I've read more than enough comments from people who actually are going around saying things like,
"The 'white man' will not allow Mayweather to break Marciano's record."
WTF? Are people really that crazy? So what happens when Floyd comes out of retirement for the third time and achieves 50-0? Will you guys finally stop polluting the environment with your imaginary racism?
People believe Race was the reason Larry Holmes was robbed against Michael Spinks. The believed people did not want to see Holmes surpass that record so the judges robbed him. So some think the same would have happened to Floyd. The thing is circumstances are different than they were 30 years ago plus Floyd is a Vegas cash cow, it would be damn near impossible for him to get robbed in Vegas. I he were to lose in Vegas it would have to be by a 12 round one sided beat down or a knock out loss. Floyd will never lose a close fight in Vegas, and I'm saying this as a Floyd fan.
Was racsim also the cause of the injuries Holmes carried into the fight?
It is curious that Holmes lost his first fight while on the verge of tying Marciano's record. But unfortunately, Holmes was clearly documented as significantly injured going into the fight. He even had one doctor warn him about the danger of suffering paralysis if he threw punches.
