If Pavlik wasn't white would he have as many fans??

[C.Y.]

i honestly dont think he would have as many fans as he does now.. not to hate on him or anything he's doing his thing but to me he's i guess what you would say the great white hope and if he was black or of latin or asian ethnicity he wouldnt be as popular or admired..

your thoughts?

It's not just cuz he is white. it's because he knocks mofo's out AND becuase he is white.

i dont think race has anything to do with it.

i think its because he dethroned a guy who defended his title 8 (or somethign like that) times in success (with a draw) who beat bernard hopkins twice.

he beat one of the best of that division so MANY people would be drawn to that.

i think its also because he's an exciting fighter with an impressive victory to knockout ratio.

i dont hate the guy but im not a fan either...he's just exciting to watch to me.

Hard puncher, big heart, exciting fights, AND... he's not a ****.

I think he is entertaining, and fun to watch since he does knock mu'***as out!
I don't think his skin color has anything to do with it. So far from what I have seen of him I have liked and I don't have a bias for white boxers since I am not white myself.

Maybe to the casual boxing fans who only watch the big fights, but the ones that no boxing see him as a draw and bring exciting fights.

People who get off the deck to win by KO, or just score MASSIVE Ko's in general, are always popular

thats very true.

imagine how many people who saw the corrales/castillo I fight instantly became fans of diego corrales.

that was very impressive and won him over many fans.

same thing goes here.

theres something very special about a guy to get knocked down and comeback and knockout the guy that knocked him down. it takes TONS of heart.
