    damn sounds brutal. Smart by king though. I guess at the time it would have been exciting to see a white heavyweight champ such was the rarity, the obvious race issues that would arise is not surprising.

    Side note, how Irish was Cooney?, obviously he has an Irish surname, but was he geniunely Irish or was it just a marketing ploy.

            You're not bad with words which leads me to the conclusion that the implication in the above statement that all or most of Hatton's fans are racist was a deliberate one.

              The inference is your choice.

                Are Hatton's fans predominately white? guess so. So they must be all racist!! There is nothing more tiresome than racism being implied on the basis of nothing.
