    So he made a racially charged comment that was also completely untrue when he was working for a network that heavily focuses on African-American content.

    I have no pity for a man that ******.
    Yeah. It was a ****** comment in the way he said it. I understood it as there now being a variety of nationalities and ethnic groups in boxing, with a lot coming from the old Soviet Block. You have Christians and ******s, Russians, Chechens, etc. I think the worst thing was that he wouldn't apologize. So he was committed to that comment and how he said it. Which is too bad because I really appreciated him when he would call fights in Britain. He was the only objective commentator over there.

      Oh yeah, there's no denying his talent. I think it all went down the way it did largely because Paulie and his friends were drinking the Trump kool-aid really hard while he was in the White House. And it doesn't matter if you like or support Trump or not, the fact of the matter is Trump was the President and could say (almost) anything with no consequences. That's not the case for everyday people.

      It's just crazy. You won't walk back a comment where it's a fact that you're wrong? When your job is on the line? Man.

          For sure. I'll probably get a lot of hate because there's a bunch of Trumpsters on this forum, but if that guy died today from all the cheeseburgers floating around in his arteries, it wouldn't be soon enough. They guy single handedly changed the culture in the US. He made it "okay" to be a bigot. He made it "okay" to be a sexist. He made it "okay" to be a racist. It was unreal. And somehow when the majority of the population pushed back, it made it an infringement on the First *********. That they were being "silenced." No. People can say whatever the hell they want in the proper places. But if people get upset, that's their right to the First ********* too. It's as if it can only be one-sided with these people. It's literally insane.

          Yeah! Walk that comment back! Prove to me that you said what I thought you said and not what you actually said because I really didn't want to lose one of the best color commentators in the sport.

          (On that note, Bradley is getting better by the minute. I'm pretty happy about that. I just wish he wouldn't be such a cheerleader.)

                I'm looking at the IBF rankings, it looks like the #1. ranked welterweight contender Kudratillo Abdukakhorov could be called to fight the #4. prospect Jaron Ennis, as Shawn Porter and Manny Pacquaio respectively the #. 2-3 are going to lose their positions in the IBF ranks, since Porter is scheduled to face Terence Crawford for the WBO, and Pacman is apparently retiring.

                This is a very meaningful fight for both.

                  Vlad Sirenko from Ukraine has a great chance being a future heavyweight champion . There’s a dozen guys at heavyweight coming in so don’t blink you might regret what you are asking .

                    Yeah, Usyk will always be deserving of respect. 2nd best Cruiserweight of all time.
