which country and fighter has the best fans???

[GazOC]

The brits....but I'm biased!!

[Beeston Brawler]

It has to be the Brits.

The American's don't quite understand how passionate Brits are about their teams or individuals.

I am a Leeds United fan - that is all there is to say.

I was sat next to a couple of Yanks at MSG for Lewis-Holyfield, their eyes were popping out of their heads at the songs, chants and the support Lewis was getting. It was quite funny to watch.....

[Oscar de la Roa]

I was impressed at the mgm when hatton and mayweather fought...altough kelly pavlik fans are great too

[phillip002]

Puerto Rican fans are the most proud of their own without a doubt! brits are usally just drunks talking shit loud trying to sing.

[papolamuerte]

Puerto Ricans and Mexicans!!!!!

Brits just want to find any excuse to get drunk and act stupid....j.k.

[thewoo]

Puerto Rican fans. The average puerto rican has the same boxing knowledge as some die heard fans from other countries. While I will admit that the british fans have a loyalty unmatched anywhere else, they seem to not know much else about the sport other than the guy that they are cheering for (I don't mean that directed to anyone here as non of you count as the average fan)

[ad82]

That's a bit of a stereo-type phillip! I was at the Calzaghe / Hopkins fight and the fans were amazing. When Tom Jones was singing the anthem I had chills going down my back. The queue at for the weigh in nearly went the whole way down the miracle mile shopping plaza and more Calzaghe fans kept coming to join the end of the queue. A few Hopkins fans showed but a lot left when they saw the size of the queue.

I was at Calzaghe / Kessler as well and the atmosphere is just something else. The fans were fantastic too, not an ounce of trouble. For me these are the greatest fans in the world but unless you experienced it yourself it's hard to understand exactly what kind of atmosphere they create.

The same can be said about Puertoricans and Mexicans, you really have to be there to understand it. But I do see your point though....

Your right! They just get loud and drunk , so they can take the attention away from the products their putting out: Shitty boxers,lol

:lol: Thats rich coming from a Kraut!!

[Scar]

British fans, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans.

[Beeston Brawler]

:lol: Thats rich coming from a Kraut!!

Exactly.

How many genuine world class boxers have Germany produced in the past two decades.

Guys who have padded records, or the assistance of bent referees or judges do not count i'm afraid.

Can I just ask you one question mr german.....

What do you actually have to do to get a points victory in Germany as a foreigner?

I would ask Robin Reid but he would just stare blankly.

[Bomber]

Put it this way, how many fans from your own country travel across the Atlantic in the thousands like the Brits do?

Shout out to the Puerto Ricans too!

[fitzgeraldz]

Mexicans hands down ... Chavez had 100k at a fight ...

I have nothing against the British people or it's fans, but I'm going to call it as I see. Here in Stuttgart during the world cup in 2006, much of the problems that were here were from drunk loud british fans trying to fight other fans. They were more then rowdy, as they caused many problems here. Now, maybe it's different for british boxing fans, but In my own opinion, being loud and drunk singing doesn't top the list as it's best fans. But, on the same note, I will say, it's never going to be boring being around them..

As far as which country and figher has the best fans? In my opinion it's the puerto ricans. but also boxing is a very international sport, so i don't think many give a crap where the boxer is from, as much as we care about how appealing their style is to us.

are you telling me English fans, Scottish fans and Welsh fans joined forces during the 06 WC?

[Beeston Brawler]

British fans like to have a few pints and have a laugh, big deal.

It is only a small minority of football fans that cause the trouble, which is very sad I know.

I bet you wouldn't have seen 10000 Jeff Lacy fans coming over here for the Calzaghe fight, or fans of any other American for that matter.

Brits just love the occasion, and add to it whenever they are there, whilst Americans simply are not like that. A clash of cultures, that is all.

[THN]

Denmark- Kessler of course !

