When I came to the boxing forums about 10 years ago, and I saw that the good white boxers like Wladimir Klitschko and Joe Calzaghe were constantly discredited and disparaged by black fans (and by self-loathing white guys).
The boxing establishment in the USA favors black athletes over whites, Asians and Hispanics.
Some examples:
Kessler-Ward ref
Ward not needing to travel during the Super Six
Kovalev-Ward I & II
Pacquiao-Bradley I
Rigo-Flores last night
Max Kellerman's and Teddy Atlas' commentary.
I see African-Americans as being very privileged in boxing, the perfect example of this being Andre Ward. I root for the disadvantaged and the underdogs, regardless of race, and I'd love to see fair treatment for Asians, Whites, and Hispanics in boxing.
