African American fighters in Boxing are becomign overrated...

[Medved]

For real, I been saying this for a while, they all run around for 12 rounds low blowin and head buttin for cheesy wins and cry to the ref every chance. This is why they have no fans and have to travel to Canada and Indian Reservations. Look at the Arce fight last night, The young kid lost but he gained a ton of fans cuz he had balls and hunger to actually go for the win.

African American boxers need to understand this, doesnt matter if you lose, if you make fans happy you will be popular and rich.

But naaa, they run around for 12 rounds lowblowin/holding/headbutting and crying to the ref every 10 seconds.

Andre Direll
Daniel Jacobs
Andre Dawson
Devon Alexander
Timothy Bradley
Andre Berto
Andre Ward
Bernard Hopkins (Original King of Headbutts and dirty tactics)
all guys with tons of talent but NO BALLS. So they gotta cry and moan like little *****es.

Doesn't change that fact that they dominated the sports for YEARS, and still do. Just because it's more of them.

Even MMA fans will tell you most boxers are black, You guys got 2 filipino fighters and you think they are great? Both of them probably are on roids, I wouldn't doubt that Khan is on it too.

I sense a lot of ENVY AND HATE TOWARDS AFRICAN AMERICAN ATHLETICS on this FORUM

is it because they dominated for SO LONG that people are just HAPPY TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO SEE SOMETHING NEW?

I don't know, all of this is just pure IGNORANCE TO ME! It is overrated boxings from ALL OVER THE WORLD and from EVERY RACE that people hype up in their own country but from some reason the African American fighters get the MOST CRITICISM!

Andre Ward is FAR FROM OVERRATED, I think it is just ****** to list him as overrated considering how well he has done in the Super 6, Ward is probably least hyped US GOLD MEDAL WINNER I ever seen. It wasn't until the Super 6 that most people just started taking Notice of Him...so how is he over hyped or overrated?

Over Hype to me is guys with WEAK RESUMES who really haven't fought nobody and holds a title and is being hyped up as "THE NEXT GREAT THING"

EXAMPLE: Saul Alvarez right now is OVER HYPED, David Lemieux was being OVER HYPED, Andre Berto was being OVER HYPED, Devon Alexander was being OVER HYPED, LUCIAN BUTE is probably the biggest HYPE JOB IN BOXING RIGHT NOW! I can admit it, as much as I am a fan of Erislandy Lara, he is being HYPED for his POTENTIAL and what he can POSSIBLY DO, not because of what he has already done as a pro. Abner Mares is getting some HYPE despite the fact that he wasn't impressive against Vic and many thought Vic won

So while people only point out African Americans HYPE JOBS, they are over looking SO MANY OTHERS

Just admit that your a ***in RACIST, you grew up watching African American fighters dominate boxing for so long that you developed a HATE FOR THEM instead of trying to SUGAR COAT it because your too much of a COWARD to be honest on a forum.

by the way SLICK is not a RACE, Willie Pep wasn't African American last time I checked and it is stories about Pep winning rounds with out THROWING A PUNCH, that is how SLICK HE WAS

Slick is simply just a more SUPERIOR ATHLETE using his athleticism and speed to his advantage, thus your Superior Athletic Abilities helps make you extremely hard to hit, SLICK has nothing to do with RACE and not all African Americans are "SLICK" in todays boxing not many of them are, Mayweather is the only one that is TRULY CONSIDERED SLICK

It is some younger AA fighters who are SLICK though: Adrien Broner (who a lot of people already hate hahaha), Henry Lundy (who a lot of people hate also IRONICALLY), Brad Solomon (who somebody listed as Overrated, which is just ****** to me since most people don't even know who he is at the moment )

AA Fighters always been HATED ON though threw out HISTORY, people use to CRY ABOUT Pernell Whitaker style also, wasn't until he retired, that was when people gained MORE RESPECT FOR WHAT HE WAS ABLE TO DO.

Todays boxing fans are just FASCINATED WITH BRAWLERS and they think that is "BOXING" and everybody should FIGHT LIKE THAT! Brawlers fight like that because they don't have the athleticism to do what Boxers are able to do, so they have to stand toe to toe and fight, if they had the speed or Reflex to avoid taking so many punishment, they would use that to their advantage, NOBODY wants to get punched in the face for 10-12 Round...NOBODY!

okay well, you can go watch boners superior athleticism all day and admire it all day too. i will watch guys like ortiz, donaire, and, martinez.

[Forza]

I'm white, and if boxing runs out of slick black african americans i'm not watching it any more. That's when you know boxing is dead. There are great boxers from every race, but black african americans are the most dominant.

I don't have a problem with those styles, because I understand what I am watching and I understand what that fighter is trying to do, compared to IDIOTS LIKE YOURSELF that only want to see two people BRAWL UNTIL SOMEONE GOES DOWN

Ref tells both fighters to "DEFEND YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES", he doesn't say "Don't Defend Yourself At All So The Casual Boxing Fans Can Be Entertained"

Getting punched if the face has nothing to do with HEART, IT IS ***IN ******! Tell you what, find a local boxing GYM and go spar and you got trying your little WARRIOR STYLE BULL**** then comeback and post the results, I guarantee you will not just stand right in front of ANYONE and let them punch you in the face just because it "ENTERTAINS" the people who really don't know **** ABOUT BOXING

I enjoy watching guys like Rigondeaux and Gamboa have their way with these IDIOTS that THINK THEY ARE WARRIORS and TOUGH GUYS and refuse to defense themselves and get out of the way

leading up the fight with Casey and Rigondeaux all people was talking about is "Casey is TOUGH THIS AND TOUGH THAT" but after a body shot that dude was back peddling and running more then SHANE

it is easy to have all these ***IN EXPECTATIONS AND REQUEST when your not the guy getting HIT and your just the FAN hahaha "YOU SHOULD STAND AND FIGHT" ok next time a car is coming at you full speed you shouldn't move, you should just stand their and let the car hit you and prove that your are a WARRIOR LOL

Fans who are complaining about STYLES are the ones that don't know much about boxing and they are upset at the fact that their favorite fight CAN'T DO those things that a BOXER CAN DO

If guys like Khan has the Speed advantage over Maidana or Dirrell has the Speed Advantage over FROCH...WHY IN THE *** SHOULD HE STAND AND FIGHT A STYLE THAT HE IS NOT GOOD AT? TO IMPRESS YOU? GTFOH!!!

what about guys like donaire and martinez? both extremely athletic, but you dont see them running or backpedaling claiming 'its the sweet science' ****. they go out there to fight.

[Nonito Donaire]

****, even ortiz has good feet. he could just hop around an opponent and jump in with a hook or jab every once in a while, but he doesnt. he knows boxing is a fighting sport and he treats it as such.

[Throwed]

******s are overrated in life in general i say bring back slavery

[onechance87]

They dont make them the same
