You have people who dislike the K-Bros for that reason.
You have others who feel that only blacks should be the HW champion, because the media here has always glamorized Ali and been fascinated with Tyson. Marciano was a footnote and seen as a relic of the racist 1950s by the 1960s-influenced ******* media, many of whom are still around and in positions of influence.
A white guy or guys, "Russians" (they make no distinction) no less, are automatically suspect as HW champions.Last edited by ChopperRead; 07-13-2011, 08:03 PM.

Wladamir is boring in everyday. A gentlemen perhaps, but as a boxer, he has a lack of emotion when he speaks and in the ring, his style is not exciting. Remember he is a big guy, 240 lbs, we expect big guys to push and dominate.
Wlad has a good resume and is a good fighter, and like Lewis, we don't love either, but respect both. They were both boring.
Now Vitali, he gets more love, but retired for four years. Fight more in the US and he could get some love, but he is slowing down and older now.

Wlad and i mean Wlad especially goes through the samething Mayweather goes through, Thats why they do not like fighters like them, They call both of them boring, Maybe if Wlad was black maybe he would be loved more but who knows...

Many good "Amuricans" still hate the nasty Ruskies.
Froch and Pacquiao don't enter into that, nor are they heavyweights.
And while I like Froch, he is nothing in the USA.

Larry Merchant has said this many times. But Americans have been programmed to hate the "Russian" robots by Rocky movies and other pop culture media, which is why you get the racist caricatures of them with all the "I must break you" comments. The cold war is still on for many Americans.
