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

That easily is one of the dumbest posts I've ever read in this forum.



Just curious, how do you figure? The Great Depression hurt Germany worse than the U.S. They already were ****ed over from WWI and had to pay war reparations. Their government tried to deal with it by just printing money which created an insane amount of inflation. They say an entire wheelbarrow of money couldn't by some bread.

And, to get back on topic, I see where Kid is coming from. Thugs annoy me, not just in boxing but everywhere. I would say that the wannabes are much worse than someone who is an actual thug, that **** pisses me off more. That doesn't translate into racism though.

Yes, Kid's original point regarding all the unnescessary "self promotion" that some of these characters beat us over the head is timely, and extremely valid.

That should have been the first thing I said in response. He's right.

Just reading about Tarver wondering why De La Hoya sells almost answers it.

De La Hoya does his talking in the ring. He's a gentlman. And He fights to win, not impress people with fancy BS..

The public clearly appreciates that.

Look at the back of a 1934 dollar bill. Then look at the back of a 1935.

Not until you stop sidestepping my question on how the Germans were better off than the Americans during the Great Depression. The fact that a small elite could take over proves nothing because there was virtually nothing to take over.

A board of governors controls the US Federal Reserve. I believe they're nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate. Who do you think controls the Federal Reserve? This sounds like it’s going to get ugly.

(Sorry to bring this back)

Lofty: no idea what he's talking about..

What the hell does what I said- have to do with the German people's quality of life during the Depression?

WHERE DID GERMANY GET THE MONEY FOR WWII? Answer my question!

Nothing to take over?.. Oh my, this is retarted.

You think buying a wherehouse, land or company for pennies on the dollar is "nothing?.." You need to learn about the market, son.

The market was going to recover.. "They" knew that.

They just had alot more **** went everything went back to normal.

I referred to "those" who funded Hitler.

Does your imagination have room to allow for the possibility that these are all seperate events- with one ultimate goal?

80 million dollars went missing from the US economy directly after the Crash.

Then inflation, then massive depression after the final 2/3 of all currency were yanked from circulation in 33'.

**** Germany got that money, ******. Not the German people.

Friggin' idiot..

Zab Judah, Floyd Mayweather, James Toney, Shannon Briggs. The attitude these guys put on just rubs me the wrong way. It's the same way with rap, I enjoy listening to the music, enjoy the beats, but I can't stand the image and lifestyle.

Some of my favorite fighters, Sam Peter, Edison Miranda, Lamon Brewster, Danny Williams, etc are black but I just can't go for the thug thing. It's against almost everything I stand for to be so flashy and materialistic and to condone casual violence with guns.

This does not make me a racist. I just don't like that lifestlye/image.

Man you are absolutely right! I hate seeing that ****** bull**** behavior, like when Briggs interrupted Wlad during the postfight press conference after the Brock fight. Or Toney always running his "mouf" and talking over other fighters. But also, when I see someone like PBF bragging about the cars and homes he owns or referring to himself in the third person.

You dont see intelligent, honorable fighters with integrity pulling that crap. You dont see Sam Peter, Chris Byrd, Wlad Klitschko, Sergei Lyackovich, and others doing that.

You ask me, it devalues boxing as a sport altogether.

You know your stuff.

You just told me who staffs and legislates the Federal Reserve.

Now, who controls the Board? Who owns the Federal Reserve?..
