    Boxing is all about ethnicity's supporting their man, look at the African-American boxers out there now. Only two guys I can think have a fanbase; Mayweather who crossed over to the mainstream and Ward who has the only gold medal for an American in a generation. I guess maybe Alexander too, but his crowds sure look like they have dwindled even in his own city.

    Unless you're Mexican or boricua, it will be an uphill battle to win fans in the USA.

      He has loads of talent and seems to also work hard, so he's on a good path, but he's going to have to prove it against quality opposition for me to believe. Not chumps like Perez. Escobedo is decent and should be a fair step forward.

          He's got talent and everything. some say his the next mayweather, but mayweather is far special IMO. careful matchmakings, big wins, he needs that. he'll be next big thing. I hope he doesnt ruin his career and will choose thr right things like floyd did. but then, yes he looks like a monkey, especially with his fight against ponce. i dont really like his face.

            Definitely has talent, but needs to face better competition and not be such a biter (biting Floyd's whole persona)

              Nah Floyd is just an outspoken ass, Broner is just a weirdo.

You start a thread asking why a certain fighter won't become great, that means you think he will become great but you wanna read arguments from people who disagree. If you were neutral you would ask "What do you think about fighter A or B?" but that's not what you asked. Any logical person can see what your intentions are.
                    oh so now the TITLES of threads are getting psychoanalyzed?? hahah...."the hidden meaning of thread titles" get the *** attahea!!! hahahahahahahahahahahah

                    you got any conspiracy theories bout my threads for me while your at it??? hahahhaha

                    ok...just FYI the titles are as such because I want to hear the negatives people see in these fighters....hence "tell me why this kat will NOT be the next big thing" don't got shlt to do with how I feel (or don't feel) about these fighters.....

                    hey let me ask you something son....do you believe 911 was an "inside job"? ahahahhhaa
