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

[porlie]

yea just so long as he don't move in next to you

WTF are you for real?? I've loadsa Black,Asian, and Oriental friends. I take people for who they are not their skin colour.

[satori555]

saying oriental is racist you racist

[porlie]

saying oriental is racist you racist

LOL STFU you fool what am I meant to say??? list them all by race?

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.

Yeah but Joey Barton is playing for Newcastle now and he's a total ****chops!

I think the reason that Hatton has such a huge following is that people can relate to him. He's an ugly little son of a carpet fitter who likes to go on the razz and cracks jokes all the time. He's likeable. Calzaghe is a bit impetuous, Naz was never going to have mass appeal because he never made the right noises to be a British fighter, he was always identifying himself with other ******s primarily, which serves to alienate non-******s. Amir Khan is pretty popular and he'll get a reasonable following if he steps up his game, because he identifies with being British. Khan is different than Naz because Khan calls himself a British ******, Naz was a ****** who lived in Britain.

And Lennox Lewis was always viewed with su****ion. Noone knows where his loyalties lay. The most beloved boxer in Britain when I was a kid?



When the Sun newspaper decided to run a mocking headline of him about his mental problems there was such a wave of outrage that the very next issue they changed their tone from condesention to sympathy in double quick time.

It isn't anything to do with skin colour.

Im Sorry Man But I Think The Best Fans In The World Are The Puerto Ricans I Havent Seen No Fans Compare To Them.

Yea right, there is not one rican in my family who would fly to LA to see miguel cotto fight.

This is Bull****..Frank Bruno was,and probably still is the most famous british boxer of the modern era....you'd hear chants of 'bruno,brunofrom10'sof thousands of fans....just incase u dnt understand...Bruno is black....the reason why RH gets so much support is...becuase he'slike your everyday guy..and i know its a cliche to say it..but if you've ever been in his company,he doesnt harp on about how great he is,or how he is better then this guy or that guy, or what he'dd to this guy...he's very humble..and very decent...he doesnt live in a mansoin or drive a flashy car, or wear lots of bling,or disresepct people for the sake of it.....if you stil find it hard to see why he has such a strong fan base,then my friend you are what is most commonly known as a MORON!

Brits were singing at every Lewis fight in America (at least the ones I saw).

Jeebus....Britain is a small country but the people there are tenacious supporters of their own if they make it big in the world. You can't fault them for that.

i remember hearing the 'lewis,lewis,lewis'chants in teh Lewis holyfield fight in the US...the fact that the brits were out'singin'the holyfield or american fight fans,agains shows you havnt got a clue what your talking about...a country that would easily fit within the state of texas,bringin over thousands upnoe thousands to support their fighter ,paing thousands at a time for flights ,tickets,and accomodation....and you seem to think its all because RH is hite,and no black british boxer has felt the saem support?....racism is a problem in the UK,but maybe not as bad as the US if you come to such conclusions using your own experience of Race in your own country.
