erm are you stupid? He looks mixed raced as that is what he is, He has a black mother and a white father.
He'd stand out like a sore thumb if he was in Nigeria put it that way.

Nice try!! I've known and gone to school with many Nigerians over the years and some of them are no darker than Ward.

Muhammad Ali also had white ancestors in his family tree. Are you saying he wasnt black either?

Listen, I don't know what country you come from. But me myself - I would feel very extremely stupid to call Ward black when he is 50% white, you understand. It's exactly the same as calling him white.

Considering my part of the world (Balkan, unfortunately) everyone would call Ali and Ward black. David Haye, too..........
BTW, Ali had been extremely beloved, Tyson too. Some black fighter are/were very popular/beloved - Lewis, Holyfield, Frazier, Foreman.
As I know, nobody around me likes Mayweather or Ward. David Haye has been some kind of border-line (let us say than solid half of casual fans liked him).
