    Mayweather is a fan of anyone in power,
    Fury is a fan of anyone who is controversial.

    Lots of boxers seem to identify with Trump.
    Mike Tyson and George Foreman have both supported him too.

    It's the story of the "rugged individual", the big ego, the big brand name, rising to the top.
    Champions can relate to that.

    Just goes to show that the smear campaign to paint Mr Trump as some racist holds no water at all.

    This doesn't prove that he isn't racist... at all.

    Lol, does Kovalev even know about American politics? I wonder if he even really knows anything about Trump other than "rich guy that became president"

    What does he need to do to prove that he isn't in fact a racist? He has helped black men during his time on the apprentice, he has employed Hispanics in his companies and his close associates are from all backgrounds.

    The thing is you can't exactly prove that you aren't a bigot. There's tons of reports about his bigotry long before he even ran for president, but most of those sources stand to gain from slandering his character. He has done tons of things that aren't what most people would do if they weren't racist. One recent thing that stands out to me is when a member of the KKK endorsed Trump and openly supported him Trump refused to acknowledge the man may be a bad person. I get pretty uncomfortable when you're completely okay with a member of a hate group.

    So in effect there is nothing he can do to persuade you that he is not a racist. I believe it's a convenient label to cling on to for those who have the tendency to develop prosecution complexes.

    They can hold it as a consolation when they tell others how and why they were not able to get ahead or make any progress in their lives. They can just say ''Mr President is a racist and he held me back''

    A bit similar to those fools who blame immigrants for their misery and lack of job credentials, when it is clear they have not worked on themselves and looked whether they fit the criteria for the positions for which they have applied and been turned down for.
