an undefeated, cherry picking Paulie Malinaggi?


just as annoying

lol ok but with more KOs, but do you think that the fans and media would cut him a break with his stand on testing vs Pac?

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.

If Floyd was white, he can't say half of the things he says, or else US of A will be his worst enemy.
Floyd minus the trash talking, villainous acts equals no drawing power, regardless what he can do in the ring, if he even gets a shot at anything.

if Floyd was white, he'd be America's favorite athlete.

So when it comes to the testing issue, you think that everyone would be bashing Pac for not wanting the test?

If Floyd was white he would lose his Slick African Americanness and be mediocre at best.

Never knew that blacks were prosecuted in the US for asking for Drug Testing

If Floyd was white people wouldnt care about him. Theyd say the division was weak, boxings dead and all the good black fighters are too busy playing pg in the NBA or CB in the NFL.

perhaps...i'm not sure


but i am sure that his little racist Ustream rant would have had a bigger uproar


imagine a white guy saying all those things?

if he was white, he would be underrated right now!

If Floyd were white he'd look like a young Corey Haim.
