Black Boxers have the balls to move up in weight

[gancho_al_igado]

yeah dude color has nothing to do with it, dont be ignorant and do research before you make such a statement, fighters of all colors move up in weight class.

[oldgringo]

Key word: some point.
Mayweather fought the name DLH.. but he didn't fight the fighter DLH that we all knew back then.
Baldomir?

And you mean the old fat Trinidad who even at his prime would have been way smaller then Roy??

Anyway, black fighters aren't the only ones who move up weights.. I got many examples of other fighters of different ethnicities such as Roberto Duran that fought in 6 different weight classes..

Correct. Bob Fitzsimmons, Billy Conn, Mickey Walker, Erik Morales, Julio Cesar Chavez, Marco Antonio Barrera, Manny Pacquiao, Alexis Arguello, Jeff Fenech, etc etc.

Dumb thread.

Lets talk about Jeff Chandler, Terry Norris and Marvin Hagler though. Those dudes never went up in weight. Yet they are respected. Hmmm...

All evidence that this isn't a race related issue, just a topic started by someone with a race related agenda.

The thread starter is a moron

Fighters from all races have moved up in weight

Ricky Hatton and joe calzaghe? Forty plus fights at the same weight?

You will always see haters knocking Black boxers like Roy Jones & PBFM careers. For example some people say PBFM never beat a REAL WW. They disregard the fact he beat Oscar, Judah, & Baldomir. All 3 men held the REAL WW title at some point in their career.

Some Hate on Roy claiming he never beat anyone. They disregard victories over future HOF fighters like Trinidad, Hopkins & Toney. The fact is Floyd is a LW & Roy is a MW. I for one am happy they decided to move up in weight in their careers instead of camp out a the lowest weight class possible their entire career like some others.

They just jealous that fighters of their race lack the godlike talent black fighters have.

People dont hate Mayweather because he never fought a real ww. They hate him because he was bringing up victories from 6-7 years ago as the reason he's so great TODAY despite only facing 1 REAL challenge since then

Read my post before you make a post. I didnt hate on anybody. It probably just makes you sick that I gave 2 Black fighters like Roy & Floyd props for moving up in weight.

I dont give a **** why some people hate Mayweather. Although I am sure some of it has nothing to so with boxing. He was just 1 example I used of a modern day Black fighter moving up in weight. BTW when did what a fighter did 6 years ago not matter anymore?
