I am pretty sure I love boxing cause even tough i was rooting for margo, i wouldnt have any problem with cotto winning, actually i felt kinda bad when he lost

 

Yep me too. And you have the best avatar by far, damn..:nut

To be true, i often routed against germans fighter cause i didnt like their character (as far as you could tell from tv). Hell, how can you route for guys like Maske, Schulz, Ottke or Beyer?:fire Maybe im a very bad person cause i dont have any national pride whatsover:| . I also never really understanded the concept of beeing proud of a country? What the hell have i done to be born in germany. I could have done nothing against it beeing born in america, iraq or Afghanistan.
