why dont black fighters go toe to toe??

[Vicious33091]

taylor bradley witter dawson forrest berto ward are not true warriors. they stay outside and box. i am talking about someone who will keep coming forward and stay in your face to knock you out. theres no fighter today that fights like that. but even in america and europe the fighters that go toe to toe like true warriors are mostly white like pavlik and hatton.

You consider Hatton a 'true warrior'? In the sense that he fights without clinching at all, there my man your wrong. And you mentioned Kelly Pavlik, three of his most entertaining fights have been against blacks (Taylor 2 times and Edison Miranda). You mention a style which is to just rush forward and try and KO your opponent, just ask Michael Katsidis why African-Americans havent taken this stand. Out of the currently active roster theres plenty of exciting black fighters: Samuel Peter, O'Neill Bell, David Haye, Jean Marc-Mormeck, Glen Johnson, Joshua Clottey, Andre Berto, just to mention a few.

Running in Boxing

Running in boxing does not take on the literal meaning as it is understood by non aficionados. In boxing, when a fighter is blessed with lightening reflexes of hand and foot he often chooses to use them with lethal results.

Many “armchair boxing experts” accused Mayweather of running from Carlos Baldomir/Oscar De La Hoya/Ricky Hatton even at the risk of sounding ******.

Even my girlfriend seethed at Floyd’s nimble escapes and called him a “*****”.Don’t believe it was a dumb thing to say?

Then answer this, if your best friend stopped by looking like Carlos Baldomir/Oscar De La Hoya/Ricky Hatton after Floyd chewed him up and said to you “I tried to fight but the other guy ran”

what would you think?.

I’ll tell you what you’d think; you’d think to yourself (while giving him that uh huh look) “yeah he ran all over your face”. In other words, speed kills and Floyd Mayweather has plenty of it. Whenever

I watch a fight where a speed oriented fighter employs his natural gifts to victory the fallen opponent (to save face) always resorts to use of the “r” word-“he ran”. Now I won’t even get into the “cultural” undertones of the use of the word “running” pertaining to athletic African American fighters. We all tend to rely on “cultural cliff notes” regarding styles in boxing and for that there is no fault. Yet I will focus on what the strategy of using ones mobility will mean to Floyd Mayweather in the biggest fight of his life.

So Puerto Ricans are black americans? Did the Moores **** them as well as the italians?

the point is, black is black. If im from france but im black, im black. If im from colombia and im black, then im black.

Black isnt exclusive to being american. Black is your race, america is your country. Gamboa is black, but hes from cuba. We got a name for that, afro-cuban.

you get my point?

Wow are you serious? Maybe you shouldn't be commenting on threads like this until you read a history book.

Black is considered a race

as white, Asian, Native American, is

anything else isnt.

blacks can be mixed with other races but thanks to the 1 drop rule.. if you a drop of black blood in you then you are considered black..
