Would chad dawson be more popular in america if he were white?

What gets me about these threads is...........

Lets say you are right, that Dawson would be more highly thought of if he were white, what are we saying, that its wrong for that to be the case if its true? it is wrong, but let me ask you something, if majority of people were black instead of white would you expect the situation to be any different?

Pretty sure there would be as many black red necks backing the black fighters due to race as there are red necks rooting for white guys.

Morale of the story is, majority race will always tap into how they can make the most money, if that is appealing to the ignorance of the majority race they are gonna do it, but it does not matter whether the majority race is black or white, still gonna happen, people feed prejudice the way they feed stereotypes.

If he were white, he'd fight differently and have a different personality. In other words, I can't imagine Chad Dawson being white.

Of course he would.The only people that voted no are house Negros and non blacks who claim we see racism behind every bush.

Ahh the irony...

if i was a woman id get more action

I don't think so.

Chad's lack of popularity is more due to a lack of top opposition in his division. He is one of the most skilled operators in the game today, he just can't get fights against good enough guys.

Its not Chad's fault though. He has literally just been methodically going through the best the division has to offer and beating them comfortably. Can't do much more than that.

I really don't like to get into this kind of racial stuff on here but a good way to test this theory is to take a similar style white boxer who doesn't have much in personality and see how he does in the States here.

Since Sergiy just got here I guess we need to wait for our answer after he gets a few wins on American TV.

My guess would be no he won't be more popular because Americans generally don't take to defensive style boxers unless they act like *******s.

No, I prefer boxer-punchers, not defensive runners and pittypatters. I've never been a fan of Malignaggi.

Seriously hope you are not trying to say Dawson is a pittypat puncher or a runner.

Go ask Adamek what he thinks of Dawson's punches.

I dont think there is a white fighter out there like Dawson, the slickest white fighter i can think of is Steve Molitor, but even then i dont think Molitor is on Dawsons level talent-wise.
