is a fighter's nationality the most important thing for you to support them?

    Doesn't really matter. I usually don't like fighters who acts like wannabe thugs so that rules out a lot of black fighters unfortunately. :patsch

    Favorite fighters (in no particular order): Bute, Kessler, Calzaghe, Miranda, Alcine, Pavlik, MAB, Pacquiao, Juan Diaz, Cotto, Hatton, Molitor, Andrade, Ngoudjo, Diaconu, etc.. etc... etc...

    Fighters I don't like because of their attitude: Toney, Mayorga, Malignaggi, Litzau, Green, Tarver, Hopkins, Froch, Mayweather, etc..

    Of course I can appreciate their skills.

    400 forking quid to watch a 2min fight? Id be so pissed off. But then again, who would pay to watch Hamed vs Hardy ringside seats? lol. Hameds antics pissed people off but it just left me laughing. Eubank was just a legend, always preffered his more bright original persona to Nigel's. Reading their biographies, he seems like the much nicer guy too.

    Toney doesnt act like a wannabe thug, hes just so ridiculous its funny. mayorga is just a laugh. Hes not the "yeh im cool and from hood" type, hes more like Im gonna cut you up and eat your children type.
