So you are one of the few that wants PR to become a state? Every year for the last 18 years I have been going to PR and everyone wants to remain the same and keep the PR culture alive. They do not want the US base there at all due in part to the bomb testing and the adverse effects of the marine life there. You forgot to mention the great bottoms of PR women be it on thin, shapely or thick women. They got ass !!!Quote:

I'am biased and saying English. The Puerto Ricans have massive support for the fighters. Also the Danish have good supporters Kessler brought alot over to Wales when he fought Calzaghe.

I guess those who can travel around the world, spend their hard earn money to see their fighters are the REAL best boxing fans huh?Quote:

Yes i still stand by what i said earlier about our TOP QUALITY PROUD BRITISH LOYLE FANS!I was'nt speculating on just the one fact that we(U.K)are the best boxing fans in the world due to how many of us go over the pond to watch our local national hero's fight.That would'nt be a fair and realistic statment to make.
The point of the matter to the question is that we all cant afford big fight tickets to Las Vegas and anywhere else across the globe,but the fact is still that we(U.K)are filling out every boxing venues up and down british coast line every week,wheather it's a low key match up in socal clubs or in big venues like the O2 ARENA,or the famous YORK HALL in LONDON.Where are a 100% loyle boxing fans not just to the british boxer whoever they maybe(MALE or FEMALE fighters)but also to the sporting game as well.Thats why our boxers are always wearing they hearts on they sleeve wheather they win or lose due to the fact thats its all reflected from they down to eath boxing fans as well as themselves as a true BRITISH FIGHTER.
Where ever they are the Jewish population are great supporters of Boxing always have been ,,it goes back years. I remember David Doing Goliath with one shot. I surprised theres not a vidio on You Tube of it ;D
I haven't read this thread, just the tiltle, but immediately IMO the best fans of Boxing are right here on Saddo's. Period.
I am surprised the poll did not list Puerto Ricans. Not that they might be better fans than anyone else, simply that they were not even considered.
Don't worry my friend we are little noisy, we will make people hear from us ;DQuote:

Couldn't say... I think it's more or less even.
I know we have 1000s of people going to watch our guys abroad but most of them aren't actually boxing fans. Take Ricky Hatton for example...
Most of them are just football fans who like people hitting each other... that's why they boo the other fighter's national anthem - because they don't get the sport, there's no respect.
Agreed. Damn early settlers got here and started drawing lines and have the nerve of telling people if they're encroaching or not.Quote:

The UK fans without doubt!!!!
I agree. UK and Mexico, on a per capita basis, love boxing more than anywhere else. Boxing gets great support there.Quote:

No way, man - You've obviously never been to Bridgend on a wet Wednesday in February, after we've lost at rugby the previous weekend.Quote:

I'm not sure, but I'd probably have to say Mexicans.
I was at the Carbajal vs. Kim fight a long time ago, and I remember there were fights breaking out in the stands everywhere between the Mexicans and the Koreans.
I guess the Koreans get some props, too.
Dude, You stole my line ;D;D.Indeed ...WE saddo are the shit.They need to form a competition with other site's.A weekly event......10 of ours against 10 of theres.We would bury those poser clowns at "B.S"Quote:

This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.
But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.
The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English- Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian- Americans, or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic.
The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.
Addressing the Knights of Columbus in New York City

Great quote as it lives through its' spirit coming up on 100 years. The rerence was to Anglo Saxons from Europe. There is no mention of people of color ( Latin, Asian or African) so could it be the man was a racist and felt only Anglo Saxons were people of substance ? Seems it holds true even in todays society in the USA.Quote:

I boxed in America once. A room full of people and nothing but polite applause as the guys slugged it out, it's very disconcerting!
Then I box at home and even though the crowd might not know the fighters they scream their lungs out!
