    I don't doubt that racism against Black people is still a problem in USA.
    Muslims in more recent years are the new Black people.

    Crawfords resume is good imo. Burns, dulorme , lundy, jean, beltran is solid , and is fighting postol to massively helps it

    Golovkin gets both hate and incredible praise ("he'll KO Kovalev!"). Crawford doesn't get too much hate partly because he doesn't get excessive praise (nobody says this: "Crawford would KO Canelo!").

    Fighters who get the most hype get the most hate. Also, fighters who have a natural rival who they are not (for whatever reason) fighting, get hate.

    Crawford has only one natural rival: Viktor Postol, and he's fighting him. Hence, the hate is muted. You can't really say "he's ducking ... Adrian Granados!". So in the absence of both good hate -material and excessive pro-Crawford hype, you get slightly more positive than negative vibes from the fans.

    Doesn't Burns have titles in three weight classes?

    He doesn't receive excessive support. The reason people don't hate on him as much as other fighters is because he isn't nearly as hyped as a guy like Golovkin. No ones going around saying Crawford could beat the best 140 pounders in history.

    Dougie fischer does not look black.

    He looks like Peruvian or colombian.
