Seriously, how many people love Pavlik so much because he's white and you are also?

    I just think it's not an important question because the answer is obvious. There is a very small minority of Pavlik fans who are influenced by his complexion, but for the most part, his hype is due to other things.

    I think it's a pathetic question for the 1950s.

    For the record, as if clarification was needed, give me a true sportsman with ethics, class, and the ability to form a cogent sentence, and I'll be the biggest fan he has.

    That's a load of bull****, Mayweather gets mad hate because of his culture and because he's a black man who doesn't give a **** what the public think!!, if Mayweather was white the haters would love his ass without doubt.

    I disagree. Mayweather gets hated because he is the best P4P fighter in the world, and everything he says and does is going to be blown out of proportion. He's always going to be scrutinized extra hard since he's the man in boxing right now. And when you are at the top, you're going to have your share of haters.

    Of course, if you think that if he was white that a lot of his haters would love him, doesn't it also follow that if he was white some of his die hard fans would end up being haters?

    Tyson was a black man who didn't give a **** what the public thought. Same with Ali.

    True. Not only did Calabrese insult Boy Floyd but also Wright, Hopkins, and Jones. WTF did Wright ever do to anybody? If thats really the way everybody feels, then im gonna laugh my ass off when Mayweather embarrases Hatton and does the cha cha! Enough of this "everybody was wating for a nice humble guy to come along" ****!

    I mostly agree with this and to answer your question - Lamon Brewster.
    Off course he had no staying power but he was a class act while he was in the limelight

    You honestly think that if Floyd was white, he'd be loved by a lot of his current haters?

    Look how much hate Hatton gets from Americans who call him fat and a wrestler. He's only hyped in Britain.

    Klitschko has his fair share of fans, sure, but Tyson, Holyfield, and any other world class American heavyweight were 1000 times more popular than him.

    Miranda had more hype coming into the Miranda-Pavlik fight than Pavlik.

    MSG was sold out for Judah-Cotto, neither of which are white.

    The Pavlik-Taylor fight wasn't even completely sold out with 5,000 Youngstown fans attending.

    And I could go on for hours probably...

    I'm white, have liked Pavlik since the first time I saw him because he brings 100% the whole fight. BUT, I was picking and rooting for Taylor. I'm a fan of boxing and personalities, I could care less about the color of skin.
