    silly question
    fans relate to their fighters, obviously Floyds fanbase are predominately african american because in some ways they can relate to Floyd.
    Same with Wlad and his countrymen

      But he has no power and thus his fights have no suspense even if similar things are taking place until the end.

        Yes but has in the past put on masterpeices that have left people speechless. He can indeed do that when he wants. Problem is, he seems to not want to put it all on the line and instead rather potshot his way to a decision. When has Wlad ever had an exciting performance? Even when he KO's his opponent its boring.

Pretty much if youre a fan of dominant, proficient boxing I think you should be a fan of each. They both also make a ton of money, have a ton of confidence in and out of the ring and both do things pretty much on their own terms.

          I don't care for either of them that much.

          Both very negative fighters, don't take risks and their fights rank pretty low on the excitement level

            weird.

            I'm a big fan of both the K brothers and floyd. But then again, i don't consider myself a ******ed racist.
            and youare basing this on?

              because it's impossible to be fans of two equally boring fighters. A normal being can only be a fan of one such boring fighter.... it would require a special being to become a fan of two such fighters. You might be asking the impossible.

                  its quite possible that there really are numerous fans of both fighters who just happen to be not as vocal as fans of floyd and fans of wlad.

                      Yes, because i don't label myself a racist, I'm up on a pedestal. Are you serious?
                      Stop taking jabs at me, because they don't count.
