Doug Fischer: "A LOT LESS African-American WARRIORS today than 25 years ago"

[The Gambler1981]

mayweather has ducked the best competition of his era and so did roy jones after the james toney fight so why would they be unlucky?

Name me the great fightes they ducked, truly greats.

Like Hearns, Hagler, Duran.

[Mr. Philadel]

Dougie is on point...and that "Halfrican" line was funny, first time I heard that one .....but lets give credit where credit is due....Mosley, Williams and Kirkland come to give it and dont mind takin a few to get the job done....props to those bros!!

A guy that had to cheat to win is a warrior??

Isn't that what you guys say about other boxers???

[FeFist]

I'm happy that more black fighters are behaving like business men instead of ''warriors''.

At the end of the day, pawns die on the battlefields, Kings live in a palace. Boxing for the athlete involved is a business, they should value their future over putting on a show for spectators.

[Tobi.G]

Yup,Mosley & Bradley & Alexander & Ward & the Punisher may be the last 1's left & Mosley is on his way out to boot!!

Ward? Are you kidding me? Thats not a tough hard fighter at all!! Hes more like these "i dont wanna get hit at all" soft punching boxers who make boring fights. The south-americans definately have the toughest and roughest fighters these days. The black people in the US seem to soft up a bit.

[SuckaPunch]

What does race matter? Why cant we have just have tough fighters of all races period?

It doesn't. Doug was simply answering this question from a fan.

Coming from a community that says their gender is worthless and the revelation of great black fighters being punchy have taken the heart away from black fighters of this era.

The last true decade for black fighters, when they were blood and guts warriors, was the late 70's and 80's, with residues of this greatness popping up throughout the 90's.

The last great year for Black fighters was 2000, and from there on out, this younger generation has crept in, and it has gone down hill ever since.

Back in the day, Mexican fighters were considered tough, but black fighters were considered GREAT. Not anymore.

What do you think? -- Dre L.

ah so ducks are ok as long as the guy they are ducking isnt one of the greatest ighters ever is it? A duck is a duck.



mayweather ducked a true all time great in pacquiao and did so despite all the money involved.A true coward.

[victorythagr8]

Name me the great fightes they ducked, truly greats.

Like Hearns, Hagler, Duran.

if pac agree to drug test then we can add pacquaio.....but i give it 2 years a max before floyd officially ducked pacquaio.


Roy Jones....well he did ducked Lewis after he beat ruiz.

It's never racist or anything to say something negative about black boxers, but God forbid the opposite.

Dougie is not "on point". He's ignorant. Different fighters have different styles and it has nothing to do with race. How can you in one sentence say there are no African American "warriors" and then mention Paul Williams and James Kirkland? That whole "warrior" **** is ******. Anybody that gets in that ring is taking a risk and some four eyed, buck toothed, ***ot like Dougie Fischer is in no position to say who is a warrior and who isn't. He's also full of contradictions. In one sentence he says there have been no black fighters involved in "fight of the year" fights since Bowe-Holyfield and then names several of them. *** Dougie Fisher. And no fighter "likes" to get hit. That's a ****** concept.
