This is complete BS, come in north america, ull see that black/hispanics and every colored man as as much if not more opportunities then whites
There is no doubt in my mind that the Klitschko brothers are highly educated and consumate Gents who seek to achive only personal goals as sportsmen but their fanbase in the US has a lot to do with the GWH psychological phenomena such as Gerry Cooney in the 80s and Tommy Morrison in the 90s... Maybe cause it became uncommon for caucasians to win HWT Championship fights there so emphatically as Vitaly and Wladimir have done, they could have gotten a legion of followers over there... I would like to state that that is a social issue and my contribution to this thread cannot be understood as racial bias or offensive cause I respect each and every fighter and fan - believe it or not, the same and exact content of my message have taken me to be banned from another known Boxing Forum which I can only qualify as unfair and outrageous. We r only 1, Peace
Wayne McCullough won an Olympic Silver medal(losing to Joel Casamayor) Oscar Larios did not , I think that has a hell of a lot to do with it too .
I dont think it matters all that much, whys holyfield so popular its because hes good and had a good fighting style. It doesnt matter what color you are, if your good you will shine black or white.
