Will you root for the world cup team who has the highest percentage of white people rather than the U.S. team, which has more black and hispanic players on it, because you can "identify better" with a bunch of Swedes than with blokes from your own backyard? This is nonsense.
The Klitschko's being white doesn't have a ton to do with why I like them. I like the way they fight and the way they carry themselves, I can identify with it. I can't identify with James Toney or Antonio Tarver never showing ANY respect for ANYONE...I mean at some point in time respect is deserved and should be granted.

I can identify with Duran being a blatant asshole but I find that to be different because he didn't promote himself at the same time he was just angry. I liked Foreman too and he was a mean SOB....I don't really like the guys who brag like Tarver and Toney but I like the mean bastards like Duran, Foreman, and Tyson. I would rather be mean to everyone than not show respect to them...don't know if that's just playing favorites or if there is an actual difference.
