    What's with the hate against black fighters lately?

    I'm starting to think the Europeans on this board and whoever else don't want to see black fighters succeed.

    Ward put on a dominating performance, 10-2 on two cards and 12-0 and all he gets from the Europeans on this board and others, "oh he ran, he's a boring fighter, he couldn't sell out the Home Depot Center" when after the Green fight he was mauled for impressive fighting on the inside, and last night Abraham holds more and does more dirty tactics that he does and Ward still gets it.

    Dirrell, went to Froch and schooled him and got robbed, and then schooled and undefeated fighter in Abraham but instead of giving him credit for a masterful performace, he is knocked for faking against an obvious hit while he was down, knocked for using effective footwork and angles, which is what some of you idiots who've never been in the ring call running. Newsflash - Dirrell doesn't have to put his health on the line, or any other fighter to impress you cowards.

    Berto is accused for a long time of getting paid millions for fighting bums, then finally he steps up in class and gets beat by Ortiz and now he's a bum and exposed himself?! But if he would of beat Ortiz, "oh ortiz was a coward, berto is a hypejob, ortiz was coming off a draw against peterson, berto needs to stop fighting junior ww's".

    And don't even get me started on Dawson. He's an excellent fighter. He loses to the WBC lightheavyweight champ and now he's exposed?! Alexander loses to Bradley who is another excellent fighter and now he's a bum?!

    How can black fighters win, even when they win clearly, they still lose.

    I think it's more of an anti-American sentiment than an anti-black sentiment. A lot of non-Americans seem to have a bit of an inferiority complex, which is exacerbated by a lot of the Americans having massive superiority complexes.

    Plus the dominating African American fighters today are too defensive-minded to really ingratiate themselves with the more casual boxing audience.

      that's because europeans take a football mentality to boxing i.e. whereas americans root for fighters from all over the world-- euros tend to root for fighters based on locality.

      it's annoying but it's still better than sergiosexuals who root 4 the P4P QUEEN because they don't know **** about boxing.

            Hilariously, I think 99% of the disaffection leveled at P-Will around here stems back to Burner's fondness of him.

              It's ignorance of the sport more than defensive-minded Black fighters.

              People just don't know **** about boxing anymore.

              They listen to the announcers too much and don't think for themselves.

              I didn't hear any boos during the Ward/AA fight.

                I'm starting to think it's an inferiority complex.

                The Euro's can't handle seeing their idol Abraham get dominated by 2 black fighters.

                  Nah man. P will was hated on despite burner's man crush all Paul will.

                  Ward is getting bated on something serious to.

                  You know what's funny I don't see black posters disrespecting other races boxers.
