    Why has Wlad fought eight blacks in his last nine fights?

    Oh yeah, because the public is desperate to save its faded stereotypes. Boxing has become a perverse ritual of whites beating up blacks. Soon Jesse Jackson will ask for it to be banned.

      America can send a way better team than that, not even close.

        Whites in American add the population of the eastern European and Russia vs. 40 million just in America. I wouldn’t call that fair game now would I?? Nigeria doesn’t give a **** about boxing yet produced the second best ranked HW who dropped Wladimir twice on his ass. If West Africa had the same funding as Russia and some eastern European blocks countries I think we would have a whole new scene.

          Way better? The top American players in the league are all in that list.

            Whites only win because they have money. It's no fair.

            Why do blacks need to complain about losing so much?

            Just accept it. Black people get their asses kicked by whites, more and more frequently. There's nothing you can do about it.

              Sure they do. When was the last time a white guy run under 10 seconds 100m, oh waits never? The closest thing was a half aboriginal Australian and half Irish and wind at 1.8ms and he got 9.93. The best white done was 10.03 so close but no cigar. Greatest soccer is arguably Pele. Best Golfer ever arguably Tiger Wood. Did you most of the Brazilian squad are Afro-Brazilian, no you don’t Mr French league is competitive as the English. Did you know numbers West African have run under 10 seconds while they Russians with their drugs and technology can’t??? Did you know 47% of the Hall of fame is black in boxing? Did you know that??? If West Africa has the funding it it would be the powerhouse of world sports.

                Most of those pro players wouldn't be boxers anyway. There is very little overlap in the sports. It's like thinking if more golfers put down their clubs and laced up their mitts, we'd have more Corrie Sanders in the division and golf is killing boxing.

                ESPN just created a nonsense article to sell adverstising. It creates a brief flash of dialogue, sorta like political candidates offering to suspend the gas tax for the summer. Gets ignorant voters talking about things beyond their grasp and makes sound like the candidates have an easy plan.

                I offered up my limited view, and if I was to come up with a summary, I'd say most Americans are becoming couch potatoes. The only pick up games you are likely to see is basketball. Probably as many pick up soccer games as football games and pickup baseball, forget it. Local municipalities don't offer recreational Nascar races either.

                It ain't a secret that the average American male of relevant age to play pro sports is going to be grossly out of shape if not obese. They don't do the hard work any more, and aren't active in sports usually. How many Lou Gehrigs, Jim Browns, Magics and Larrys are running around in blubber suits?

                Or for that matter, how many 4.7 40yrd guys ain't in the NFL? How many sharp shooters don't play pro basketball? How many softball HR Kings won't play in the MLB?

                I dare say there are many more fast handed or big punchers walking around that won't ever box, and that's the bottom line. Boxing ain't relevant except for a few diehards.

                Espn article is nonsense. Floydy the #1 p4p fighter couldn't outdraw a local dogfight in his own hometown. He always needed a Gatti, a Ricky, and Oscar to do the numbers. Plus, I don't care where the guy calls home, he's gonna get booed. If he had to support himself on a global tour like Tyson is doing, he wouldn't make it out of Nevada.

                  In boxing you can only talk about the past.




                  Now let's discuss literacy rates, incarceration rates, etc.

                    Can’t complete with us .So you talk about literacy that has to due to socio-economic status and incarceration rates mainly due to racism. Can you tell me when the last time was a white ran under 10 seconds in 100m? Russia with all the technology in the world and illegal performance enhancing drugs can’t run under 10 seconds in 100m. Is this coincidence???

                      It's always someone else's fault, isn't it?

                      When was the last time blacks were able to organize a healthy, productive society without the charity of whites? Oh yea, never.

                      Every other ethnic group integrates at a faster rate.

                      Did white people cause all the problems in Africa too?


                      Being black and racist is simply moronic. An honest look at your people should bring about in you a sense of shame.

                      Of course it does.
