That is my experience after posting on boxing message boards for many years.. Obviously not all US fight fans (all nations have trolls) but i have conversed with some alarming characters from the US whom certain fighters consume there lives on a daily basis! I for one find the hatred from US fight fans towards other nation fighters disproportionate. Whereas many non US fans tend to support many US fighters both currently & historically. Am i being unfair?
Current fighters like Japaneses Shinsuke Yamanaka & Naoya Inoue tend to go unnoticed by most. Nicaraguan Román González is 3 fights away from equaling Marciano & FMJ's 49-0 & is p4p number 1 yet most casuals don't even know or care who he is! The Eastern European/former soviet nation fighters seem to be the real focus of US hatred.. Probably down to the cold war & US/USSR relations, the fact that they tend to fight at larger weights (which are the more prominent divisions) & probably an ethnic element too as most US boxers tend to be black thus bringing with them a large black fan base! Rather than the apathy towards many of the above mentioned some EE fighters inspire genuine hatred & in some cases a sustained campaign to denounce them. Brit bashing is par for the course too (Frampton, Calzaghe, Froch & Fury etc) but that's always been the case between the two nations but i think the soviet element (Klitschko, Kovalev, Golovkin, Lomachenko) really does upset people! Am i wrong?
This isn't meant to offend US fans but #nonusboxersmatter
In general the u.s will always somewhat discredit other foreign boxers , theirs even such ppl on here who claim Klitchko would lose to Galento the 5'9 drunk of 235 pounds ,theres your answer .....this guy also alledgedly owned his own boxing gym !

I made a thread the other day suggesting Winky Wright was underrated. Roman Gonzalez isn't exactly white either is he! Gosh you are a total failure..
I assume you think this thread unfair? If so then lets use you as an example? Are you a US fight fan? Black?

You have an insecurity about Black fighters...that fiction you wrote tells it all.....along with much of the other crap you post.
Personally, complaining about race is dumbest thing. But #48 followers are said to have small pipi in American topics and trends. I mean Japanese **** works from 154-175 too
