British v. American Rivalry

[BIG H]

i suppose it depends how patriotic you are!!! some more than others..

Its boxing not country vs country its got nothing to do with how patriotic you are. Im very proud to be English but im also a true boxing fan, so i root for the fighter who i like the most in there ring, for whichever attribute i like the most, not because of what country they come from.

It's got everything to do with that

So you root for a cocky, loud mouth boring fighter in Junior Witter ? All because he's British. He's actually a disgrace to Britain. When Timothy Bradley landed that over hand right I was literally jumping up and down.

Whats the point in going over this again with you ? i tried to discuss this reasonably yesterday. And you reduced yourself to insulting me, and acting like a child trying to bait me in saying crap like "stumble"

I think you'll find it's your self rightgeous, I am the oracle of all things boxing nobody else is ever right posting style that causes conflict with me.

Big H would you still root for all of your home fighters if Paulie Malignaggi was born in London

He got a hair cut in the middle of a fight, that has to be taken into consideration.

I will always support the fighter who represents my country of birth and where i live,course i will.
How it should be...are the tens of thousands that follow Hatton to vegas wrong?...NO they do it for a reason (PROPER fans)
Strange that we Never see a US army of fans coming to the UK on big fights and i can't remeber any ever doing so...NONE at Lacy v Joe!
It's not a dig at anyone/country but because we are an island race and a small one at that that we feel more "connected" to our fighters hense the greater support of our boys over yours
It's that simple.

Class post that

It's like Rocky said................

"You may not understand now, but you will when it's over....believe me you will when it's over"

[gudnite vienna]

when i fighter boxes he represents his nation...

If you choose not to support a boxer who is representing ur nation thats call!

Simple as that

[Fenster]

You guys have to take into consideration there's only ever a small pool of "world class" Brit fighters compared with America.

For example - Tim Bradley was a no-one in boxing, meant/means NOTHING to the majority of American fans, but out of the blue takes the world title of Junior Witter, who was the 3rd or 4th BEST rated fighter in Britain.

I don't think Froch is much cop. But barring Calzaghe i'd cheer for him against everyone else on the world scene.

I just like to always see two men go to war in the ring!Im not too bothered on where they from!I just want to see a really good fight and see both fighters "Whoever" they are give it they all and show the fans and the world they true grit and talent!!!It's how all battles should be fought and settled "Fist to chin"After all thats all you were given when you were brought into this crule world!

Thats the way i see it!Im old school for my age,but i like it that way!

I think you'll find it's your self rightgeous, I am the oracle of all things boxing nobody else is ever right posting style that causes conflict with me.

I don't make out i know everything nor do i make out im always right, you basically implyed i was traitor in the last thread. I let it go and just debated back, then you took it a step further and forced me to defend myself. Then when you couldn't debate back, you took the easy way out and started acting like a child.

The traitor post was blatantly a joke, but if the shoe fits I'll debate with you anytime about Boxing or anything else you fancy

At end it was but not before it wasn't i get pissed of, people keep calling me a traitor. Yotisdan also did this and questioned my family values ETC. I just think boxing is about individual tastes, i never said you was wrong you have your opinion i have mine.

But i didn't think you went about the right way yesterday at all, i got nothing against you we normally get on fine. And i don't mind joking about with you, but come on BIG H until the end you were serious with your comments.

I think the size of the two countries does make a difference but I also think Derrick Gainer makes a difference, Zahir Raheem, John Ruiz, Rocky Juarez, etc. I'd rather be punched in the testicles and shot in the face than root for any of them.

Well technically Ruiz is not ours.
