Rocky Marciano: Read this before smeone makes you look ****** with the facts!

[Hard Boiled HK]

I like when people call Boxer's bums only because it reminds me of Paulie from Rocky and it makes me laugh-

"The guy's bum, no class"
"Hey Ya know Tommy your a piec'a ga'bage"

Well you know what I mean, right?

Stuff like:

"Ali is nothing"
"Marciano is trash"
etc.

I love Marciano because he was a great fighter and man. Not because of his race. It is completely false that people who put him as the greatest are racists.

No when people are like SO and SO is a bum

ethnic origins

i see it this this way...........some black guys hate the fact that a white guy was so good.......
i find this amuzing.............its about boxing not colour... get with the program,and put colour aside

Exactly, he accuses me of putting Marciano in top 10 because he thinks Im some white racist. Color wasn't even brought up til he said that and he doesn't know of my Middel Eastern background or my Native American background.

That just goes to show you how he thinks.

It's not that blacks hate him because he was white and was so skilled, blacks have just developed a paranoia through history because they feel like they get overlooked, and that the accomplishments of whites are often mentioned first before the accomplishemtns of blacks in the media. So when someone white comes along and he/she is praised a lot ahead of blacks doing the same thing, they start to question the true reasons behind the accolades that many throw at the white. It angers them. Whether it's right or wrong, they almost involuntarily feel wronged.

Relax buddy, I don't think anyone is accusing anyone of anything. He was simply saying that unforturnately sometimes people do get race involve. He's not saying you are, but some people do.
