How Many Black Posters Like Kovalev and How Many White Posters Like Ward?

I love the fact that Kovalev is a racist.

Bunch of fairies on here pretending not to be when deep down they know they have racial bias.

White, I like both of them as fighters, but I don't like Kovalev outside of the ring.

I ain't black or white and they both bums

Making excuses for Kovelev then telling people to thicken their skins...something you'd never do.

Yes he is a racist...don't make excuses.

He called Silka a ni.gger(or the Russian equivalent) when he knocked him down.

He's been pulled aside and warned about his comments before.

In Russian language negro ("negr") does not have any negative vibe attached to it. It is just the statement of race (like black).

That's me! Bingo. But, I hate ********* and many things going on in and around Israel.

It's understandable -- the Sephardim ***s lived in diaspora since the 10th cent. BC... Your kind doesn't share too many ties with the Canaanite motherland...

Ward's father was white too so it sort of negates the thread.

Holy sh.t, he looks just like his dad too!

I'm black and I like Ward more than Kovalev but I like Kovalev. I was thinking about Kovalev today and wondering why he isn't as big as he should be. Kovalev has a "slick" style. Does anybody else think so?

I think so too.. But he is not as skilled as Ward.. Kovalev neutralizes the opponents best shots with his powerful jab(its as good as a right hand).. Kovalev is pretty much straight-on fighter, but what works for him is his range & his ability to work off footed too..

He moved out of Russia because they did not give him enough exposure & opportunisties there.. Never considered for Olympics, not given enough consideration for Other Amateur championships..

100% white here, I love watching Andre Ward fight. When he is active he is one of my favorite fighters.

Kovalev is also one of my favorite fighters to watch, and I cant' wait to see them fight.

I can understand feeling a sense of brotherhood/camaraderie for a member of one's own race. However, to have a blind bias for a member of one's own race & shun other races, instead of making an honest assessment of their character and abilities is foolish.
