When Ethnic, Nationalistic and Racial pride leads to DisRespect....

You're barking up the wrong tree homie. Notice how the only people to respond to this thread are the ones who already know its common sense while the ones that spout the racist bs have avoided this thread like the plague because they dont wanna hear it and will continue to be retarded

I don't know if people are taking what is said on the internet too seriously. Most of the crap that is talked about other races/nations/religions comes from silly kids who don't know better, or is done in an attempt to wind people up and create banter. No doubt it sometimes goes too far but rivalries are what make sports great. The atmosphere at Cotto-Margarito for example will be 10 yimes better due to the clash of 2 great fighting cultures who have had a historic rivalry.

What I would like to know is , and don't take me out of context here because I think its great to be proud of your country, but what do these countries have to be soooo proud of that they can say to someone that "we're better than you". Many of them are poor, actually the majority of them are poor.

lol solis is my 2nd favorite fighter sry if the nickname offends u im not offended by that mexican assassin stuff anyway ill change the sig next week anyway for the margarito (my 3rd favorite fighter) bout i hear ya, but manny didnt give himself that nickname- some of his fans "bestowed" it upon him, an "honor" he wants nothing to do with. he's good friends with morales to this day.

See, this is how retarded some of these Meeehicans are... They complain about people attacking them while they feel its ok to bad mouth other ethnicities... Its ok though they arent really known for the sharpness of their minds... wow... thats messed up man. i've said my piece and don't intend to moderate this kinda BS if y'all wanna infiltrate it with bad vibes... i'm out.

thanks for the props, but "pinoy killer solis"? That's kind of the nature of what I was talking about...

Very nice post

if I get "pwned" I already know the person i'm debating with isn't worth the time. It's an immediate age/maturity gauge and If a person can't see past their flag they're also a complete waste. Yes owning someone is big on this site. That's kinda like being a slave

Yes I thought when I joined there would be less racial clicks, more shared discussions on boxing and less "owning" (unique to BS). if I get "pwned" I already know the person i'm debating with isn't worth the time.

i said obvious to "Ingelligent" posters. There's a great # of people who come on here to just shoot at the mouth. Yes I thought when I joined there would be less racial clicks, more shared discussions on boxing and less "owning" (unique to BS).

gd post man but people been saying this for a while now it wont change anything cause there stil alot of dik heads around

I have love for great fighters in general, regardless of race, country of origin, religion, or ethnic background. Some of my faves right now include Pacman, Cotto, Israel Vasquez, Kelly Pavlik, Juan Manuel Marquez, Roy Jones, Casamayor, Floyd, David Haye, Soto, Guzman, B-Hop, Nate Campbell, Juan Lopez and Roy Jones. I find it particularly sickening when people get overly nationalistic and talk shit against an entire ethnicity, race, country, or even a whole continent, just because they feel compelled to have an ethnic rivalry. Some of the racist insults on BOTH Cotto and Margarito on Youtube AND this forum are simply ridiculous. The worst level of this is when people who have NEVER laced up a pair of gloves to hit a heavy bag, let alone spar or compete, call warriors who put their lives on the line for our entertainment (especially CHAMPIONS like Margarito and Cotto) "pussies," "bitches," etc. This is so preposterous that it makes me want to pull my hair out. I view this as possibly the worst sign of disrespect and a reflection on the lack of courage of the idiot projecting such unwarranted hatred... I personally think Cotto will come out of this fight with the win, but certainly not because I don't like Mexican fighters. I just think that he is more versatile and has enough tools to win in what I expect to be a tough fight. That opinion does nothing to change the fact that I believe Margarito is a true warrior with a tough, gritty, relentless style that would make for a very tough fight for any elite welterweight.... That's called having an education opinion, which is just that - an OPINION that might prove to be right OR wrong in the end. Nevertheless, it is still respectful to both champions. I see examples of the ignorant boxing fans who CANNOT leave race out of it all the time: it comes in all varieties: Filipinos hating on Mexicans, Mexicans talking reckless shit on Puerto Ricans, whites getting behind only "their own" caucassion "white hopes," african-americans insisting blacks are always better than the "white hypes", Americans talking smack on European "frauds," Mexicans talking smack on Filipinos, Puerto Ricans talking endless shit on Mexicans, Europeans biasedly promoting their fighters as the best, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.... Of course, any intelligent fan of any race/nationality/ethnicity will not stoop to comments that belittle a whole people, yet these balanced, rational minds are usually the ones content to leave it alone, while its the idiots who continually blab their mouths or type away in the internet forums... Let's all try to get over the overly-nationalistic pride thing and get real. In fact, if you feel compelled to root only for your country, race, whatever, that's fine by me, but in the end, at least try to be respectful in the way that you go about it. The contrary only reflects negatively upon your own intelligence.... Good post.

I know mate thats why i feel the post was a good post to kinda let mans know thanks dudes. hopefully the folks that are spreading the negativity will read it too.
