Is he racist in the sense that he believes black people are subhumans and should be slaves, doubt it. Shitty thing to do but who the f knows I'm not in the dude's head...Also in another sport this might be a huge deal but in boxing we routinely root for less than savory characters..
    You don't root for Broner...

    Or any american fighter............of a certain hue.

He barely speaks the language, how is he supposed to learn all the nuances of race relations in the United States? .
    I'm not so sure mate, associating blacks with monkeys is pretty universal. Russia is pretty famous for being a racist country, I can only remember specific incidents from football at this moment of time but they have thrown bananas at black footballer and chanted monkey sounds at them.. I would be amazed if kovalev was not aware of the racial element to his post, it seems to be a fairly standard racist insult in russia... Whether that makes him an actual racist or not is another matter, he might have just made a bad call on the humour front.

    You're what is known in internet circles as a troll I think, and I guess you have succeeded in your job as you have elicited a response from me. Plenty of fighters with a certain "hue" that I have rooted for in the past and present, currently; Tim Bradley, Crawford, Errol Spence, just to name a few, as for the past to many to list. I don't care about a fighters race, but you go on believing that I'm racist I could give a shit less since you're clearly not the brightest and just out here to bait and not actually debate.
