    The race less likely to pick a fighter based on race is... the Klingons.

    Seriously I don't think that there's a significant difference between white and black boxing fans. Apart from on this forum where the most biased fans are... white fans who are pretending to be black. Like "P4P KING".

      I agree with you man..
      I'm always neutral.. Still have 2 good black friends..
      I don't see the point of all the 'race' cliques and stuff..

      A person talks to me I really don't care what race they are. As long as they don't annoy me lol..

      I hate, and like every1 equally..

      Its unfortunate, but I do think that its always going to be like that tho..

        Everyone knows that blacks dominate boxing. It's not earth shattering news. Therefore I think blacks have the least reason to be biased. I think white people are more likely to put their white champion on a pedestal if you ask me.

        Like Kelly Pavlik for example. He's a predictable, one dimensional fighter that is one wrong matchup away from getting exposed. Yet white people crown him as their superman. Skillwise or athleticism he doesn't have **** on any of the great black middleweights of past eras. But I dunno, you roundeyes figure it out amongst yourselves.

          Most of the fighters I like are black.. (I'm Italian)
          Black fighters usually dominate the sport..

          My philosophy is, who gives a ****
          blacks have dominated the sport, because they are on the lowest on the economic totem pole.. and boxing is a poor mans sport, face it.. just like the irish when they first came to america.. they dominated.. then the italians.. just the facts

              Haha oh really?

              That's why the HW Champ is an intelligent White guy who grew up essentially middle class? Because it's a poor Man's sport?

                    Whites by default. In the majority of divisions, they have no choice.

                      Asian fighters dominate the lower weights. Educate yourself.
