the black guys in the US soccer team refuse to sing it yet are offended when it gets booed.
great logic.
Its an American thing homey...dont try to understand.
What the fuck are you apoligizing for u l*ttle biatch!!
Coz a few Americans cry about the booiing during their anthem? Well big f*cking DEAL!!!! LOL Can't believe fools are apologizing...this is boxing, man to man, pimp to pimp, ***** to white boy..It isn't a tickling contest as Hatton said!!
You sound like a bunch of little kids "Oooooh im so sorry my people bood during your anthem, it really isnt like us really we are different really" lol
Fuck the US anthem between the fuckign legs!!! The US aint shit anyways anymore in boxing...We got the Russians in the heavy, we got Calzaghe/Kessler at supermiddle, we got Cotto at welter, the mexicans in the lower weightclasses...now where are teh goddamn americans????
there is floyd and he should be sprinting, not boxing...he may actually beat Cotto at that!!
happy?...now go 'ave a pint mate and jack off to your pic of the queen.
Well with statement like the first one you made...you have either consumed a large amount of lead or are the product of generations of religiously strict inbreeding. Either way...you are not all there upstairs.
LOL, an American isn't going to be giving me geography lessons. What do u call a US citizen? Is it not an American? Do you call someone from Puerto Rico an American or Puerto rican? Yeah that's rite u wanker, don't ever attempt anything like that on a European as we are more aware of details than Americans or US citizens.QUOTE]
oh jesus....ok fucktard...he is both...i know that is a hard concept for you...but puerto ricans are both...just like people from the virgin islands and samoa and guam...same shit...they are PROTECTORATES. So he is both an american and a puerto rican. He has his american citizenship. He is BOTH...so he is not a foreignor. As far as the euros winning...you make a valid point. Euros do seem to be pushing the sport at the moment. I have to surrender you that so I digress and retract my former statement or at least ammend it..however..as I said this sport does seem to be dieing here..growing in Europe and the Latin American influence hasnt changed.
It is all cycles and the cycle will no doubt come around again.
Please dont compare Cotto to European fighters, hes already on a different level and always seeks the best opponents
Well ALSO the fact that Cotto is Puerto Rican and therefore an American citizen.
I am gonna inject my opinion and get ripped for it...but I really honestly believe that British fighters are very overrated. I think even @43 BHop would take it. The way Hopkins fights is very conducive to a long career. He is a waiter..a thinker..a supreme strategist..he is a spider with gloves. I think Joe would mess up and get wrapped in the web. BHop only gives you 14 punches a round and there is a reason for that...cause when you get impatient...start a rumble..and Joe would...its your ass.
As for the race thing...come on..get fuckin real...thats the game...thats the science baby...it aint all IN the ring.....I want this fight to happen.
is everyone from America fat with an IQ of 4?
stereotypes are fun, aren't they?
ummm yes to the first and yes it seems like it to the second. Although I dont have the data in front of me.
Statement like what? Please refute my points instead of bringing mute points into this (such as me consuming lead). Is this an American way of joking?
raysan, you telling me Cotto is on a different level than a Klitschko/Calzaghe? Cotto isn't even close yet
It is called a 'Moot' point 'Trogdoor' furthermore one of the three fighters you have listed is in fact an American citizen.
Now by America I assume you are referring to the USA. Which I am sure you are since you probably couldnt name one country other than the US in the Americas. Latin America HAS always been there and ALWAYS produced top notch boxing and boxers. It is no secret Boxing is dieing in America.
HOWEVER...when the chips are down and the big fight is on the line...euros more times than not....choke. Look no farther than Hatton.
Ofcourse the ranks are gonna be filled with Euros....its not very big here anymore....VERY sad..but very true.
You see what I am talking about. The fucking excuses by these lame ass fans man. Give credit where it is due man or just keep your asinine statements to yourself.
AINT THAT THE TRUTH
Not fans...skills...as in Floyd had too many. Hatton was in too heavy a weight class and didnt possess the acumen to hang with Mayweather.
Last Hatton Mayweather thread I even read...done with this one kids.
And Yes, Americans Lost Their Dominance In Boxing. Serves U Right With Ur Fucking Arrogance Thinking The World Evolves Around The Us
Calzaghe, Klitschko, Cotto Will Whoop All Their American Competitors Like The Whores That They Are
What does lead taste like?
Is that so? Weird since the guy didn't even speak fucking english until a few years ago, so now you going to consider Cotto an American is that right?
