The Mayweather / Whitaker comparison

[Fists_of_Fury]

He doesn't fit the definition of a "thug." Ask a local black kid what a "thug" is and then you'll know the true meaning of the word. The racism thing only comes out because if you truely look at how everyone words their disgust for PBF you'll understand. They don't really say **** about Zab Judah and he's worse than PBF at being a "thug" or acting black... which is what most people think the meaning of a "thug" is. Zab has a grill, tatoos, and everything. They ***** about PBF because he hangs out with 50 Cent. Yet the same person would praise Eminem for doing the Elton John version of Stan. I can't stand his **** talking either but after May 5th if he wins he'll once again back his mouth up.

I think 10 years from now Mayweather will be remembered as one of the great boxers.

10 years from now and people will ask.

Mayweather who? Or if he continues to do his ducking ways.

"Ahh the great duck".

At least he became great.

Do you honestly believe that.Im not a great fan of Mayweather but a blind man could see that this guy has great skills.I just cant believe that the American fans dont appreciate what a talent they have there.

I think most people who hate PBF are basically racist...

Good for you. Maybe you should stop looking so hard for things that aren't there.

Floyd can blame himself for his reception. I pity Floyd and understand him in a sense, due to his childhood, but he still needs to take control of his life and act like a man.

By assuming that the 'local black kid' knows the TRUE meaning of 'thug' u urself could be guilty of sterotyping and racism.

it seems as if black jesus is one of the only posters on this thread that is making great points and logical reasoning. many others on this thread are talking about humbleness and how floyd acts outside the ring. your arguments hold no real ground on this thread because you're not even comparing their fighting styles, rather you're comparing their personalities, and that's it. discuss how they fought in the ring. you know, like, i don't maybe defense, counterpunching, jabs, straight hands, overhands, hooks, uppercuts, precision, ring generaliship, savyyness, matches in greater detail other whitaker fought bigger names and never ducked anyone, and overall intelligence in the ring.
