Floyd Mayweather: Most Racially Divisive Fighter in Boxing?

[Dick Buffman]

I tell you what. Use a racial slur towards Mayweather while telling Mosley how much you respect him and see what kind of response you get.

I've never used a racial slur against Mayweather so I don't know what you're trying to say here.

You sound pretty paranoid .

I don't judge him out of respect for the dead and because his situation is so tragic.

I could never pretend to understand what went on inside his head to sit here and judge him.

I don't see what this has to do with Mayweather, who is alive and who purposely provokes people through his behavior in the media.

You didn't judge him when he was alive either. And there was plenty to judge. So don't even try that sorry excuse.

I didn't say you did. But many here have yet you're here justifying it. Which is no better than if you had done it yourself.

So this thread is about Valero now? Have at it.

I think I've made myself pretty clear.

I'm out.

You have a VERY naive view of the world...


If Floyd were Mexican he'd be more accepted/loved by Mexicans
If Floyd were Pinoy he'd be more accepted/loved by Pinoys
If Floyd were White he'd be more accepted/loved by Whites

You are underestimating the psychology of human nature....

Yeah but that rolls back to what I said. That is pre-existing "racism" and i still don't think Floyd makes people extra racist. This place is full of people with different ethnic backgrounds. I also noticed an unwritten rule that for about at least 80% of the members here, they will automatically gravitate around the fighters who they more closely relate to, whether it be an ethnic or geographical reason. That can be considered human nature, but I do not think that falls within the definition of actual racism. If that is the case, most here are guilty as charged.

Floyd used to be my favorite fighter. I started disliking him a few years ago because he became too diva. It had nothing to do with what he said and everything to do with what he refused to do. In my eyes I want a fighter to represent being a champion. Many have fell from grace with me over time that I used to like. Pavlik is another example of someone i used to like, worked hard and took risks to get to the top, only to flounder it.

Froch has a poor attitude yes, but I cannot dislike him for that. He fights the best and takes chances. Pascal is another one. Bradley is another one. Maidana is another one. Marquez is another one. Cotto is another one. Pacquiao is another one.

Those guys step up. That is why i like them. Floyd is facing a tough assed fight Saturday, and that is why he has made a huge stride in earning back my respect.
