Anyone see that ****** in the Pre-Fight snippet?

[porlie]

yes and no...

do you support junior witter? do you support clinton woods?

Good point mate no not to that extent but they still would have fans follow them to the States to see them fight.

[Saxon_Christ]

Saxon,

Is it possible that it has something to do with skin color?

Only if your a racist mate.

[porlie]

Colour dont come into it for me, i'll shout and cheer anyone regardless of their colour if I think their good. Obefami Martins plays for Newcastle I cheer him as loudly as I do any other sports star I like.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Only if your a racist mate.

So, it is not POSSIBLE that the fanbase that RH has that travels around with him is due in part to him being white?

I couldn't help but notice that Lennox Lewis never drew that kind of support, despite being a much more accomplished boxer.

Of course, that on its own means little. But if you add in some of the overt racist behaviours both in the stands and on the pitch in many UK cities, it does lead one to wonder if the British sports culture has become somewhat divided.

It hasnt become divided at all, Lewis was Canadian.

I don't think there can be any doubt that people feel greater affection for people they can relate to and I would like to think that Hatton's popularity is more to do with his personality and talent than his skin colour. Hatton is also more popular than Calzaghe and I think that goes to show how important personality is.

I guess Calzaghe will be more popular in Wales then Hatton though, but that doesnt make the Welsh racist. It makes them patriotic and theres a difference.