[BodyShots]

1. Puerto Ricans

2. Brits

3. Mexicans

Well - all I can say is that I could think of a million better things to do on holiday in Magaluf than stay in the hotel room all night as Germans ;)

ahhhh well, at least all our current top boxers were born inside our borders. where as the krauts spend their time pillaging eastern europe and passing them off as their own.

a bit like thier football team, half of them are Polish.

[phillip002]

:lol: Thats rich coming from a Kraut!!

First off, i'm not a Kraut, for I was born in North Carolina and merely only work here in Stuttgart. Second, Enzo Calzaghe is already 0-2 this year as a trainer, which I predict by the end of the year will be 0-4 if Joe " like 2 slap" Calzaghe fights. But the truth is, the U.K doesn't bring anything to the ballpark here. It may have great fighters on it's island but thats it. Across the pond an english champion is at best a good contender, thats it.

Who trained JC (The Ring champ at two different weights) for Hopkins?

[phillip002]

:yep a bit like thier football team, half of them are Polish.

Sooo, is england in the Eurocup this year? Oh, didn't think so. Just another over-rated national team. Just a little bit better then our soccer team and we don't even play soccer. Foreigners? Look at your league..

Its not an English league! The same as the NBA isnt American only! No Euro-cup this year, shit manager. Just a bit better than yours? Our C team beat your A team 2 years ago! Last time we played! I think we're playing each other again soon, you will get annihilated by our C team again!

[Arran]

Hopkins won that fight, Joe got the decision

oh right, didnt realise we were going by your record-book. So wouldnt that make him 0-3?

[ThePlugInBabies]

Hopkins won that fight, Joe got the decision

45-0, deal with it. :deal

It doesn't matter, england still isnt' in the Euro cup. Guess you have 2010 world cup to look forward 2. england will most likely (if they qualify) be knocked out in the first round by lets see.... trinidad/tobago..:rofl

It's a matter of when 2010 come's around trinidad beating them. You say C-team? The U.S will beat england regardless of what team you bring up in this next match you watch.

ha ha ha, with players like McBride, Donavon and Adu? :rofl :rofl The only reason you reach the WC is because you have the easiest qualifying group on the planet, if you were in the Euro group qualifiers you would never make it.

[truewarrior]

Well when it comes to real talent not the heavy sack of shits fighting in the heavyweight, division Mexicans love watching the light weight divisions. Common I dont think anyone is as passionate about boxing than mexicans...other than the brits. Met plenty of puerto ricans and they all white washed dont know shit about boxing theyre into b-ball and reggaeton.

Donavon could make it in England and Adu needs to develop alittle bit more. Well for having such a weak schedule we sure did good tying with the Champions.

landon would be a lower half of the table squad player at best. i like brian mcbride, one of my favourite players actually. but a lot of the american talent never pushes onto the next level after promising starts earlier in their careers.

If you're referring to Rangers fans-

1. A lot of them have Irish heritage. Sectarian violence in the modern era in general is an import from Ireland, a bit like folk-fusion. The Irish are like the poisoned make-up in the first Batman film: a Proddie or a Tam isn't bad by themselves (I cite Dundee), but put them together and you get Glasgow.

2. Most Rangers fans just want to be English anyway. It's not as bad as the Celtic fans though, who want to be Irish.

3. A lot of Wegies are prats and have no right to call themselves Scottish. Again, it's the Irish influence.

or could the sectarian violence seen in scotland not be a product of immigration and rather a product of the violent policies towards catholics launched by the church of scotland,the SNP and the government itself?to ignore that these issues ignited sectarian hatred and is definatly the root cause in segregation in scotland rather than simply a displacement of irish problems to scotland.

fuck,if you want to be as ignorant as you are we can go back to the Ulster Plantation, or maybe the battles of the 18th and 19th century which pushed the catholics in ireland back against the wall and made them stand up and fight.

a joke of a comment you just made mate!

Brits/Mexicans, they turn out for their men. I also like it as loud as possible, you've got two guys knocking each others head off, its just bizarre when its quiet like in the US at times, and I'm convinced they fight in public libraries in Germany
