    Hearn, a privileged white male, called a black man unarticulated & ******.
    The Eddie remark that I thought was "actually" racist was when he was complaining about not being able to pouch PBC guys (Spence and Charlo I think it was) and he said "They don't care about legacy, they just want to fight once a year so they can buy some gold chains" or some **** like that

      He's not racist, he's just a blabbermouth.

        He didn’t call him ******, but even if he did, Tank is ******. He is clearly as thick as a plank of wood.

        In what way does his race magically come into it when there was literally not a single mention of his race?

        This is what I’m talking about, about why your post totally baffles me.

        You call AJ a racist whilst also parroting his victim mentality rhetoric.

          So your retarded views do spill into your every day life it seems.

          Thanks for inadvertently confirming that since you won’t reply to me like a coward

            Neither Hearn nor AJ are racist. They wouldn't be so devoted to each other if they were.

              How do you know? How many conversations have you had with him? You've only seen him in front of a camera, you don't know anything about the guy.

                  Others really have no clue what they are looking at in a boxing match and are now just as cock-sure that Fury will flatten Usyk in a couple of rounds max.
                  Didn’t you pick AJ by KO?

                  Usyk will be a tough fight for Fury. Fury on points would be my prediction though.

                    Racial tropes.
                    Probably because he can barely put a sentence together.

                    The guy is as dumb as a box of rocks, but let’s just say he’s not, let’s say he’s actually an undercover genius with an IQ of 200, how does calling him an idiot make someone racist? It’s totally non sensical.

                    Racial trope where? He said the guy isn’t a deep thinker. Where is the racial trope there?

                    At no point did he even imply anything to do with any of his analysis was based on his race. Literally not a single bit.

                    On the same token you’re saying AJ is racist? I don’t think these lines of thinking can run parallel which each other mate.

                      No, I was on the fence before the first fight because there were too many unknown factors. But if I'd had to make a pick I would have gone for Usyk on points or late stoppage, which was my prediction for the rematch.
