    As an American boxing fan I see that guys like Ward, Dirrell, Hopkins,Mayweather,Bradley, Alexander, Dawson are all still pretty dominant in the sport!

    He meant black fighters but so what? There is plenty of nationalism in boxing. Additionally, people have always supported fighters that look the way they look.

    How about you stop paying attention to what race are the fighters or where they are from.

    A good fight is a good fight period.

    And being a Boxing fan you should know Hispanics run this sport.

    If you like a boxer based on his looks there is a 99.999% likelihood you have sucked a dick in your lifetime.

    That's right except when it comes to black fighters, they seem to get booed a lot in America, even when fighting fighters of races from different countries.

    Only Andre Ward is smart enough to fight where many of his own kind will be in attendance cheering for him.

    Only *******s bring up race, the irony, lol. I like JMM, Juanma, Gamboa, neither are American or black. I was talking about personal favorites that are American and world champs.

    I think it's better for the sport in general if there is successful US fighters. Especially up at heavy.
