Manny Pac has never faced the African American style of boxing...

I think you need to learn the difference between a Stereotype and "Racism". By the way, not all stereotypes are negative.

you must've never been racially profiled then..

Racism: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

that's exactly what TS was trying to say...

TS was trying to say in an underhanded way: African Americans are superior boxers

Stereotype: something conforming to a fixed or general pattern; especially : a standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment

this is where TS fails... there is no stereotypical African American boxing style.

TS is being racist.... its a ****** and idiotic racism, but nonetheless racism.

Here we go again with this BS; black of white or yellow; we're all human man;

reported as racism lol

You mean a style like these African-Americans?

I don't think anyone was questioning whether or not if any white, or 'non-black' fighters fit that style of fighting, so I'm not sure what you were trying to prove.

Yes, he has. Aruto Gatti

Have you ever watch Gatti and Pac fight? Please explain how are they similar? Pac is a southpaw Gatti was not. Gatti had a poor mans version of the shoulder roll, Pac doesn't, Pac has an in and out style that used quick feet and throwing punches from different weird angles. Gatti never fought similar to that. So again how were they the same? Or you just saying **** without knowing?

Why call it an African American style? Is really a slick boxing style....

My point is referring to it as the "African-American" style of fighting is just plain ******.

no fighter in boxing has the complex style of floyd---no fighter--the only one close to his style is calderon----**** slick boxing talk,,,,floyd is just too methodically sound a fighter for manny---it's funny you bring up tony pep----that was floyd at 130 and he looked damn near invincible against a taller, seasoned fighter, and made pep miss damn near all of his punches, despite having a longer reach---and throwing more punches--which is why floyd would beat paul williams---he has no problems fighting taller fighters, and i don't care if paul is a southpaw---he fights small---he leaves his body open for many shots---ask phillips---floyd would beat paul----

as for manny--floyd is going to use manny's pace to dictate this fight---and make manny miss and pay----en route to a stoppage--whenever manny decides to go all out because he will lose every round...every round----

Oh right cuz P-Will and Tony Pep fought the same style...

No he wasn't.

First of all, boxing is a subjective sport, who's to say the "slick, fast, defensive, counter-punching" style is superior? There have been many great fighters with many different styles and strengths.

There was nothing racist in his post (which I didn't agree with by the way).

Racism would be something like, "All Purple people are born superior to Orange people".

I guess the tens of thousands of comments posted on here saying, "He fought like a true Mexican" were racist as well, lol.
