Floyd Mayweather: Most Racially Divisive Fighter in Boxing?

[Dick Buffman]

How is it a double standard and how does he open himself to racial insults?

His behavior.

You don't judge Valero for his personal life but you judge Floyd for his? That right there is the real double standard.

Valero is dead. And people still judge him and disrespect him post mortem.

If he was alive, I'm pretty sure you would all pile up on him even worse.

How is it a double standard? Valero is in the ground. I'm paying respect to the man and the tragedy of his situation.

I would do the same if something like that happened to Floyd.

This isn't about Valero. Its about Floyds conduct dictating how he is perceived and judged.

Like I said, why isn't Mosley attacked?

He's black.

Whats your excuse now?

Nice diversionary tactic but this topic has nothing to do with how Mosley's treated. But I'll tell you this. If Mosley was a drunk drug addict and murdered his wife you would be one of the first ones here calling for his head. Get my point?

Plato is definitely a racist or well a closet racist kinda like my old science teacher anyway I can detect them from a mile off....

He attempts to justify Valeros psychotic and voilent behavior but slanders Floyd and Cos bad behavior but wait it gets better.....

He then attempts to show us he is "not a racist" by saying look at Shane Mosley people like him. he isn't a bad guy hes well behaved he doesn't act out of context.

So basically what hes saying is "You better be on your best behavior ****** if you want equal treatment."


In conclusion this bigot has a problem with African Americans behaving badly
but is clearly more tolerable of a Latino behaving badly....

one thing i think is clear is that race shouldn't play any part in whether you like or dislike floyd and in some cases it has.

besides floyd gives people on this forum enough ammunition with his words and conduct to the point you shouldn't have to even take to it a racial level.

But you don't and that's the whole point. If you judged everybody the same way you would be consistent and your racist views wouldn't as obvious as they are now.

It has everything to do with Mosley. Him and Floyd are both black, yet everyone respects Mosley and everyone despises Floyd.

Gee, I wonder why that is?

Could it be the way they conduct themselves towards others?

This is elementary stuff.

I never justified Valero's behavior.

Shane is a gentleman. I respect that. It has nothing to do with race. I thought Kelly Pavlik was a punk too.

Now what?

It shouldn't but does, kinda like people shouldn't cheat on their spouses but they do... You're asking people to against human nature its NOT gunna happen mate

His behavior.

What in his behavior give people the right to call him a monkey, the "N" word, put his face on a KFC box. These are racially insulting to black people on a whole not just Mayweather. Call him a loud mouth, a jerk, a spendthrift, a fool because of his behavior but don't racially insult him or blacks on a whole. Thats not a good reason to.

When he was alive and beating on his wife people judged him for the act of beating on his wife. They didn't racially insult him or his race. That's the racial double standard we are talking about here.

Now what?

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 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.
