After reading some anti-klitschko q/a, anti-maskaev, and anti-marciano q/a it really makes you wonder.

I dont think its racist at all. I think most people have a few fighters that they cheer for cause of there race. Witch can be fun as long as it doesnt get out of hand with racial slurs or hate cause of race. Examples, Lennox lewis had a following from England, Chavez had a following of Mexicans, Cotto has the Portaricans, Golota had a following of Polish, Im Italian and when I see a good Italian fighter come up I get excited. Its kind of like bragging rights, all good fun. I know I went to a lot of fights and used to see the English flags when lennox fought or whoever was on the card that night. Most people had fun with it. I enjoyed it even when it wasnt a italian fighter. Just great fun. Of course you always have a few jerks who ruin things but overall its great fun. Its like the world cup kind of everyone pulling for there fighter or team!!

You obviously have trouble reading what other people write. You did not take my advice and consult the dictionary for those hard words people use when they write here. Marciano was a great fighter, undefeated. When I write that I think Ali can beat him I am stating an opinion. In reality Marciano probably would have caught Ali several times if they fought. What would have happened then? It is purely opinionated. As far as the Russian heavy weights it is the same. Who was greater it is all based on KO power of former fighters, how good they did when they were hit when they were in with good fighters and comparing them with todays heavyweights. It has nothing to do with racism. You have a problem with Ali not going into the military. You hate the guy. In that area you will find great opposition. Don't let your hate for something that happened 40 years ago be confused with calling other people racist.

there is not something incorrect with backing your fighter while he comes out of your homeland or if he's a similar nationality as you--Golota had a extensive Polish constituency while he exchange into in his top struggling with days even although he did not win squat. yet there is a few thing incorrect while a consumer says a undeniable boxer, like Klitschko, is an all-time great fullyyt consistent with race and not what he carried out interior the hoop. Or pooh-poohing the accomplishments of previous greats like Ali or Holmes and putting a Vitali or a Wladimir on a pedestal merely simply by pigmentation of their epidermis. Yeah, there is a lot of racist comments interior the Y!A Boxing talk board yet that wrongdoer is an obnoxious racist and claims to be a criminal professional who speaks 4 languages yet won't be able to write a coherent sentence who followers the flames has not been here in weeks and with a bit of luck he gets the message and bypass away and not in any respect come back.

I am certainly not anti Marciano as he was great in my opinion. But the current status of the heavyweight division is very sad without any real talents out there that I can see. I don't believe it is very smart or wise to try to turn this into a race issue if you know what I mean. I notice that you never answer any of the questions of any of the guys on here that really know their boxing and the history of it.

It's not racism. It's lack of talent on the parts of Maskaev and Klitschko a_p_. Plain and simple.
