Why can't Pacquiao get the benefit of the doubt from the judges vs. Black opponents? | BoxingScene Community

Why can't Pacquiao get the benefit of the doubt from the judges vs. Black opponents?

Left_Hook_Tua11y ago

Agapito Sanchez. Technical Draw. Even though all Agapito did was foul. A draw even though Sanchez was penalized 2 points for excessive low blows and headbutts? Timothy Bradley. Robbery in the first fight. How do you score that fight for Bradley? Floyd Mayweather Jr. A close fight but judges gave every close round to Floyd? It's as if Pacquiao has to win by landslide or knock down Black fighters to get the round. They give Pacquiao the benefit of the doubt vs. Mexicans. Especially the 3 fights with Marquez that was close. Is it a racial thing? Or just biased American judges?

I've also seen him pissed. So perhaps half Irish, half Canadian and half Scottish. What about Virgil was he black?

Are Haitians black? majority are. i think most of the caribbean is black except cuba. cuba is more white/native mix. jamaica, haiti, dominican.... majority black.

roddy piper was canadian. It was an example. And that proves my point. He's also white.

You're right. Comparing a race with a nationality. That's like saying, Roddy Piper isn't white. He's Scottish. roddy piper was canadian.

You're right. Comparing a race with a nationality. That's like saying, Roddy Piper isn't white. He's Scottish. It's like saying black isn't Dominican.

10y ago

huh? black is a race. negroid. caucasoid (woods), negroid (brothers), mongoloid (ching chongs) were the original race classifications. dominican/hispanic isn't a race. I confused nationality

Look what the hell is going on here.. The evidence is clear.. It's intensive nationalism laced with a LITTLE bit of racism. I think that the racist element is more geared toward Manny being yellow than his opponents being black. Everyone knows who REALLY won those fights, so who cares what a bunch of 80 year olds who push what buttons they're told to score for. http://media.giphy.com/media/14k8wcmLG8CQ9O/giphy.gif
