  • Who cares if he's racist?!?....he's not major enough in the world or in the sport to be held to a BHop type standard....block head is a nobody in the relevant world....his comments can be balanced with a feather.....I'm not surprised he feels a certain way towards certain people....just shocked at his ******ity....why say that in the open?!?....I guess this is one of those "when keeping it real goes wrong" moments

    Like I said, him being racist doesn't matter....he's JUST a professional boxer!!!...his opinion is malnourished...**** him!!

Stop defending him. U look pathetic. "For some reason, within African Americans" seriously? Tell me how that's not bigotry?
      What's bigoted about having a negative experience with a certain group, and liking them less? He said they're not all like that, you're just nitpicking tidbits instead if reading it in its context. He's referring to the people he's had experience with

      • Too many people here are focused on the one word. The whole text and its connotation is really what matters. From reading what a couple people translated it does sound offensive. That said its not worth dwelling on in my opinion. Better to know how someone feels and have it out in the open. I wouldn't defend those words though, they seem to make the intended point no matter where you are from.

          So you completely ignore the fact that he saw a black sparring partner in the gym who got beat by a white guy in sparring be a poor sports man and pulled a gun out on him?

          Can you blame him for thinking the way he does? So I guess its okay. A real unbiased person would be mad at the black people who are acting that way giving foreigners a poor image of black americans. Don't blame Kovalev, and he isn't talking about all black people he was only referring to the ones who came across.

          I doubt the guy is racist.

            Lol, dude...smh. U need to understand the term and what it means. If u can't at least do that much then why are u even trying to have a debate? The fact is, no matter how u choose to look at it, based on norms in the United States what kovalev said is considered bigotry. Many would be insulted with it and they have a right to be. It's not something u can defend honestly. In the end, he's a boxer, so it works for him. I'm not mad at him at all personally. But that doesn't make what he said any less bigoted. Because it is.

                the context was him being asked about an individual fighter who he had a bad experience with, which he broadened out talking about another incident involving a black fighter, then started observing black peoples behavior in 'his experience'

                thats not a logical line of thought from Kovalev in my opinion given the question asked

                  not every russian is bad but i had a negative experience with 5 russians..........I like these "pale skins" less and less each day.

                  thats basically his comments flipped around.

                  "whats bigoted about that"

                  you're right.............perfectly good comments.

                    you exposed yourself................
                    That word is used in Russian like the word "colored" is in English. The literal translation sounds like an insult but it isn't.
