If Wladimir was American and black, would he be more accepted as a top heavyweight?

Most of Wlad's fights have been exciting for me.
The Ibragimov fight was rather dull, but Ibragimov vs. Briggs was worse. Sultan uses feints a lot, and that and his awkward southpaw style confuses his opponents. Holyfield said after his fight with Sultan last October that he has a confusing style, and that's why he threw far fewer punches than usual.Comment

The American media gives a lot of attention to Mayweather, yet hardly anyone has ever heard of Kelly Pavlik.
The American people may want a white heavyweight champion, but the media obviously does not! It's the American media people such as Kellerman, Atlas, Wenzel etc. that don't accept Wlad because he's from Ukraine and white. They either ignore him or discredit him.Comment
