Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: If I Wasn't Black - I'd Get More U.S. Media Respect

['b']

I wouldn't argue that because Wilders whole contention was that Black U.S. fighters don't get the same treatment as other fighters in their country.

Secondly, if Wilders lack of popularity falls solely on his lack of quality scalps, then y the *** is Ward suffering from the same problem ? (I'm sure you'll find a convenient excuse for him too)

Stop being a "gate keeper" of good old fashion American racism, and start being apart of the solutions !

Fighters in the UK are much better promoted than those in the USA - black, white or arab. Not every white boxer is going to be popular, not every black boxer is going to be popular.

Look at Jeff Horn - Australia doesn't have an over-saturation of boxers and so their one guy gets promoted massively over there. How can you promote Wilder beating another cab driver (again, not necessarily his fault) when there's guys like AJ with multiple belts who beat a big name in Klitschko?

Exactly, notice how other Blacks or Africans don't do **** stuff like this.

100% correct there. I can't wait to hear the ward answer. Lol

I actually agree with everything. All three fighters are certainly not bums, but they are not special. No special effects or attitude in the ring. I call this the "Era of Averages."

I agree. GGG has beaten bums, but he has beaten the best bums available in his division - so is much easier to promote to the casual audience.

Wilder really needs an actual scalp on his CV like Joshua or even Parker for a belt unification

Except Stipe isn't hype, he has proven himself against top opposition. Francis has the tools to beat Stipe for sure, but we'll see what happens if it reaches round 2

like the "if" you put there..given francis can shut the lights out at any moment..like wise with stipe though.. ngannou is just very strong..this is mma's version of Anthony Joshua vs deontay wilder

Yep it's HW, who knows who will win. The fact that no-one has ever reached 3 title defences says it all.

Francis has a shot though, relatively young, large, KO power and lean

I'm assuming the same way they did it for ggg when he was lining up cab drivers to fight.

Lets not vote for Trump b/c hes automatically a racist b/c hes a white ********** like Bush. Lets vote for Hillary due to the fact that shes a white female.
LOL ******** are pathetic GTFO murica if you dont want to be an murican. keep blaming other people for your problem. brb my own people are making excuses to riot and steal **** from my own community lets blame it on other races.

This is like that one time Devon "Black Lives Matter" Alexander blamed chinese people for destroying his black community bc they set up a grocery store on his block(that didn't have a grocery store to begin with).
