What has where a fighter comes from have anything to do with boxing ? first off i have never really like Joe Calzaghe's fighting style, where as i always liked RJJ flashy style.
Plus RJJ was one of my hero's growing up, i think its silly just to root for a fighter. Because there from the same country as you just for the sake of it.
Agreed 100%
It's a weird concept - supporting somebody just because they were born on the same bit of land as you. Can't believe that takes presidence over the fighter in general. For example, i don't like Junior Witter much, but he lives near me.
I sincerely hope Roy Jones rolls back the years and puts on a show. My head says Calzaghe will be too busy for him. I think Roy is at that stage where he is happy just to be headlining, where Calzaghe is desperately trying to stay undefeated. Of course, Jones could be much more determined than we all think. I know he isn't the fighter he once was, but even a 50% Roy Jones is better than most of other light-heavys out there.
I'm with Big H on this one, you should support your home fighters. I've never understood how people like Dark Lord Al and Tyson Bruno can hate on Calzaghe so much. Or Bilbo on Hatton etc..
I'm no longer a fan of Hatton's style and I hate the way Calzaghe taps open handed. That said I'll still be screamig at the TV for them to win in the coming weeks.
I support Wolverhampton Wanderers because that's where I'm from. I support the England football team because that's where I'm from. I supported Great Britain in the Olympics becuase that's where I'm from.
Sure I apprceciate how great Brazil play the beautiful game but that doesn't mean I'd support them if they were playing England.![]()

The YES's are worth the wait.
Go ROY.
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![]()
