I think it is a nonsense thing to have rivalries between countries. Boxing is an individual sport and you like fighters based on style and character. I couldn't give a fuck where they come from. We live on planet earth, what does a border have to do with anything? It is a ridiculous argument really. Barrera is Mexican. Toney is American. Hatton is English. I like them all, what does nationality have to do with it? What next, liking fighters based on race? Liking fighters based on sexuality? Liking fighters based on religious affiliation? Mind you I do hate God bothering fighters. Andre Ward is particularly idiotic.

A true fan of boxing transcends gay concepts like nation and border. It is trite, small minded, and pathetic.
