Check out what Jack Johnson had to go through..

Johnson's efforts to win the world heavyweight title were thwarted, as world heavyweight champion James J. Jeffries refused to face him then. Black boxers could meet white boxers in other competitions, but the world heavyweight championship was off limits to them.

However, Johnson did fight former champion Bob Fitzsimmons in July 1907, and knocked him out in two rounds.[1] There is a report that Johnson even fought and KO'd Jim Jeffries' brother Jack, and taunted him about it to force a fight, with no success.

Johnson finally won the world heavyweight title on December 26, 1908, a full six years after lightweight champion Joe Gans became the first African American boxing champion. Johnson's victory over the reigning world champion, Canadian Tommy Burns, in Sydney, Australia, came after stalking Burns around the world for two years and taunting him in the press for a match.[11] It is believed that Burns had only agreed to fight Johnson after promotors guaranteed him $30,000.[6] The fight lasted fourteen rounds[12] before being stopped by the police in front of over 20,000 spectators. The title was awarded to Johnson on a referee's decision as a knockout.

Pascal & Adonis are both black.

So is Broner

Imagine if a "white" fighter said that. Smh.

[Weebler I]

he clarified his statement in his next sentence "...you know, from the same community...the Haitian community"

That makes more sense. I picked Pascal but part of me wishes Bute had won because he would have fought Stevenson. It doesn't feel like Pascal will fight Adonis or Kovalev.

Same. Though, Bute was looking to a Froch rematch instead of Kovalev. Looks like Kovalev is going to have a list of bums to KO this year until Adonis steps up and fights him, most likely being the last fight of the year for them.

I bet Kovalev will be happy to hear that. Now there are two top black boxers in his division that he can enslave
