Comments Thread For: Plant On Drilling Dirrell: I'd Say It'd Be Best Knockout Of My Career, Knockout Of The Year

Agreed. That was uncalled for. If it was the other way around Caleb would've definitely caught alot of heat. Maybe people wanting to cancel him (and rightfully so).
I like both Dirrell brothers but lost respect for Anthony after that comment.

Always liked Andre...what a waste of talent such a gifted boxer

his preformance against Froch was sensational ...he dominated Froch and got robbed on the scorecards,made froch look like an amateur

What is the reason for the white guilt? Please enlighten us old wise one.[/QUOTE

The reason for the white guilt is of course due to terrible things during slavery in America’s wicked past. Most folks should not harbor any guilt today for what happened a few generations ago. I sure the heck don’t. So I guess it’s still a green light for black boys referring to Caucasian men as “white boys”. It’s the same as if Caucasian’s referred to black folks as “n****s. They’re both degrading terms imo. It’s like calling a ***ish male “a *** Boy”.

It's not degrading for white people because crackers have never been degraded for their skin tone or race lol

Whoopty fuckin do! It's an old man saying that shit? Had Dirrell been several years younger, he would have broken his fuckin foot off in Plant's ass man and he knows it. Dirrell was handpicked by the PBC to give Fox sports some red meat after his loss to Canelo Alvarez. Al Haymon wants to rebuild and rebrand his profile with white folks that's all by setting him up with some very easy opponents.

We get it, racism is acceptable in that direction. You don't have to reiterate it

All things being equal, what you say would make sense. However, the past helped shape the world we currently occupy. Calling a Black man "boy" has historical context and precedent and it's demeaning and offensive. White boy has no historical context nor equivalent to the other and can't be deemed as such. You're speaking idealistically and from a place of privilege because you were on the other side of the dynamic.

I would say what I always say, facts and history is not about opinions and feelings, it's about truth and reconciliation. However, people avoid the truth for the sake of comfort and we never get to the place of reconciliation through confrontation of past atrocities with current day ramifications. Be well.

It's derogatory language based on race, so, yes, it's still racism any way you slice it

That's not how racism works.

But the reverse racism brigade would say otherwise lol.

Shot has been? I know saying that helps you sleep at night. The man is a dog and has been KOd once in his career. Plant literally took one of the top boxers in the sport to the 11th round. I swear, some of you need to keep to the Minecraft forums where it better suits your psyche.

What does plant taking Canelo to the 11th and getting stopped have to do with my comment? Reading comprehension not your strongest suit I see. Well, let me try to state my point in a different way…. Ummmm plant is a pillow fist that will not knock anyone in their prime out that is ranked top 10. Get it?

[Robi13]

Why not Caleb vs Benavidez? Could be interesting.

This is the only fight I’d like to see plant in.. if it’s not David, phick him enough with the bs already

Actually, that's exactly how it works according to the consensus of Black America, so it must be true

Ooo Robi Robi Robi. Instead of bloviating (I know this is a big word for you) endlessly, move along and troll someone else. You might be best served to actually research boxing prior to opening your pie hole. Some of the very best boxers in the history of the sport had low KO percentages. But you wouldn’t know that since boxing is fairly new to you.

Welcome to the sport.
