Who doesn't like Ali? No non-blacks liked him in his hey day, but now they love his memory. The hatred dissipates over time until your credentials speak for themselves..
Ok, well, it isn't common so surely proves nothing. I'm certain that if SRL were fighting JCC in Mexico or California, that the majority of the crowd won't be for Leonard.
Roy Jones is one of those fighters who transcend sports, but surely again, the prevailing perception isn't one being that he's big in the Hispanic community, or even as big as the most obscure (in the U.S.) but well known Mexican fighters.
I don't care. You're not "Mexicans", you are A Mexican. You are fully aware that I meant the vast majority and that was a lazy generalization given the assumption that I wasn't going to be taken literally by someone so simple.
he always tells me stories about where he would watch his fights and what not. my uncle is a serious Sugar Rey Leonard fan and uses SRL's career as a comparison for greatness.
I know when I was in the Rio Grande Valley, they would ALWAYS televise RJJ fights in bars and sometimes, even clubs.
