How popular fighters are has a lot more to do with the way they fight than what colour they are, much as you'd like to believe otherwise.

How many "black ghetto Americans" ever fought anything like Wlad Klitschko to you? Just curious. I'd love to see some examples of this injustice you're on about.
I'm not sure I agree with your statement about fluidity. The "American/Slick" style of boxing can now be found in other continents, and in other races. It's like the spread of hip hop if you will; 20 years ago, there were a handful of quality white rappers; now there are hundreds. Dmitry Pirog, Gregorz Proksa are just two examples of European boxers who fight in an "American" style.
