    So much racial insecurity in this thread it's embarrassing.

    I notice the only people bringing up race are fans of the brothers.

    They don't dominate the sport - between them they SHARE the belts in one division.

    They dominate the most important division in boxing.

    I don't see any racial insecurity - I do see that some of the undeserved hatred for the Klitschkos is racially motivated, just lit was for Jack Johnson was a century ago.

    The fact is, most of their haters like you have no white fighters on their favorite fighters list. You could be a self-loathing white guy, but I think you're just a homosexual who's really into black dudes.

    It's not the most important division in boxing though. That's the point you don't seem to understand. YOU say it's the most important division, then YOU start getting emotional and crying racism when others don't agree/care.

    There is no division that's more important than any other. However, there are divisions with better fighters and far more fan interest and money in them than the heavyweight division. That's because there are more skilled fighters, fighters with more appealing styles and more entertaining match ups to be made in those divisions.

    If you really want to gauge the importance of a division, wouldn't you base that on it's appeal to the fans, the quality of fighters in the division and the global media coverage it receives - rather than just arbitrarily deciding that one division is better than the others? Because if so, the welterweight division would **** all over the heavyweight division.


    Do you see anyone in this thread saying 'I don't like the Klitschkos because they are white'? Because I see a lot of Klitschko fans saying 'people don't like them because they're white'.


    A couple more points, which no doubt you'll ignore:

    - Have you seen a list of my favourite fighters, you complete cretin?
    - In order to not be racist, does a person HAVE to have white fighters on there list? Or could it be that their favourites just happen to not include many white fighters, and the only person to even notice that is you?

    You've posted them here. :iamwiths:

    I don't see a single white fighter on your lists, and I've yet to see a positive comment from you about any white boxer.

    The same is true for most of the Klitschko haters. So what does that tell us?

    Joe, for a start you ignored this - as you do when someone makes a response that you can't counter.

    Well done. I'll post it again and hope you can formulate some kind of counter argument:


    :rofl

    You are actually SO stupid it's unreal.

    A few more points:

    - Where have I posted my list? I don't remember ever posting a full list of my favourite fighters

    - What does race have to do with ANYTHING? Has it ever crossed you mind that if you're looking at people's favourite fighters lists and counting the white fighters against the number of fighters from other races then it might actually be you with the race issues? I mean, who the **** does that.

    "oh, I see that your favourite fighters list only contains black, latino and asian fighters - that makes you a racist!!!" - You are genuinely ******ed, i'm sure of it

    - I don't hate the Klitschko's, but you're FAR too stupid (see above) to have realised that.

    The American media people like Teddy Atlas and Eric Raskin have diminished the public's interest in the heavyweight dicvision because of their hatred for the Klitschkos (for not being American and/or black). The heavyweight division is more popular than it ever was in Europe.

    I never said all Klitschko haters hate them because they are white, although that's the most common reason. There are other reasons too - in your case it's
