nice man, only been to paris from your list & my sister used to live in florence, i wasnt being rude when i asked if u ever left the US as most americans have not, i heard only 5% have passports? I think though if u were popped into a bad situation around a football(soccer) game or bumped into a group of hooligans hell bent on doing some damage believe me you would be scared.
all this rubbish abt who's countrymen is bollocks, i have travelled the world & nutters are everywhere;D but in all honesty i felt alot safer walking around LA from bars pissed up than my home town. but thats prob cos i was very nieve.

To be honest, i've never heard a national anthem boo'd until the mayweather/hatton fight. I don't want to hear that they're booing the fighter. It is the COUNTRIES national anthem. It's about sportsmanship. The boo's should take place when the fighter is walking towards the ring, and/or when his name/record is being announced. That is the time to boo the fighter for personal reasons. Not the country he is from.
But were all those fans American or consider themselves American? It's not Jennings fault that many Hatton fans are fine troop of drunken imbeciles barely capable of doing anything constructive to the wider world or even themselves. If someone wanted to retaliate they should of at least done it to Hatton at the Malignaggi fight.
There is no defense to classlessnes and no reason for it or to make exucesses for it.
