Why is it the average "internet boxing fan" hates guys like Mayweather, AB and Ward more than they do guys like Antonio Margarito?
Margarito literally CHEATED in the ring and basically tried to kill his opponents by padding his gloves with an illegal substance.
Yet the hate is always in full force for the BROTHERS? Why is that?

Who loved Hopkins? When is the last time Hopkins even had a fight in his hometown? And if he did would it look like Cotto fighting in NYC? Or Hatton fighting in Manchester?
Lewis also was not loved very much in America. He was considered soft, too cautious and boring.
Holyfield had more appeal because he was "SAFE". Good ol Christian Black Man that comes to the ring sangin about the Lord.
He was the definition of safe.
People supposedly don't like ARROGANCE, yet Froch, Calzaghe, Erik Morales, etc... have large fanbases. Even in the UFC, Connor McGregor is the Adrien Broner of the octagon. Yet he has a massive Irish following. He's a box office hit.
Yet when was the last time Hopkins had a fight in Philly and showered with love and admiration?
Shane Mosley was a model citizen and the ideal Brother that made everybody COMFORTABLE. Where was his rabid fanbase? After he beat DLH, he was supposed to be a superstar? What happened?
I speak the truth.
Personally speaking, im Anglo-indian. (just incase you think its relevant) A brown dude.
I cant stand floyd for the many stupid ignorant things he has done and said over the years. Domestic abuse, his many tantrums, his massive ego, his refusal to answer questions about a Pac fight, him burning money in a club to show off....etc etc. There are many many reasons why i dont like him.
Margrito did something stupid and dangerous. One thing. He was punished, and has now retired. With him its not a repetition of irritating, offensive behaviour spanning over a decade.
And as far as you making it into a racist thing. South American fans and british/Irish fans do go crazy over their fighters. Black fighters are also very popular, but if the majority of fans in America are white, then the white fighters will get more attention. Plus them being the minority as far as champions go, will get them media attention.
There is a lot of racism. But not from boxing fans. Every boxing fan i know loves a handful of boxing legends like Hagler, Louis, Tyson, Jones, Ali, Whitaker, Robinson, etc.
Im not a fan of arrogance. Couldnt stand Prince Naseem. But as a fighter i give him props because he was so entertaining. Floyd is not entertaining. Great boxer, but his horrible attitude overshadows his reputation as a fighter for me.
Carl Froch can be arrogant, but he is also intelligent, and scores some great ko's, takes on everyone. So im a fan.
This thread got even more ridiculous with each page.
Here's a helpful hint that doesn't apply to most with common sense but obviously applies to some of you: stop fvcking pulling the race card every time to defend your favorite boxer. Not EVERYONE is going to be a fan of your favorite boxer and not EVERYONE is going to agree with your viewpoints. It's like you guys got so used to doing this sh.it that you don't see how ridiculous you sound.
Imagine if you said you disliked Pacquiao because he avoided drug tests during the first negotiations and people keep insisting that you only dislike Pacquiao because he's Asian and that you're racist against Asians. You have a valid reason not to like the guy yet they're making it about race. It's that stupid.
Jordan immersed himself in a white mans world. He went along with the establishment and moved in white business circles.
He wasn't brash and flashy like Floyd was. Off the court he lead a quite private life and didn't flaunt his wealth. He avoided commenting on any social or political issue that might be lead to negative opinion. He was very quite and reserved.
He was the kind of black man that is excepted in corporate america
You obviously don't know squat about Michael Jordan.
So why do people love Michael Jordan? Is he not black?

They are just Haters. Like it or not, allot of that hate is race based. It's not racism on the surface. It's not like the haters would go around called Floyd the N word.
It's a different kind of racism. Its a resentment of someone they view as lesser than them (A black man) Having fabulous wealth and Great success.

