    Of course. Nationality is a huge deal in boxing.

    And if Floyd was French for an instance, he would have trouble making big paydays.

    If he were white, definitely. The great white hope sells. Most of the US is white. And let's face it, we relate better to our own ethnicity, whatever that may be. Had Pavlik gone on to big things, he would've been huge because America is always looking for the next great, white fighter.

    Now if he were black, he would probably be less popular because Pac doesn't have much of a personality and in boxing, you need more than just skills to transcend the sport. So a great, black fighter with no personality will probably find it hard. Just ask Andre Ward or Tim Bradley. Granted they aren't as exciting as Pac but it just shows you need some X factors to transcend the sport.

    The Cooney-Holmes fight is one of the most hyped fights in history and a lot of it had to do with the fact that Cooney was white. Now imagine a white fighter with the actual skills and talents who wins titles in 8 divisions and kos people in impressive fashion? He would've been the greatest thing sinced sliced bread.

    This is a contradiction to MODERNFONZIE'S false report. He changed Pacquiao's name to Khan.. Some *****s here are desperate just to protect Floyd's ass

    Yep, it will and real men know this. Unfortunately most of the
    poster on here are not that. Hagler is an aficianado and most
    of these newbie tards can't except his insight b/cause it
    offends there ***** standards, but it's just telling it like it
    is.

    They should ban that poster MODERNFONZIE. He's destroying the credebility of the great Marvin Hagler by making fake story
