    Going back to this thread, I earlier categorized myself as 25% nationalistic fan, higher than just about everyone else that has posted on here (although I'm sure if everyone was 100% honest, there'd be a few people over the 25% mark). But I got to cut myself some slack. Even though our (Puerto Rico) biggest rivalry is with Mexico, I've always had a handful of Mexican fighters that I've been a fan of throughout their careers. This comes to mind mostly because of recent threads about Juan Manuel Marquez, of whom I've always been a big fan. To name some prominent Mexican fighters (or of Mexican descent) and whether I'm a fan or not, I'd list the following:

    Big fan: Ricardo "Finito" Lopez, MAB, JMM
    Lukewarm: Salvador Sanchez, Erik Morales
    NOT a fan: JCC (or Junior), DLH, Vargas (although I've softened on him a bit)

    puerto rico - 62-48-1

    now, that's a real rivalry!!!
    How you come with that fabricated number? What fights are you counting? Most of the big fights between the 2 countries were by Mexico

    20% Nationalistic
    10% Hater
    40% Objective
    30% Underdog, I made this up. I always seem to pull for the heavy dogs, or if someone is getting beat bad I want them to turn it around.

    Saw the "patriotic fan" thread and thought I'd bump this up. "Patriotic fan" is basically among the popular types of fans. I myself have a lot of that (in an objective, knowledgeable sort of way ).

    I think most people have some "patriotic fan" in them to some extent, although with some it could be very little. It may depend on where you're from. If your country is rich in boxing tradition, well then it makes sense that you'd have a considerable amount of "patriotic fan" in you. The converse is also true. If your country hasn't produced much in the way of boxing champions, but you're still a boxing fan, you might not have too much "patriotic fan" in you. Of course as in all generalities, I'm sure there are exceptions.
