    They are right Tunney, you do talk almost exclusively about European guys, and they really do all seem to be white.

    I'm not calling you a racist, but that is just what I have observed in your posts.

      It must be difficult for you to make your points without being a total *******.

            I would have to say Chad. I think that the UK fighters really have weaker competition or else I would have chosen Joe

              Have you ever observed slicksouthpaw16, Burner, Evil Meat, Queensdawg, Precision, Addison, DiegoFuego, Bad Barracuda, skillspaybills, Terrible, or natas206 post a single positive comment about anyone who isn't black?

              Lets be fair here - I never bash black fighters the way most of those guys bash white ones.

                Clearly a few of those do only talk about black fighters.

                I guess you are at a disadvantage because there are so few white fighters compared to black fighters in the upper section of the sport, because it is more obvious that you do it. While it is totally unjustified, it is easier to pick up on in your case.

                    I think you'll find he also has had the IBF, WBC and WBA superchamp belts to hide behind at different points in his career!

                    Everyone's record has a bit of padding, but you can never accuse Joe of running away from an opponent, he's gone toe to toe with guys in the final rounds of matches when he's been 5 or 6 rounds ahead, for all of Bernards great attributes the same can not be said of him, which is a damn shame.

                      Maybe it is just me, but...

                      Although it is exciting to see someone war it up in the 12th when they are up 9 rounds to 2, it is about as dumb as you can get when it comes to strategy. A close fight like De La Hoya-Trinidad, then it would have been a good idea, but when you are absolutely dominating the fight, it just doesn't make any sense to me.

                      The good fights usually have two things:
                      1. Engagement
                      2. Competition

                      If someone is up 5 or 6 rounds going into the 12th, it isn't going to be that great of a fight anyway, because it is clearly lacking competition.
