    It has to be the Brits.

    The American's don't quite understand how passionate Brits are about their teams or individuals.

    I am a Leeds United fan - that is all there is to say.

    I was sat next to a couple of Yanks at MSG for Lewis-Holyfield, their eyes were popping out of their heads at the songs, chants and the support Lewis was getting. It was quite funny to watch.....

    Puerto Rican fans. The average puerto rican has the same boxing knowledge as some die heard fans from other countries. While I will admit that the british fans have a loyalty unmatched anywhere else, they seem to not know much else about the sport other than the guy that they are cheering for (I don't mean that directed to anyone here as non of you count as the average fan)

    That's a bit of a stereo-type phillip! I was at the Calzaghe / Hopkins fight and the fans were amazing. When Tom Jones was singing the anthem I had chills going down my back. The queue at for the weigh in nearly went the whole way down the miracle mile shopping plaza and more Calzaghe fans kept coming to join the end of the queue. A few Hopkins fans showed but a lot left when they saw the size of the queue.

    I was at Calzaghe / Kessler as well and the atmosphere is just something else. The fans were fantastic too, not an ounce of trouble. For me these are the greatest fans in the world but unless you experienced it yourself it's hard to understand exactly what kind of atmosphere they create.

    The same can be said about Puertoricans and Mexicans, you really have to be there to understand it. But I do see your point though....

    Exactly.

    How many genuine world class boxers have Germany produced in the past two decades.

    Guys who have padded records, or the assistance of bent referees or judges do not count i'm afraid.

    Can I just ask you one question mr german.....

    What do you actually have to do to get a points victory in Germany as a foreigner?

    I would ask Robin Reid but he would just stare blankly.

    Put it this way, how many fans from your own country travel across the Atlantic in the thousands like the Brits do?

    Shout out to the Puerto Ricans too!
