    Does race or nationality stop you from liking or giving a boxer their credit?

    Sure as an African American When Fury and Wilder fought I was rooting for Wilder. but Fury mopped the floor with him and I gave him all the credit in the world, I was not one of these clowns coming up with conspiracy theories WILDER SIMPLY GOT HIM BUTT WHOOPED....Boxing is 2 men in the ring fighting 1 on 1..Why is it so hard to give the winner credit when they come out on top?

    Race or nationality does not make you superior, hard work and your dedication to your craft makes you superior..There is no race and nationality in a foxhole. it is just a human being trying to survive the best way they know how.I support talent and athletes who rise tot he top and overcome huge challenges. I can not respect athletes who do not work and make a mockery of their sports.. As a coach I preach hard work and focus, so I expect any top level athlete to have that ingrained in their bones.

      For me? No. But for a lot people? Whether they admit it or not, yes. Without going on a rant this race/nationality talk in boxing has become sad. I didn't know it was this deeply ingrained in the sport when I 1st became a fan. Its sad when people allow their nationality/race to allow them not to see certain things or make things unnecessarily bigger because of that. All I care about is talent & skill.

        I truly feel some boxers get flack on here due to down rights trolls who go out of their way to trigger people

          Not at all... race is irrelevant to me within boxing.

            Nah, thats for the simple minded. Me rooting or liking a fighter has nothing to do with their race or nationality.

              Loma,Fury are some of the most skilled boxers I have ever seen, but i can not crown them ATG's until they do what I know they can do..But when I say that I get called racist for some reason. They still have work to do and I think they can pull it off because they are very,very talented

                  No, but I do hate it when boxers won't shut the hell up about their ****** religions.

                  Be whatever faith you want, I don't care, but it has nothing to do with boxing so shut the hell up.

                    It's fun to trigger people from time to time, whether they be from the USA, UK, Mexico, Europe, Kazakhstan (lol) etc. but in all honesty I support fighters that I like as people - not going to lie bonus points for good ****** and Christian brothers who rep God well. I don't like thugs and degenerates from any background, whether it be Mcgregor, Shakur or anyone. People make mistakes but some things cross the line and while I won't wish for their demise like some because I respect the work pro-athletes put in as a man, I won't exactly be rooting for them, I'll just move on and ignore them/any threads about them.

                    There are lots of good guys in boxing, I'd probably say the majority even. Crawford, Usyk, Beterbiev, Haye, Kingry and Luke who are fighting soon, and there are flawed individuals (like us all) but are still good guys deep down like Tyson Fury, Chisora, even Wilder...but I liked him more when he repped God, he seems like he's in a dark patch at the moment.
