        Though I cant agree or disagree with the Clottely comment I can say Steward seem to always go for who was winning or who had won....

        He always seemed to know "this would happen" after the fact

            lol not at all. But he said kellerman hates all british boxers and likes all the black boxers while he probably is a little british. And I think of racism as only supporting your own race in boxing

                    Foreman's Oscar love was nauseating. The final round of Oscar-Quartey is a classic example.



                    Fucking ridiculous.

                      Max turns into "Malibu's Most Wanted" anytime there's a black fighter involved.

                      Merchant loves some Pavlik, but ALWAYS roots for the toe to toe type fighters, and will generally give both men credit for duking it out. Although he does hate on slick boxers.

                      Lampley is the clearest case of a Pac tard, and you can't really gauge the amount he roots for another fighter, because he's the epitome of a company man. The only time you can tell, he's really pulling for someone, is a Pacquiao fight.
                      no he doesnt, you just want him to. you seem to be one of those racist ppl who constantly accuse blacks of being racist so that your own prejudice will go unnoticed. i could be wrong but thats what it seems like to me because there is no way anyone could legitimately perceive roy to have a racist agenda.

                      does he sometimes root for black fighters? of course. with all the black fighters out there it would be strange if he didnt at some point. but he also roots for fighters of other ethnicities. pacquiao, donaire, marquez, martinez, alvarez etc

                      he likes fighters with heart and a combination of speed and power, fighters like himself in other words. most former fighters are that way.

                      kellerman does root for a lot of black fighters but its the same scenario, he roots for a certain style. in his case athletic and slick fighters, who tend to be black. he too gives credit to fighters of other ethnicities who box that way.

                      that said theres no doubt he roots for a lot more black fighters. but call it like it is man, you cant say kellerman has a racist agenda and then go "merchant always root for the toe to toe fighters". max always roots for the slick technical fighters too even when they arent black.

                      you cant say its due to race when it comes to kellerman but not merchant. either it comes down to style with both or race with both. dont be a hypocrite. and roy isnt racist at all, in fact i always considered roy a prime example of the opposite.

                      you indeed seem to be racist, to only call kellerman racially biased while making excuses for merchant and then completely making things up about roy.
