    Would he still be as well thought of by some ?

    Would he still be as highly criticized by others ?

    I don't think it really matters

    I'm not Easton European or American so it doesn't really change my views on him

    No he wouldn't, he would not be seen as a God by most of the Rocky fans.

    I didn't hear that story , would you care to elaborate ? I did hear he fought my childhood Doctor ( Doctor Jack ) in a four round exhibition bout at St Athan air base though , Doctor Jack told me that himself over a few pints one afternoon .

    Imagine if people’s opinions on fighters abilities had nothing to do with their ethnicity?

    It was posted by me ,its currently on page 6 or 7 and drew little interest, posters would sooner discuss Primo Carnera.
