Anybody willing to admit that they like Pavlik because he's white? (Not a flamebait)

[Toopretty]

Pavlik is rough and tough and can punch. He will always have fans. Its not a white thing..at least for most....ok half.....ok maybe a handful..I will see in Atlantic city who comes out. If it is not a boxing crowd and a bunch of usually UFC fans then PAVLIK is the middle american white hope guy. But he is still rough and tough and can punch.

Oh look, you could have a calm race related discussion on the internet. Without name calling or people acting all stupid. Kind of files in the face of all the political correctness that would rather not touch the topic with a 10' pole. It's also a testament to the maturity of this board and that people here are more interested in boxing than sensationalism.

Doesn't matter to me really what colour a boxer is.

[Svengali]

His style is exciting, and I watch boxing to be entertained.

I like Pavlik because as he said in the countdown show - he doesn't go in the ring to dance around, he goes in there to throw punches. That equals an exciting fight. I fell in love with the guy after I watched the Miranda fight. I'll admit I had never seen him box before that fight, but the more I watch his stuff and read about him the more I like him!

Im white and am rooting for Taylor, does that answer your question?

[mad_takamura]

pavlik is overrated. taylor will wipe his ass down the floor.

[jsimps]

PAVLIK IS WHITE, DAMN...

TAYLOR IS BLACK, SHIT....

Who cares?

This fight doesn't interest me either way.

He alledged I was commiting the capital error or "behaving like a dick" but I knew it was because I brought up the subject... Not going to do the same mistake here but I'll state that there is always a basic (legit) reason for supporting a fighter other than boxing skills alone.
