Yes, you found a hot button in those who are interested in accurate reflections of the situation.
Is his color brought up? Never said it wasn't.
Is the only reason why people are interested in him because of his color? No.
Actually youre wrong. I Initially turned down your bet then said OK to a sig bet and asked you to PM the sig. You never did. I will link the thread if you like.

Look, Pavlik is far from elusive. So far he has been able to take whats given to him, but his chin is going to fail him soon. A pressure fighter with poor defense is not staying on top for long.
There are several good punchers floating around 160. Arthur Abraham?

There is a very MMA forumesque feel to the boxing forum today. Lots of people that are usually pretty decent being passive aggressive asses.

Now, if you could show that Kelly was receiving an unusual amount of endorsements and publicity compared to past middleweight champs, then we'd be rollin'.
With all your talk of extremes, take a second to pay attention. I never said we only liked him because hes white.
What i said, for the third or fourth time, is that once he loses badly, people aren't going to be talking about what a talent he is. People are going to question whether he was that good, or if we were excited because hes different.
Everytime Pavlik fights the build up is all about where hes from.
You cant come on here saying Pavlik is only liked because he is white and that he is overrated and is going to get brutally KOd without people obviously disagreeing with you. Stop trying to act like you didnt come here just to piss people off. The reason this forum feels like the Heavyweights today is because of the bullshit you are spewing in this thread. Since nearly all of your posts are from the HWs anyway, why dont you just go back there?
He was rocking a "Buffalo Wild Wings" hat, he must have gotten a lot for that, lol. Buffalo Wild Wings is racist!!!
I think we're talking past each other. I'm not claiming that some journalists aren't whining about perceived hype in Kelly's favor, I'm claiming that despite what these writers assert, there actually is no hype in Kelly's favor. Quoting an article from a yenta with a laptop doesn't address this. Now, if you could show that Kelly was receiving an unusual amount of endorsements and publicity compared to past middleweight champs, then we'd be rollin'.
