This only applies to America's toxic culture.

Anthony Joshua is black and isn't loathed in Britain...yet he's a huge star over there.

Love what Bread said about pressure in a fight making people do odd things. I had Harrison up in the fight but Charlo's pressure was fatiguing Tony both mentally and physically, his showboating as the fight went on was some kind of false bravado that he did as a result of the fatigue and pressure.

Flamboyant and over the top has always won over. You can find normal people everywhere.

I don't know about that. I bet if there a Muhammad Ali Jr. who boxed, he would get as many chances as Chavez Jr.

Use another example because Laila Ali is one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) female boxer of all-time lol.

I doubt that. Tommy Hearns and Aaron Pryor had sons that boxed. I don't remember either one getting half the pampering Chavez Jr gets.

'....Jermell forced Tony to fight the most perfect fight he had ever fought and that takes a level of concentration he had never showed before. His mind needed a relief from locking in for so long. It’s not easy being better than you ever were. Boxing more mental than you guys realize....'

Absolutely - mental pressure wears fighters out - its what Loma did to Linares (and will likely do to Teo), took him to a level where he mentally could no longer stay with the pace at the end. JCC Sr did the same thing at his peak.
