I either like a fighter or i don't i personally don't like Ricky Hatton, or Joe Calzaghe's style so why should i root for them ? you just said you don't like Hatton or Calzaghe's style yet you root for them ?

I really don't understand that at all, you should root for the fighter who you appreciate the most for there skills, heart, or exciting style. Which ever one it is it shouldn't be just because they come from the same country.

As for your last comment i couldn't careless about football, i don't mind playing it but i never follow it and i don't understand the hype it gets.
We'll just have to agree to disagree.

I knew somebody would pick apart the football analogy as they don't like the sport - but the priniciple is the same imo.

Answer me this, did you route for The US or China in the Olympics because they had the better athletes? Did you want Massa to beat Hamilton becuase you prefer his driving style? Did you want Federer to beat Murray becuase he's the better player? Or the US to win the Ryder Cup because they had the better players...

Maybe you don't follow any other sport at all so couldn't care less but I think you can at least appreciate what I'm saying.

Kids who supported Man Utd when I was growing up were ridiculed for being 'glory fans'. They opted to support the best team in the country over their home town team just because they were the best team.

Maybe it's blinded loyalty or something on my part, but I just thought in sport you back your own countryman. 99% of everyone I know does...
