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

I think fro him to step up in competition and to say he is ducking Williams is ******. Why would he fight Williams if he could get a fight with Cotto. Cotto is a tougher test,they are both champions and he will make more money, he would be ****** to take Williams instaed of Cotto. I could see if he was not taking the fight and fighting lesser opposition, but that isn't the case.


    So when journalism doesnt favor your fighter in a ironic situation, you jump to his defense, while in the opposite side of the spectrum, you favor this situation when its your own favorite fighter begging for the title shot.

      BTW, Malinaggi never blatantly fouls like Judah, has no history (whether proved or not) of beating women or even getting into publicized streetfights and being proud of it, pushing drugs like James Toney, or any of that. You can't compare him to these guys in terms of personal conduct because he didn't do these things. His personal record is pretty squeaky clean from what I know. The comparison is that he tries to act street tough and is arrogant, not that he has a similar history as these guys.

      I think you are taking my post the wrong way and making a huge deal out of one small point I made in that I like italian fighters. Malignaggi is arrogant and annoying, and I'm not a fan. I used him as an example of a fighter who wasn't black but who is arrogant and tries to act "street" and why I don't like him that much, even if he's italian.
      So being a dirty fighter makes someone a "thug".

      So Evander Holyfield, Eusebio Pedroza, Edison Miranda, and Bernard Hopkins (now, not his teen years) are thugs too?

      What else would make Judah a "thug" and not simply an annoying clown?

          That is your own personal issue. Cant nothing or no one bother you but you. I think you should look in the mirror and see what your insecure about dude, and quit using race as apart of your reasoning cause that makes it seems like your racist

                Exactly. I don't know how many times I have to say it. Judah, Mayweather, Toney, etc. are clearly not evil people, I just have different values than them and a different personality and there is definitely a clash, sure.

                But to say I'm racist for that is ridiculous. Not everyone likes hip hop or is impressed with people who live that lifestyle and have a lot of money. Financial success isn't even important to me. All I want is to be debt free, I couldn't care less about millions. If I had the millions that many top boxers have I wouldn't buy more than one car and one decent home. Everything else I'd save so I can take care of my friends and family. I don't give a **** about dressing up, being seen at big clubs or parties, or turning heads when I walk by. That lifestyle never appealed to me.