Why don't you add Calzaghe too while you're at it
Does someone else have to wipe your ass for you too? Fuckin knuckle dragger..Cotto is a Puerto Rican...therefore he is an American citizen.
Puerto Rico is a U.S. protectorate wall eye.
I really wish they brought back Foreman, he was funny and was much more impartial than Merchant, Steward or Lampley. Hell, someone just pointed out and I just noticed that Merchant never looks PBF square in the face when he interviews him but he looks almost everyone else in the face.
I feel ya there...I always liked Big George...very affable...pleasant guy.
" so they could see two guys in underwear dry humping for position. " YEAH SOMETIMES I THINK THOSE UFC FANS ARE UNDERCOVER HOMOS LOL I CANT WATCH MEN DOIN THAT
HERE HERE BRO
I have been saying that for years. That shit goes to the ground after 20 seconds and they have that spandex on...........JESUS.....I get creeped out...sooo gay.
Well I can't speak for other Americans...but I sure can speak for this one and that shit pissed me the fuck off.
I WAS going for Hatton...shiiiit...after that.
I mean I know...everybody knows that Mayweather is a cockhead but I dont care if Hatton is fighting Beelzebub..you boo our song and priests are gonna want him to lose.
We are not the same as Euros in that respect...that is NOT just another song...we are raised different here...we might kill and rob each other but the one thing that unifies us and that we all pretty much agree on is the flag and the song and our respect for them.
The ones to really get riled up are the Hispanics...cause they looooooooooooooooooooooove their boxing and thier boxers. I grew up in a hispanic area of the country. Watching hispanic fights...with hispanic friends..in Mexico sometimes...we would cut school and go down to Tijuana to watch the fights.
I grew up in Chula Vista, Ca. As in 5 miles from Mexico hispanic. Everytime any of the big Hispanic fighters were having a bout on T.V. the entire street would errupt with cheers from the peoples houses. Mexicans screaming....cheering...at the end of the fights if their boy won they would sometimes come out in the front yard and let a few off in the air.
I never went for the Mexican growing up....just to piss em off...oh it did too..man they would get hot as hell. Want to fight ME...I wasnt beligerant...I just didnt go for the latin guy...sue me
I remember one time I was back home when Chavez fought Tszyu. A friend of mine invited me over they were having this little fight party and I wasnt going for Chavez...I wanted Tszyu to win and ofcourse I was the ONLY person in the house going for him......Chavez got knocked the fuck out and I got told to leave for cheering..haha!!!
Nobody likes the white boy cheering against their race....they will say...."oh race doesnt matter..oh its the sport..man against man" but when they get knocked the fuck out by the white boy......yeah..its race.
I love it...i think it is soo funny how people get so worked up over it.
What Bernard said was totally uncalled for....but in our society a blackman making borderline racial comments are more acceptable than a whiteman doing the same thing. Caucasians were never been made slaves by another race in at least 500 years.

The thing is when does it stop? I agree I want to see the Cotto fight because i belive he has been groomed for this fight his whole career but seriously, theres always going to be someone else that he is "ducking". If he were to get past all these guys, people would be talking about the next generation such as Berto, Chavez Jr, Khan and how hes never fought a young guy, boxing is a sport that is non-stop, if he retires now hes an all time great, like he said "I want to retire from boxing, I dont want boxing to retire me" and no matter how great you are it will eventually catch up. I think he has done enough to leave the sport and be held in high regard, but he will fight again.
I agree...well put.
I dont think it has so much to do with Race, but If I order a PPV and my favorite fighter is taking a beating, and some guy is Jumping up and down at my house Especially if I dont know the guy, I would take it as disrespect.
I would probably tell that fucker to chill out or leave, sometimes your a fan of a fighter for many years, you dont want somebody cheering for someone you care about getting his ass kicked.(Yes I care for the well being of all fighters, especially my favorite fighters)
I didnt jump up and down...I wrote that i wasnt beligerant.. and I grew up with these people. Its not like I was just some dude they pulled off the corner.
This kinda stuff happens cause people freak. Its all a big game. It is hilarious....ooooh...how can he say that about white people...ooooooh its a double standard...oooooooh
Joe would kick the ever lovin shit out of that guy. Some peoples kid's...for Christ sake what do they feed some of these boxers? You cant beat Pavlik and now you wanna fight Calzaghe?
I dont care if he wins the rematch with Pavlik that dude better stay out Joe's wheel house man.
