I challenge you to play a game on XBOX LIVE (pose as a black person) and tell me about some of the messages in your inbox.
I challenge you to go to an African American website and browse down at the random comments. You'll eventually see what I'm talking about.
As far as other African American boxers getting hated on because of their race, it happened to them as well.
Roy Jones was hated on for the majority of his career. Are you even old enough to have watched a PRIME Roy Jones? Roy was hated on almost in the same fashion Floyd gets hated on today.
They said he was a fluke. He was hiding a glass chin. He was a duck. A cherry picker. He was boring. He wasn't a draw. He was a Primadonna. He wasn't a HOF.
Most of the AA fighters that dont get hate are the ones that will "play the game". Humble with a "Yes Sir" vibe. Ex: Sugar Shane Mosley.
Do some research on Jack Johnson. You'll learn a lot about the African American plight in the sport of boxing.
