    lol..which is why he hung out with white women and white men in a time where there was no equality between whites & blacks??

    they may have hated blacks...but they respected Johnson

              so Mayweather is the only insecure fighter?...because he flaunts his wealth?
              I think he is insecure because of the way he tries to deflect the attention off other fighters that would be dangerous fights. Part of the reason is that he feels disrespected but he has to realize if you are going to be the bad guy people aren't going to give you the same respect. If Mayweather beats Pacquaio you can bet your house that a lot of the hate goes away. Sure, there will be some haters saying Pacquaio was a small guy but real boxing fans will give him props. Till he beats Pac or a good welter he won't get the respect. Being the best super featherweight of all time was a decade ago, brah.

                HUGE Mayweather fan?..NAW...i am a fan of the sport before I am a fan of a particular fighter.

                is he one of my favorite active fighters? yes...along with Pacquiao, Chad Dawson, Roy Jones, Shane Mosley, Juan Ma, Cotto, etc etc

                I will never put a fighter above the sport

                  dude..Mayweather cant fight everyone...just like every other fighter cant fight EVERY fighter that challenges them...

                  Pac was called out by Paul Williams, & Shane Mosley

                  is Pac insecure because he doesnt want to fight the dangerous fights?

                  till he beats a good welter?....

                  damn man I remember people saying...."zab judah was too athletic, too fast,too big & too strong" & this was when he was the undisputed WW champ.....

                  then after Mayweather beats him it was...."Zab Gasses out after 4 rounds..."


                  I remember "Hatton was gonna close the gap and smother Mayweather and his body attack & brawling techniques were gonna overwhelm Mayweather".....

                  then after the fight it was..."hatton wasnt comfortable @147lbs"....lol

                    Jack Johnson is overrated.

                    and imo he wasnt hated solely because of his race(although, of course, that was unfairly a big reason why people disliked him). he was also hated because he was a jackass a lot of the time.

                    you guys do know that he wasnt the first ever black boxing champion, right? Unless Im mistaken, the first african american boxing champion was Joe Gans. (who, incidently, was a much more skilled fighter than Jack Johnson).
