Don't want to be racist..

But a lot of black fighters are overrated and overhyped IMO based on their colour.

They are either the next Mike Tyson or next Floyd Mayweather if they are A) Athletic sluggers or B) Quite good boxers.

Kirkland and Jacobs are just two recent examples.

I agree adrian broner another example berto your next!!

I will say that I've never been high on Kirkland. He's far too crude to be an elite level fighter.

[sicko]

some blacks are good some are bad some latinos are good some latinos are bad some whites are good some whites are bad etc. it depends on the individual not his race

THREAD should have been closed after this comment because that is the truth

I don't remember anyone hyping up Jacobs, he was just considered a young up and coming fight, one lose don't change that, Jacobs and Kirkland can easily bounce back and go on to have great careers

I don't know why fans think for some ****** reason that just because you suffer one loss...YOUR CAREER IS OVER! That is FAR from the truth!

Stop trying to put everything on BLACK FIGHTERS though, because Kirkland and Jacobs neither of them are all that big in the US and neither have been hyped up that much, at least not as much as other prospects

Kirkland is a SLUGGER WITH POWER, those guys always get a little more attention and a little more HYPE...REGARDLESS OF RACE!

i dont agree with the thread starter, but i will play devils advocate

adrien broner, markus johnson, chad dawson, devon alexander, both peterson brothers

all hyped to the moon, not as good as hyped

[Sparked_1985]

I just think Kirkland is a bad example.

We need more of him.

[sicko]

I agree adrian broner another example berto your next!!

OK but who in the hell is HYPING THOSE FIGHTERS?

Berto gets more HATE then he does hype, and Broner is in a division nobody gives a **** about


so I am still trying to figure out how would those guys be considered "OVER-HYPED"

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

Its quite obvious that a lot of posters have issues with color! Particularly black!

Oh well!

[-KPB-]

Other than HBO over paying those black fighters....who really gives a fcuk about them....when have you ever seen anyone sport a Broner or Berto sig or avatar...........

If youy had talked abot Devon and Chad Dawson...then I agree with you...those two were perhaps overrated.....

I know...it makes me feel good. A little alcohol and that train is always is always on time!

Hyped by who? Chad Dawson is far from HYPED though, after beating Glen Johnson and Adamek, I don't see how Dawson would still be considered "Over-Hyped" because he lost to Pascal? COME ON!

the rest of those fighters I don't ever see anyone talking about those fighters much if AT ALL, JEFF LACY is what OVER-HYPED was and neither of those guys have ever been hyped up like Lacy
