does anyone honestly think european/white fighters are discriminated against

[Guest]

No doubt, and many members of the US media are just as guilty.

Please man. The world loves Zsolt Erdei, Americans included. LOL.

edit to say : zSOLT is loved not only in west germany, but east germany as well!

There is a certain taste of dislike for european fighters from certain elements on this forum.

I think is a very accurate post.

I think just the fact that Pavlik got so much hype and love on boxingscene,

whereas clearly technically superior and flat out better boxers like Calzaghe and Kessler get little to no love proves Euros are discriminated against, and I'm an Asian dude living in Southern California, so theres no reason for me to be biased.

Anyone who includes Calzaghe as a European fighter who is discriminated against is out of their mind...

He gets love in bucketloads from a lot of people.

He also gets hate, but... that still doesn't qualify him for discrimination.

It's guys like Kessler and Abraham who get no love, even though they are obviously very good fighters.

They don't get credit for their accomplishments cuz most don't see em if they do all their business overseas. I don't think they're hated on overall, except by a few biased dumbasses. But it's understandable not to acknowledge a fighter you've maybe read about but never really seen in action a lot.

Who exactly discriminates against white boxers, the white owned media???

Pavlik was overhyped and overrated, and if he was European he would have had to do more to prove himself to be an elite fighter.

The American media mostly resents Euro fighters. Lennox Lewis was pissed on for years so it's not a white/black issue.

I thought he was definitely overrated, but the two fights against Taylor changed my mind.

Now I'm back to thinking that perhaps Taylor was just the perfect elite opponent to show Pavlik's strengths.
