Haha. What kind of true boxing fan would cheer on a guy trying to lie & con his way into being called undisputed champ? Pretending those outside the WBO rankings dont exists. Classic Frankie Warren.
I will always admire guys with David Hayes attitude to boxing, whether they're from the UK or US or wherever!

Must be that, he's a decent guy and wouldn't try to decieve people i know how highly he rates Marquez and presumably Pacquiao so can't believe he'd disregard them.
So overhand would like to see Guzman win now Coz this has been said
Every other country gets behind there sport no matter what.
I don't get this mentality. Support a fighter based on how good he is or how much you like him but why purely on nationality? I supported Barrera over Naz because I prefer Barrera.
Was it right for certain Germans to support the nutty Nazi party just because they were "just like us"?
Precisely. That's one of the things I like about boxing, it's not so partisan. I don't care where someone is from, I like watching good fighters fight and support those who I think are class.
This seems to be creeping into boxing a lot now when these terms are thrown about and I think the sense of their meaning has been lost 'unified', 'undisputed', universally recognised'....
Calzahe-Kessler & Haye-Maccarinelli are a couple of recent examples. You can argue the politics in those cases but the end result is comments such as Arthur's.

My Father always said, be it boxing or football he was there to hopefully see a good fight/game and hoped the best man/team won. I like if possible to support the hometeam or Brit so I will support AA although I dont see him winning.
