Comments Thread For: Spence: I Don't Like American Guys Backing Fury Instead of Wilder

[Oldskoolg]

Wrong! You are either racist or a Brit. You hate Deontay Wilder out of envy and jealousy; Either because of his ethnicity or nationality but most of all due to his success. He could be as brash as he wants just so long as he wins and that must really burn you that he does. So nice try! You are not fooling anyone.

Glad you saw that too

Spence didn't say anything about white or black, he talked about National Pride.

You just expose yourself and your sinister motives by bringing up race when the interview said nothing about such.

Yeah that poster is obsessed with black Americans

[Oldskoolg]

OK and your point is?

Popular because casuals and Mexican American fans paid to see him lose.

I’m sure wilder relates more to the fruits who dress up at lord of the rings annual convention and transformer parties than true boxing fans.
He dresses up like one

I know. Mayweather is hardly popular among American boxing fans because he is just another black fighter; Whom they are both very envious and jealous of because of his success in the boxing ring and while earning a lot of money in doing so. However, he does have a sizable fanbase among British fans though. He is more popular in the U.K. Than he is in U.S.

Weird how some people always try to inject race into a topic that has nothing to do with it. Fact of the matter is, Fury is way more likable, therefore easier to root for than Wilder. He's the lineal champ, took 9/12 rounds from Wilder the first time, then made his corner say "no mas" in the rematch. Also, the ridiculous amount of excuses Deontay made after getting destroyed isn't exactly endearing to fans.

Wait a minute. The topic is about race. Spence brought it up. He said that Americans should back Deontay Wilder because he is an American because the British support their fighters because they are British.

I was only expressing and explaining why that is in America and why we Americans don't support our own like other countries do and the answer is so obvious. Everything is centered around race and ethnicity here in the U.S.

It's because most Americans are tribalist. They place a higher value and priority on the ethnicity of a fighter rather than his nationality.

Which is the reason why Tyson Fury is so loved and popular in America than he is in Great Britain because he shares the same skin tone as the majority of Americans in general and boxing fans in particular.

I know that the topic of racism makes a lot of people uncomfortable but it is what it is. If Wilder was a white American boxer he would be a lot more popular among American boxing fans than he is now.

Errol, listen man. I'm a decades long boxing fan. I'm American and I'm black. I like Fury and want him to kick Wilder's ass again. Why? Because I like who I like, no matter where they're from. I love Breland, but I just never cared for Wilder. Wilder's personality rubs me the wrong way. Same way you just don't like Keith Thurman. Wilder is loud and arrogant acting. He talked **** about Mike Tyson, who I love. He says he could've beat any heavyweight in history. Not true at all. Breland is humble and smooth. Sugar Hill is the same way. Many fights I saw Wilder get outboxed and then his power bailed him out, then he talked **** afterwards like he's the best ever. I don't like that. That's why his skills never improved much. He was too big headed. Fury is loud but he's funny, he has personality and he has skills. So in boxing you just like who you like. I like other UK fighters throught history too. Some of them are: Ted kid lewis, peerless jim driscoll, jimmy wilde, calzaghe, prince naseem, lennox lewis, kell brook. I can talk all day about American fighters I like. Some are: sam langford, joe gans, jack blackburn, original joe walcott, jimmy mclarnin, canzoneri, billy petrolle, tiger flowers, harry greb, kid norfolk, henry armstrong, eddie booker, burley, holman williams, jack chase, lloyd marshall, jimmy leto, eddie cool, fred apostoli, freddie steele, ezzard, jersey joe, archie moore, freddie dawson, ike williams, johnny bratton, joe louis, pep, saddler, del flanagan, robinson, lamotta, basilio, curtis cokes, harold johnson, henry hank, charley joseph, georgie benton, freddie little, hagler, ali, holmes, frazier, aaron pryor, pernell whitaker, james toney, and on and on. A real fan doesn't care where a fighter is from. It's mainly all about can he fight

i would have backed sugar ray over any British fighter , I was on Pacquiao’s side when he koed hatton , I won’t support a boxer if I don’t like him personally and I don’t care if he is from my country.
I know there is national pride and so on but If you just don’t like a certain fighter maybe because of his style or his attitude why should you back him.
I back who I want to back and that’s it and nationality has nothing to do with it.

Stop sugar coating it and beating around the bush.


Spence is butthurt because American whites rooted for a White UK fighter over a Black american fighter. Thats the entire basis of this whole thing.

And if Fury was an american black fighter he’d be alot more popular with black american fans than he is now

[Southpawology]

That’s how much of White America is. Is why so many white Americans rooted for mcgregor against MAyweather claiming “well I’m irish so I’ll route for mcgregor” as an excuse not to just say “I’m rooting for the white guy.”

And Black people will solely back a fighter just because hes black, so whats your point???
