Boxing fights hyped on Race and Nationality

[Flawless.]

I was wondering what were boxing matches based on race or nationality. Great big fights eg Bowe-Golota 2 Jefferies vs. Johnson and others

I just want to know the History

Not just Black v White Mexican v Rican

Joe Louis vs Max Schmeling both fights, Ali vs Frazier 1.

Ali vs Frazier 1??
Both Black and American

Ali vs Frazier 1??
Both Black and American

Somehow Frazier ended up representing conservative, 'white' America although he didn't really have strong opinions on the subject.



Holmes - Cooney is an obvious one.

Ali turned it into a race thing, he kept calling Frazier an Uncle Tom and that he was a white man's lackey, so a lot of black people were against Joe Frazier at that time, he received death threats etc.

How was Oscar - Tito hyped? Mexican vs Rican

DLH was never really accepted as a true Mexican, although some Mexicans may have made an exception for the Trinidad fight but I think there have been more hardcore Mexico vs Puerto Rico rivalries. Gomez vs Sanchez, Chavez vs Rosario etc.

It's true although Schmeling never agreed with the **** policies.

He saved two ***ish children from the ****'s and had a ***ish manager.
The ****s turned their back on him after he lost to Louis.

Schmeling still ended up having it better than Joe Louis.
