    Yeah! race or ethnicity does not keep me from being a fan of a certain fighter.

    Im a fan of dmitry pirog, lucian bute, katsidis, pavlik, kotelnik, litzau
    Come on man, you are not a "fan" of all those fighters. You just recognize those fighters.

    He asked for personal feelings. How the hell can you speak for all Black people?


    Most of my favorite boxers are Black and Latino because right now they are the best fighters period. I always praised Calzage when a lot of white downed him on here. I take my hat off to Kessler because he can really box and aint all hype. I root for Litzau because I love an underdog and in america poor whites are looked at the same way as blacks or mexicans. Im not a fan of the Klits but theres no denying that the fellas can fight. I definitely would want Katsidis by my side in any back alley brawl. Oh yeah I did like DLH too.LMAFO.

It is the same in latin american countries as well, there are dark hispanics and light skinned hispanics. Saul Alvarez is hispanic but he is white, Pao Gasol is also hispanic but he is white. Sergio Martinez, contrary to what some people on this forum believe is NOT white, he is a light brown hispanic man.
      I get what you're saying but gasol is from Spain, Europe. White people capital of the world etc...

          Im A Mexican Boxing fan who considers himself white of spanish descent! But I do support boxers of other NAtionalities, I have always been a big fan of James toney, Angel Manfredy, Aaron Pryor, Mickey Ward, Sergio MArtinez and Arturo Gatti. But if a Mexican Fighter is fighting someone from another country .I will always support the Mexican Fighter even if I think the other fighter is better!!If the fighter is black Mexican, white MExican, Mixed Mexican , as long as he is Mexican, he is getting my support!!

              Not all people from Spain are white. There are brown spaniards and white spaniards.

              Antonio Banderas- brown
              Javier Bardel and Penelope Cruz- brown

              Pao and Mark Gasol-white

              All of them are spaniards but they are not all white, I have heard that in southern spain the people are darker and in the north the people are light skinned.

              There are also people from european countries like Romania that i would not consider white.

                  Not all white people have blond hair and blue eyes. I am white and I have brown hair and brown eyes. I have never seen any white middle eastern people before.

                  Rudy Fernandez for example is is a white spaniard in my opinion

                    Middle eastern people are considered white, They are not black or asian!! Im just asking what race are brown spanish people? In the state of Jalisco, Mexico where I am from, most people are White of Spanish descent or light brown of Spanish Descent!! But IMO even the light brown are White!!

                      Some Mexican fighters like Julio Cesar Chavez, Jorge " El Travieso" Arce, Canelo Alvarez, Brandon Rios, Urbano Antillon, Genaro "El Chicanito" Hernandez are white of Mexican nationality or Mexican descent!!
