Floyd always states that if he were white he would be treated as the best boxer in the world. Well my question is "IF" Floyd was white would the fans be asking why isn't 7 days enough to cut off testing or would they ask why Manny is taking such a hard stand against testing. Give your opinion as to why race would or would not make a difference.
Please no flaming; I will respect all opinions but please don't turn the thread into a Floyd/Pac bashing thread.
My opinion is this: Floyd may have a case as long as he is only talking about what he does in the ring, but as soon as you include some of his personal problems add that to a racist rant and you have people hating in you for more than boxing. You have people that don't like you because you have been blessed and you’re still acting very unappreciative at times. So to me in the ring Floyd has a point; if it was based only on in the ring work maybe if he were white he would be acknowledged more. But this is the real world and Floyd outside of the rings is not perfect, so to me with his outside stuff, he gives some people a reason to hate on him. That’s my fav boxer but I call it how I see it. That being said they never promote all the charity he does and homeless feedings he is responsible for.
