Who are the best boxing fans in the world?

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.

If you are not an indigenous person then you are not an American with no hyphen. Second , all people of the USA are not the only Americans. Everyone from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America are considered American as they are from the Americas. People of the USA do not have a heritage (no inherent physical traits) or culture ( no experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and material objects and possessions acquired by a group of people in the course of generations through individual and group striving. ) We are Hypenated-Mutts. The people of Mexico are more American than people of the USA as they have never had to reroot their past.


See map of Mexico before http://www.sc.edu/library/spcoll/mex...mexico1847.jpg . Which leads to the joke of USA telling Mexicans to go home !!!

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.

A friend of mine in Alaska used to tell me that "if you see a black bear in your backyard, always keep in your mind that you are the envaders, not them". And I knew what he meant by that right away.

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.

All fans of Boxing are equal, but they just seem to have so much more fan support. Boxing in general is much more appreciated as a sport in those locations.

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.

BRITISH FANS ARE THE BEST!!!ALWAYS HAVE BEEN,ALWAYS WILL BE!!!:lickish:

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.

We normally get overlooked here, what with all the British, U.S., and even Mexican fans. But no mind. We've got some of the best fans, in addition to being the p4p boxing capital of the world.

;D

Found a quote that was interesting from Teddy Roosevelt.
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.
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.

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.
