I'm not racist, I just don't like "thug" fighters.

FLoyd consistanly parties and goes to clubs and strip clubs, but he doesnt drink and he doesnt smoke, he just spends alot of money.

Yeah, he lives in Vegas. What's he supposed to do- go to church?

Floyd is not a thug. Floyd is more collegiate than thuggish.

He's dorky even; at times. Clean cut, smiley guy.

(Oh I forgot about the "Thug Life" tattoo on Floyd's stomach... damn!)

I don't care what a fighter does outside of the ring, or how he lives his life. boxing is done inside of the ring

This my kinda post! My man deserves some good K for this post!

Yea that's my point of view as a fan, unless you an analygist (if that's a word) of boxer's/boxing's history than it's a different story. People like Zab Judah make boxing more popular these days, nobody wants to see boring ****... People watch boxing to get entertained, at least fans do...As a fan though I don't think people should worry about that ****....

i find it annoying when people like lil' wayne (whos ass i would beat into the ground) act all thuggish and hard but i dont mind boxers doing it since they can kick my ass with their bare hands and in almost all cases its mostly an act.

like ive said before there isnt enough time in a day to be a world class boxer and a world class thug, youre either one or the other, cant be both

I think its ridiculous that people can't criticize Toney, Mayweather, or Judah on this forum without being labeled a racist and made this thread to address this issue.

Not as ridiculous as using claims like "he goes to clubs" and "he fouls people" to say someone is a "thug".

Dude if you would have just criticized them, we could have just argued about you being a hater. But you Kid Achilles brought up race, you used race in your argument. You and kramer aren't that far apart, both of yall are in denial. But its cool, if you don't like black people you don't like black people. I don't know what your saying, your confused and your confusing me. First you say I'm not a racist but..., then it's not as bad when Malignaggi does the same thing, and now Hitler is a genius. I don't know if your racist but it sounds like you been to KKK rally, lol

It sounds to me like:

1. You're too immature for me to care what you think
2. You need better reading comprehension skills.

Hitler has always been considered a genius. Not genius as in 160 IQ genius but a master manipulator and organizer. If you're saying you disagree with that, you just aren't very well educated. The guy was scum but he deserves respect and will always have respect as one of the most influential people in the history of the modern world. You seem to not even have a very good grasp of what the word respect even means, or how it's possible to respect someone for their skill and ability and yet still hate or dislike them personally.

Anyway, yes I do think you're a fool for bringing Kramer into this, calling me a racist because I admit to liking italian fighters, and continuing to insist that this is a racial thread when it isn't. If anything, this thread is an explanation for why there isn't any racism in my dislike of Toney, Mayweather, and Judah. These fighters strike me as ignorant, self absorbed, and extremely arrogant. That's it. If I were racist I wouldn't support Peter, Brewster, etc.

And just because someone doesn't like hip hop, thug, or whatever you want to call it culture, does not make them a racist. Thinking that gangsta rap is materialistic and objectifies women is not exactly a racist thought. I'm sure many black people would agree with me. Don't try to equate being "street" or listening to hip hop to being black. There are plenty of black people from foreign countries and even here in America that don't like hip hop, aren't super materialistic, and don't make it a point to be arrogant. There are millions of black men and women who listen to mozart and drink tea or who are doctors or professors, and they aren't any less "black" than 50 Cent.

There are also mexican, italian, french, british etc. guys who listen to rap music (I have no problem with that) and live by these materialistic values (that I do have a problem with). I am not a fan of the culture, regardless of the skin color of the people living it.

I think hip hop is great in that it's helped to bring the country together, but I don't agree with the materialism, gun violence, and objectifying of women that is promoted by many (not all) of these groups.

That was too good not to respond to.. Personally, I liked The Warriors, the original fist-fighting Crips in LA. Thug knowadays means you have an itchy trigger finger.. That's it.

Have you guys seen "****** Fights?" Those guys hit like girls.

Thugs maybe, "thugged-out" not a chance..

Lil Wayne is an idiot.

He shot himself in the chest because he thought the gun was empty.

I didn't even notice he was from Boston, that explains a lot.

1. I am not from Boston, I just went to school there.
2. You just made a prejudiced generalization yourself.
