The only reason I'm looking forward to this fight is for the chance that Hopkins shuts everyone up about Cloud. Am I seriously one of the few that see nothing special in the one dimensional Tavoris Cloud? I think Hopkins is going to embarrass him unless BHop is finally shot.
You seem to care a lot! look at how much you're talking about him. Ur just mad he's a hero and you arent:wave:
He's not a hero. He's a professional boxer. Why should his sexual orientation matter? Does it matter that much to you?
Gays are still abused, beaten and killed in some places. The fact that so many people have such an issue with it means what he is doing is inspiring to them, and provokes discussion and debate, and therefore the issue of prejudice and human rights are being addressed.
Its how society progresses.
It was the same with racism or any form of bigotry.
People would instantly ridicule a black person and use racist language and think it was ok. We see the same thing here with Cruz.
The fact so many of the posts concerning him use insults when addressing him shows how much ignorance there is. Thanks for the cliche college lesson. Tell me, what is ignorance to you? All kinds of people are abused, beaten, and killed for all kinds of sh*t. That's life and you or your idealist mindset aren't going to change anything. Enjoy your little shell while it lasts. Good fight by Cruz. He did soooooo good. Maybe he'll get a participation ribbon. And maybe, oh boy, maybe Obama will present it to him. My fingers are crossed.
The homophobia/hate in the comments is sad and disturbing. I hope that those that post such ignorant comments educate themselves, and change their ways.
Cruz may be milking it but I don't mind at all. The fact is that he is the 1st active gay boxer to come out, and keeping the subject on the spotlight for the next couple of days may inspire others to come out, etc. etc. and maybe one day the fact that someone is gay won't be a story at all because the sport/society will have accepted it. Hahaha! Yeah, they're so ignorant. Such ignorance. I hate those ignoramuses. Haha! Cruz is suuuuch an inspiration. He should be given an award for being such proud ****sucker. Sorry, shouldn't use offensive words like that. I'm an ignorant breeder.
He used his sexual orientation to get a title shot he doesn't deserve. It's just another media freak show. If anything, the gay community should be embarrassed he had to take a shortcut. I suppose I'm ignorant now for saying that. Haha! Don't kill him Salido. You'll be arrested for a hate crime. Funny how gay or straight doesn't matter but we glorify **** for being "brave." Nothing heroic about suckin dick. ****in hypocrites. Oops, there I go being ignorant again.
No not at all, it really matters to those that hate him for being gay tho. Its like asking if Rosa Park's skin color mattered when she sat in the front of the bus. It's not her skin color that made her a hero :). This has nothing to do with the civil rights movement. It's being blown way out of proportion. What happens if he loses? Will he get thrown back into a title shot? I don't care if he's gay or not. The fact is there are many other featherweights who deserve to fight for this title. So Im saying it, he got this shot because he's gay and it makes for a great story about overcoming obstacles. People eat that sh*t up.
I never much cared for Ward.
But I appreciate athletes and no athletes deserves to be injured.
I don't wish injury on anyone, but I felt that something may not be right about him. I said a long time ago I didn't think Ward was physically the same as before. These Athletes give it there all, and they have this happen, it sucks.
I love to clown, but I truly don't wish bad on anyone.
Now I'm wondering if his body just can't hold up. If he knew before hand about this, it goes a long way towards explaining the crappy opponents.
I don't wanna be too harsh, no one deserves to have their career derailed or ended by injury.
Gods speed to getting healthy. Did you just copy and paste your post from the last meaningless Ward thread? Haha! It wasn't even a good one. No athletes deserve to be injured? What a stupid comment. Like he's got terminal cancer or something. It's part of the game. I'm so sick of you fvckin retards. Haha! You're just fvcking retarded. Do you wish bad on me yet sweetcheeks? Jesus tltty fvckin Christ.
I just went to Europe for a month and it's interesting how black people in Europe behave compared to those in the States. Basically what I'm saying is that in the States, they act like belligerent monkeys. Not being racist, just real. African Americans are the most classless, undesirable people you'll ever meet. You don't even want to really be around them. I hate saying it. I really do. And I know not all of them fall in this category, but American culture embraces it, even rewards it, and it makes it worse because they think they're being tolerant. The whole world is laughing at us.
Glad to see boxers like Huck who is already established at CW on PBC getting more exposure to the casual fan. I think the cruiserweight division is more exciting that given credit for. Guys like Chakhkiev, Drozd, Masternak, Makabu, Kudryashov, etc. of course Levedev. All beasts and punch like mules. Watch Wlodarczyk vs Chakhkiev if you haven't . It was in 2013 and a lot has changed but regardless, great fight.
I used to hate Fury. I almost lost my shlt when Cunningham dropped him. I said terrible things about him. Now, I root for him. Funny how things change. I hope he gets Wilder and I hope he clips that thug.
keitha - didn't make it up, Kovalev said it in print or video. 100% true.

In these ariticles above, he refers to Grover Young as a pureblood nig**r and it was offensive to him that this sunburnt guy earned easy money. He also said, in general among Afro Americans you get inadequate guys. They have abnormal behavior and he likes these sunburnt guys less and less everyday. You're wasting your time if you think this is having any impact. Nobody cares :wt: Oh look what I found, a white trash smiley icon. Even boxingscene promotes the racial double standard. Now talk about hypocrisy some more.
Great. Another worthless article written by this moron. It's ok Lyle, we were all thinking of you when Frazier died. Your opinion means nothing and you shouldn't be allowed to write about boxing because you are nothing. You're neck and neck with Greisman. Come to think of it, you both look like the same pathetic excuse for a man. I know your wife hates sleeping with a needle dick like you.
This fight has lost so much momentum that I don't even care about it anymore. F*ck Bob Arum. Crooked old f*ck. Mayweather and Pacquiao can retire for all I care. I'm over it.
The fight was close. The difference is that Rosado was hurting Quillin with his shots and you could see it in his legs. They need to let these guys fight. They know what they're getting themselves into. Stopping these fights, especially title fights, ruins these guys. Rosado was close to getting a stoppage.
Great way to counter a ignorant post with another ignorant post
I think its more a case of "YOU" and that poster being so alike just in opposite tribes
Hate is both what you and him have in common Nothing ignorant about my post. Ignorant is just some word that idealists like yourself throw around when you disagree with someone. Get off your horse Bruno. You're not the overly intelligent person your friends tell you you are.
He's right. All these catch weights are making weight classes meaningless. I've always liked Cotto and hate to see him act a little primadonna-ish like Andre Ward. And no, Cotto is not above the middleweight division, whatever idiot said that on here. It's like going to a foreign country and expecting the locals to change to accommodate you. Man up or fvck off.
Says the Haitian. It's a good thing that Pascal isn't a white because then everyone who be calling him racist. Instead everyone justifies him and acts like they get his point. It's nice to see that the racial double standard isn't just present in the U.S.
This right here is why all the other sanctioning bodies just do whatever they want, ignore their own by-laws, etc when it suits their pocketbook. Instead of applauding the IBF for enforcing the rules, you attempt to belittle them, as if champs ignoring mandos and just holding titles hostage for years fighting whoever they feel like is somehow a good thing.
I bet if you ran a sanctioning body you would have sanctioned Garcia-Salka While I agree with you to an extent, I think there is a point where the sanctioning bodies should use some reasonable discretion. And I think Froch earned his place to have a say. He took the beatings and gave them too. Froch makes this call so f*ck the IBF. Save the lawyer bull**** to somebody with credibility, which isn't you.
