Strange Behaviour of Mayweather Fans

[squealpiggy]

Have you seen what the Hattonettes post on the YouTube videos?

Listen, I'm not a black American and I have ONE black American fighter in my top five. But I can tell you that the racism seems to be originating from Camp Hatton.

On here I've not noticed in. On Youtube there's a good deal of racism, but comeing from the Hatton Camp or the Klan, I couldn't tell you.

I would also query the wisdom of Isis's assessment that white people have never had a major impact on the sport of boxing. The best in boxing have tended to be representative of the poorer and less influential strata of society. This explains why WASP types have not tended to be hugely successful since the First World War, and it also explains the rise of Irish descended fighters such as Jack Dempsey or Gene Tunney, ***ish fighters like Barney Ross or Benny Leaonard, Italian fighters such as Rocky Marciano and Carmen Basilio along with African American legends all the way from Tom Molineux to Floyd Mayweather Jr and the current crop of Latino fighters, particularly from Mexico and Peurto Rico descents.

The ethinicities and cultures that have excelled in boxing in the United States have been the ones who have been given few opportunities to earn a living without getting their brains smashed out. As opportunities increase for those demographics involvement as professional fighters in the sport of boxing has waned, and there are signs that this is happening in the United States, particularly in the heavyweight division.

No race is inherently superior at boxing than any other. White eastern Europeans aren't taking over the heavyweight divisions because black guys forgot how to fight. Most of the major difference between "races" are cultural and not physiological, and interest in and ability at the sport of boxing is one of those differences.

Well, I would honestly love to see Floyd lose, but I dont see how Hatton could ever beat him, he's such a easy target for Floyd....

...if mayweather was white he would be one of the most popular fighters of this generation easily.

Bull**** !! If he was white only the white trash losers would like him. Floyd has a big mouth is disrespectful and has absolutely no class. Any fighter that acts like that regardless of their race is going to have a fanbase of losers who act the same way. And I think God that is only a small majority of human beings.

Is it me or have lot of posters on boxingscene been acting strange since Hatton-Mayweather started their promo tour?

Not all posters but mainly the Mayweather fans. Seems to me they must be worried !!!

what could it be?????

I will answer your question directly, brit.

The problem is that there are many people that are justly skeptical of Floyd and his approach to boxing, both physically and on the business side. This leads to conflict between these people and his fans who believe the media hype that Floyd is indeed the greatest. Because Floyd is vulnerable to criticism it has lead to a fanatical attempt by some Mayweatherites to bolster up their boy. This fanaticism is proof in and of itself of Mayweather's vulnerability to the charges that have been asserted against him.

Does this help?

How different is Mayweather (in attitude) than Hamed. Not that much. Do you remember the twelve-minute ring entrances?
...and the Brits loved Hamed.

To be honest mate there were as many British haters as lovers of Hamed.
A LOT of people tuned in in the hope of seeing him get sparked.
His attitude was proved to be as awful outside the ring as inside it as well.

The first thing I thought about Naseem Hamed... that dude could not possibly be any uglier.

His entrances were annoying as ****.

His fighting style was completely redundant... one-****ing-dimensional.

I was not impressed by him... but I guess he was exciting in his fights, so that is why he might have more fans than Mayweather right now, because the "What have you done for me lately?" attitude has people thinking Mayweather is as boring as Cory Spinks.

are u really that bored?

jesus h christ you americans are obsessed with race !!

i post a thread about mayweather fans acting strange lately and it turns into a jerry springer special.

i think it's time to draw a line under race issues now, it's 2007 and from what i can see everybody has equal rights

i'm glad there are a few people who have moved on and no longer live in the past but im surprised how many hav'nt

nothing wrong with being proud of your culture or nationality but behaving like it's still the 1930's isnt doing your race any favors !!

that goes for everyone, honkys, jigs, negro's, rednecks, milky's, nig'z, paky's, ****s, coon's, wops, limeys, gingers, jocks, taff's, paddy's, wogs, frogs and them slanty eyed goouk ****ers from the east !!!
