Just curious. Why is it that boxing fans will embrace crude, low skill level guys like Antonio Margarito or Ricardo Mayorga? Who even without great traditional boxing skills reach the top of the game. But a black fighter like Wilder that does the same is always hounded about his lack of traditional skills.

No reason to act like that's not his thing - he's known for the right hand. He has a jab, decent left hook, we've seen him shorten up some shots and try some uppercuts, but cmon it's the right hand we come to see, right?
It's how patient he can be in trying to find a home for that right hand is what makes him "good" - despite the lack of the rest of comprehensive game - got him this far as he's saying....it's the HWs so sometimes it's like that.Comment

Race and nationality play heavy in the criticisms that are levied in boxing as well as fandom. When someone brings that up it doesn't mean that all critics or fans are fueled by race or nationality. It shouldn't be ignored though.Comment
