Bets On Joe Calzaghe vs Roy Jones In Here.

[Tysonbruno]

When have I ever wanted a British fighter to lose?

'ROUTING' for means WANTING to win. That's a lot different to objectively thinking somebody will win!!

What has where a fighter comes from have anything to do with boxing ?

It's called National Pride mate and it's what makes used to make this country great. Without it who are we? That's the problem with your generation mate and that's why this country is going down the shitter.
Where does where a footballer come from have anything to do with football? but 3 billion people watch the world cup to route for their country

I don't agree with you mate boxers are individuals with a individual style and we become fans of them because of these styles or personality not because of where they come from. I don't like Joe because i don't like his style or personality so whether he is from Britain or not i won't cheer for him i was a fan of Mike Tyson and i liked Lennox Lewis who is British but i still rooted for Tyson and didn't root for my countryman i rooted for my favourite of the 2.

Like I said in my post above, I support loads fighters from overseas, infact nearly all my boxing heroes are not British, but hero or not I would want them to lose if they were fighing a Brit. Just the way I'm built, no right or wrong answer on this one, guess it's just about how much pride you have in your country

[intoccabile]

So am I wrong for wanting Hatton to spank colazo, mayweather
For wanting Cotto to beat Mosely, etc etc.

for wanting the Dallas Cowboys to smack the Philadelphia Eagles? lol.

When you are a fan, nothing should change your perspective imo.
If i'm a fan of hatton and he's fighting the USA's biggest sensation.. oh well, hatton gets my cheer.. because THATS who I'm a fan of.

You're not wrong, you just don't have as much national pride as I do

I wouldn't call it national pride bro.
It's just I don't think it is fair to want someone I've always wished the best for to lose all of a sudden because he's fighting someone of my nationality.

That's fair enough mate, I respect your view, it's just different to mine

I agree.
Your domestic fighters are lucky to have you as a fan. At least they know you'll always support them regardless of the obstacle.

My guys can't trust me too much lol.

So you can honestly say if any of your favourite fighters worldwide was fighting any British fighter you would be rooting for the British fighter?

I just back against Brits mate. I am an Everton fan, but I will even support Liverpool in Europe, because I see it as England v Spain/Italy or whoever. And I fucking hate Liverpool

No way. I will NEVER root for Liverpool under any circumstances.

Call yourself a true Evertonian BIG H. Shame on you

[Gandalf]

Calzaghe is my main man and I'm willing to take a bet with anyone. He will beat Jones Jr. and do it with style. If he is anything near his best he will overwhelm Jones Jr with his volume down the stretch. Anything less and its a decent points win. He cannot afford to get sloppy though, and he certainly shouldnt treat Jones as anything less than a legitimate challenge. Jones Jr is a legend and should be treated as such.

Come on Joe!!!
