i've been accused to being a "racist" among other things by seemingly by some over-sensitive fans on this site. i've been told that i only like mexican fighters and that i'm this and that, yada yada yada. the truth is this, i'm a big boxing fan of mexican boxers AND non-mexican boxers. and i'm not going to apologize to anyone that i'm also somewhat nationalistic when it comes to boxing. anyone on this board who says otherwise is just kidding themselves.

when chris arreola battled tomasz adamek a few months ago, i was undeniably behind adamek. i'm a big fan of his and he happens to be polish. why is that? why did i root for adamek and not arreola? because i'm not a racist like i'm been branded here. for example, my favorite "non-mexican" fighters are:

yonnhy perez - colombia
vic darchinyan - armenia
michael katsidid - australia
timothy bradley - usa
marcos rene maidana - argentina
joel casamayor - cuba
floyd mayweather jr. - usa
shane mosley - usa
ricky hatton - england
miguel angel cotto - puerto rico
kermit cintron - puerto rico
sergio gabriel martinez - argentina
kelly pavlik - usa
lucian bute - romania
andre ward - usa
mikkel kessler - denmark
arthur abraham - armenia
carl froch - england
edison miranda - colombia
jermain taylor - usa
chad dawson - usa
klitschko brothers - ukraine
tomasz adamek - poland

one more thing, the reason i put down results whenever a mexican fighter fights a filipino fighter is because they, the filipinos wanted very badly to have this "rivalry". i personally don't think there is any "rivalry" because of the one sidedness between the two countries. maybe not on this site but in many other sites, they compare themselves to mexicans in everything. be it beauty pageants, boxing, etc...it seems as if they've got this obsession with mexicans.
