        People do that with just about every winning fighter.
        It's not exclusive to Europeans.
        Look at the Pac threads, and the Margs threads after they win. Hell, even some Mayweather threads.

        They do it to everyone.

          I didn't say European, I said non-American.

          It happens to Pacquiao and Margarito because they're not Americans.

          With Mayweather, there's about a hundred nuthugging threads after he UDs some old limited fighter like Baldomir.

            please, this happenes all the time. remember some of Taylor's old fights? he used to get attacked constantly on here, and in fact he is more respected on here lately than when he was champion. he would get ridiculed constantly after the Winky, Ouma, Spinks fights.

            it happens to everyone...more particularly to undefeated fighters.

              In someway i do think people discriminate against European fighter but thats because they havent really seen them fight.......Not because of the colour of their skin.

                Malignaggi gets picked on. He's American.
                Tarver got picked on a lot after he beat Woods. He's american
                Dawson got dissed after the Johnson fight. He's American. even after he beat Tarver some hate was being thrown.

                the list goes on..

                  Oooo, good call. I couldn't think of an American fighter who had been beaten down when he won. Great example.

                  The entire boxing world was turned against Taylor going into his first fight against Pavlik.

                    There's a lot of them. It's only natural to hate the winner if you are a fan of the loser.

                      Dawson was dissed after the Johnson fight, because many people thought Johnson won.

                      But today, Abraham was dominant and got his opponent to quit, yet there have been at least four hate threads made about him.

                      Taylor was hated by Hopkins fans because many people thought Hopkins won at least one of their two fights.
