i was reading a book about sugar ray robinson and he was a big star in his time

dude, be realistic....who has he cherrypicked. 130 and 135 fought the best. 140, the best didn't want it. moved to 147 fought the best. Cotto, Mosley wasn't at 147 when he moved there. Zab was the guy at 147 and he beat Zab and his conqueror. Beat Oscar at 154 and then whooped on hatton at 147. that is not cherrypicking!!!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL !

You're flawless?

this isn't about black and white.

fact is in the last 20 to 30 yrs. black fighters have been the best or amongst the best in the sport and only HW black fighters have reached superstardom.


So I'm saying Floyd has a point...he has evidence/history to suggest that black non HW fighters that have been great have not gotten their just due.

Just like every other non Heavyweight fighter. The only one to reach that superstar level was Oscar. You have no point and niether does Floyd. I don't hear any other races making a big deal.

Duran talked mad ish and Oscar has to on the low. hatton is another that talked crazy. i don't see the hate for them.


If man can talk and then back it up...how u gon be mad at that.

When the **** did Oscar and Hatton talk ****? When the **** did they act ******? They are both 2 of the most polite fighters ever. They are household favorites because people can connect with them. All Floyd does is brag about having money and calls people without money bitches. Thats not how you make fans especially when the majority of boxings fan base comes from poverty.

So if Floyd won the gold, he would have had superstar status his whole career? u might have a point, but how lame is that. in any other sport, the best teams get the recognition. Only in boxing does the best not get rewarded, properly. And it seems as of lately the best fighters in the lower divison have been black and not recognized.

i want to see a white champ come on along who is nice and got skills and dominates world champions his whole career just to see a comparison. i mean even pacquiao just now getting his just due at the tail end of his career. i just feel like we don't get to celebrate our best fighters until their almost done and that is a shame.

Thats how boxing works if you don't like it watch a different sport.

I would say Joe Calzaghe considering he is undefeated and his previous victory over Roy Jones Jr and Bhop , which arguebly catapulted his status to him appearing on Dancing With The Stars .