When I first started posting here, other anti-Floyd fans thought I was black, I rocked a Chad Dawson avatar. I would get some dirty, racists red k that consist of the word n****r and other racist profanity against blacks. Mind you, I was a calm poster, with reserved opinions. I can see right through these phony posters claiming it's not race. If you look at Youtube comments, where it's a lot more anon than this site, you could see the dirty little racists all over the comments section of boxing fights/clips. It would not surprise me if they post here as more reserved anti-Floyd fans, struggling to hide their true feelings about black fighters.
A lot of fans hated the sh*t out of Paul Williams after his big win vs Margarito up to when his accident happen. How the heck can you hate a fighter/person like Paul Williams, if it's supposedly because you don't like arrogance -_-
I call bullsh*t on all of you. And Hopkins is loved? Wtf? Holyfield was loved? Most fans were rooting for boring John Ruiz to beat him. SMH, stop lying.
Total truth on this post.
I basically been given negative reviews on my post primarily because people here thinks I am black.
My god this site is full of racists. Racial issues dominate nearly every damn thread almost. I clicked the last page of this thread without reading the OP and its some nut job posting definitions of what a caucasian is :lol1:
IMO America as a country just has so many racial issues underlying its society, (not surprising considering its history) its just poisonous and backward.
Australia has its own dark past with racial discrimination, and plenty of racists here, but you guys are just stuck in a constant sh*t fight over race, its pathetic.
I'm not sure there's even a fight going on. No doubt biases exist in all forms some some people will side with Margarito, some with Floyd based on those biases. It's a bunch of people trying to explain a basic concept (ancestry, citizenship and spoken language are three separate entities) to one or two guys who believe that your physical location retroactively determines your genetic makeup.
As for the rest, have you ever been to the US? How it's portrayed online and on TV is quite different from reality.
After reading boxingscene and crazyliberalfeminist.org for 10 hours I would be afraid to go outside, but they are not accurate representations of daily life.
:lol1: :lol1: it's been a while since i've seen Flomo dickriding this hard, i only have one request : KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! and please nobody report this thread! i wanna wake up tomorrow and laugh at 40 pages of Racist flame war.
Even if Fury is trolling, people like that really do exist.
I once encountered a high desert hillbilly type who didn't know the entire history of colonialism and thought Americans came from America but came in different colors (kind of like cat litters will come out with random fur) and at some point just got into a fight and were still in the process of forgiving each other.
He too referred to Mexico-to-Chile as "Spanish" and believed Spain was somewhere down there in the brown lands where they invented fruit.
He was passionately anti-racist and against the entire concept of race but so colossally stupid that everything he said was accidentally more offensive than deliberate racism.
When asked how the English and Spanish languages found their way from Europe to the new world an expression of apocalyptic peril crossed his face. I'll never forget it. I like to think 3 days later he blurted out out "WW2!" then realized I was no longer standing there.
I believe in class warfare because these people absolutely cannot be allowed near our cultivated children. We must confine them to hanging out in front of rural liquor stores worshiping Floyd Mayweather and Dale Earnhart.
Hey cunt nice try you moron... I actually am Caucasian and take offense to people that aren't trying to act like they are. Here are sources that you can google yourself cunt!!!!! Caucasian/"white" people are non-hispanic.

(no longer in technical use) of, relating to, or characteristic of one of the traditional racial divisions of humankind, marked by fair to dark skin, straight to tightly curled hair, and light to very dark eyes, and originally inhabiting Europe, parts of North Africa, western Asia, and India.

Look at what you said again, you're confusing everyone including yourself. :D
Its akin to saying a Black guy isn't Black because he was born in Canada.
This dude is a europian so he must be caucasian. Ahahahaha

Wikipedia did not agree with you... It said the definition you're using is a non-anthropological layman term in American English. Are you illiterate like your hero?
Proceed with your confusing black-guy-pretending-to-be-a-racist-white-guy-who-loves-floyd mayweather gimmick... Whatever floats your boat nerd.
Can you imagine someone with my education even talking to some feral idiot who thinks "Spanish" is a race in real life? The internet is a total trip.

Fists of fury is painfully dumb, sometimes it's hard to be an educated person who likes boxing and be forced to interact with such stereotypical meathead plebeians who think "Spanish" is a race.
