Does this fight build-up feel like Holmes-Cooney?

    I agree. I was rooting for Holmes in that fight.

    Poor bastard never could get respect, and the **** they did to him on the spinks fight was just plain wrong!

      We live in a more PC time. The political correctness has tempered some of the OVERT stuff.

      ....But look slightly beneath that veneer.

            There have been a lot of fights with the racial tension of Holmes-Cooney lately. The white man Kelly Pavlik brutally KO'd the black man Jermain Taylor, that caused a lot of racial tension on here. The white Eastern European invasion of the Heavyweight division caused tension at first, but now my fellow Eastern Europeans have completely taken over the division and they have to fight eachother now(Wlad vs Sultan). There has been a Huge Increase of great white fighters and that is gonna lead to more white/black fights with racial tension.

              I don't agree, simply put if Floyd was a nice guy only us brits would be backing him. The Americans would be unanimous that Floyd was going to embarrass him.

                  Oh, YouTube has become in-friggin- sane.

                  Some of those comments are unbelievably ugly.

                    Funny, i don't remember either fighter, either camp, or anyone associated with the fight mentioning race at all Dios.

                    But then again, It is well known that you march to the beat of a different drum, is it not?

                    Not long now till the long cold banishment Dios. Pack alot of reading material my freind!

                      I agree here. At least in terms of recent history.
