Simple quesiton- If Wilder who knocks people smooth the fuuck out went to Germany to fight Kiltshco- Who are the Germans rooting for??? If Spence went to the UK to fight Brook who are the UK fans rooting for?ali as cascious clay was seen as a loudmouth runner. And folks thought as soon as he got hit he would lay down and cry. His first fight with frazier changed all that. After that ppl knew he had heart and character. Tyson was loved in his prime. The ppl that hated him as a youngster hated him because cus d amato took no prisoners attitude during his day. Made tons of enemies. Tyson won ppl over because he went to fookin destroy, ppl love that (no matter what race fighter or fan is). You do understand that a **** charge (i believe innocent) and a wife beating and threatening children claims will hurt someones popularity right? No matter what you or i believe. No matter if its a famous person or your neighbor, that hurts your popularity lol. Not sure what the money and ppv point is. Thats another blackamerican star floyd mayweather. Point being tyson and ali are icons. Another point kovalev comes to try and kill an opponent. Again... Ppl love that on tv. So.... Lets understand that boxing on tv is purely for entertainment and these ppl for most part love killers. Whether they from africa, russia, mexico, or fookin jupiter. Pretty simple concept.
If Spence went to Mexico to fight Canelo or Marquez- Who are the Mexicans rooting for? ONLY in America will they root for the foreign fighter PERIOD. I don't give a fuuck how many knock outs Tyson, Ali, Wilder, Spence etc... Have and do. If they go to a different country and fight that top fighter in their country REGARDLESS of that persons fighting style - 95% of the people will be going for the home fighter.
ONLY in America would that not be the case. Period.Comment

Kovalev is actually no more popular than Spence, Crawford, etc, with American fans. His only PPV fights were vs Ward, who is American, and most of the crowd at those 2 fights were cheering for Ward, not Krusher. I haven't noticed huge American crowds rooting for Loma either!ali as cascious clay was seen as a loudmouth runner. And folks thought as soon as he got hit he would lay down and cry.

GGG is an exception to the rule. Something about his style and personality appeals to people, whatever their nationality. Americans rooted for him against Stevens, Munroe and Wade. Mexicans rooted for him against Rubio and even against Canelo.
The Brit fans at the 02 didn't root for GGG against Brook because they were 99% hard core Kell Brook fans who came down from Yorkshire to cheer their local hero on. Brook brings around 20k Yorkies to all his fights, and 20k was the capacity of the 02.
Another thing to remember is that Americans are hardly ever just "Americans" They are African Americans, Irish Americans, Polish Americans, Russian Americans, German Americans, Mexican Americans, Italian Americans, etc, etc.
That tendancy to identify with the country your ancestors came from, as much as your country of birth, is an American thing.Comment

Said the same thing about Canelo. Look what happenedHe is faster than Thurman.
You know what the good thing is? We will find out if Thurman ever steps up.
You'll be shocked at how much faster Spence gets to Thurman. Thurman also gets sloppy as heck. Sloppy combinations and sloppy footwork.
Spence is about to put a beating on Thurman.Comment

I already made my points. And stone hard facts. And if wilder fought klit here ppl would root for wilder. Great example, klit dominated hw division for years and nobody here cared for him because he was perceived to be boring. There were many hw championship fights of his that werent even televised here. But joshua who is a black u.k. fighter who ko's ppl is fought over by hbo and showtime in order to broadcast his fights in u.s. and once wilder goes on this streak i believe he about to go on i believe he wins over many fans because he ko's ppl and is anything but boring. Nobody gave two ****s about the two monster klits and by your way of thinking they shoulda been more popular than tyson or anyone else. Its just not true. Oh and from all reports when ggg fought mexicans itwas his merch that sold out and chants of ggg even,by mexican crowd. Im just saying you have to have magnetic draw from your personality and you have to give fans what they want. No matter the color.Simple quesiton- If Wilder who knocks people smooth the fuuck out went to Germany to fight Kiltshco- Who are the Germans rooting for???

but kovalev was on his way up before and after ward. Beat bhop from pillar to post, and that canadien guy twice. He on small cards ran by small promotion. I agree with what your getting at but by no means do i underplay the craving americans have for rough hardcore mean fighters. And alothas to do with america being leader in the world in over the top entertainment. If you are perceived as boring they just get entertained elsewhere. And when you have a freak of nature like tyson who looked unstoppable for a stretch ppl love that. Because its bigger than life. Its not like you or i can go into a boxing gym train and come out like a mike tyson. Thats a special thing. But we could train consistantly and say be as good as a juan diaz or malignaggi because there skills are learned in repitition and there is nothing "freakish" about themKovalev is actually no more popular than Spence, Crawford, etc, with American fans.

That was here in u.s. and ppl were saying lacy gonna ko calzaghe etc etc etc. Going hard for lacySimple quesiton- If Wilder who knocks people smooth the fuuck out went to Germany to fight Kiltshco- Who are the Germans rooting for???

First of all you and I both know ggg would never get more love fighting Canelo in Mexico period. Under zero circumstances is ggg going to be the fan favorite in Mexico over Canelo.
Contrary here in America you would have a lot of fans rooting for ggg over Ward, The Charlos, Mayweather, Wilder etc. Pacquiao fighitng in the Philipines will NEVER have his country rooting for an outsider I don't give a fuuck who it is.
Jeff Horn in Australia, could fight: Spence, Crawford, Pacquiao etc... Who the fuuck are the fans going to be rooting for?Comment
