Boxing is about sticking to their own. And there are over 40+ Mexicans that supports their own.

Too bad boxers like Bradley and Williams isn't as recognized but overrated bums like Margarito and Juan Diaz is.

Bradley and Williams can easily disposed of them overrated bums. Wait, Williams already skooled that bum and a coward Margarito.

Margarito needs to take his tornado up 154+ because he been sticking around fight smaller fighters @ 147 in the 12+ years.

Im getting to think you must not like Mexicans.......Its not our fault your wife fantasizes about the "Gardner" or "Pool Boy"...Damn Mexicans huh..I feel ya..

The Bum Margarito is Champ and Well Diaz Held 3 belts..What have you done lately...Oh yea Woke up in the Morning looked outside seen the Mexican cutting your grass wife is missing and van is a rockin...Damn it feels good to be a Mexican........................aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaand let the racist comments begin...

Check this out. A poster makes a thread asking the question why Mayweather fans like Williams. Trying to conclude that Mayweather fans like Williams simply because he is black.


Floyd fans, why are you guys so big on Williams?

They all saying that Blacks boxing fans only follow other black fighters.

You shouldn't take the posters on this board seriously

African Americans in general are not very patriotic and do take issue with there own country. With that said they do like thier fighters but its not enough. The only way that a Black fighter can be a draw is by appealing to whites as well. Like SRL. He had cross over appeal after the Olympics and it made him huge. If you noticed early on they tried the same type of appoach with Jermain Taylor. HBO thought he would be there young Golden boy. This time it didn't work even though he had the likeable persona and seemed to be marketable. He was just missing that xfactor or charisma to make people care. The easiest way for an African American to be a draw is to be a villian. Blacks from other countries will have their people behind them. Guys like Sam Peter and Ike Quartey are/were huge in Africa. I also have a feeling you may soon see many Haitians backing Andre Berto.

Maybe fighters like Clotty and Peter have immense suport in Africa because they lack champions in boxing?

It's just like the movie industry that China man's only can do Kung fu shieet and nothing else.

In boxing if your Black and ain't Villain or make remarks like "Ain't no White boy is gonna beat me" nobody cares about your black ass.
