Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara Takes Nickname of "The American Dream"

what a joke

fixed it for you

lol Bro, if you can't recognize that many, even most, of history's greatest boxers were/are black, then you're taking political correctness to a delusional extreme. You've been brainwashed to intentionally ignore the obvious in order to further an agenda. I'm a white Cuban, but I won't hesitate for a moment to acknowledge reality. I have no problem accepting that black human beings have great historical success in this sport. By the same token, I'd take issue with someone that wants to tout racial superiority, because that would indeed take on a racist tone.

Lara's just trying to market himself better. I'm not going to blame him for that. Unfortunately, there is already an up-and-coming heavyweight named Trevor 'the American Dream' Bryan.

Lara's Cuban, he's not black.

Lara just followed me on Twitter, dudes awesome.

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

he is the American dream and he will live that dream when he has all the belts!!

He will be the man at 154, Lara beats Canelo, who will struggle to win against Angulo.

Lara vs Mayweather is one of the best fights that can be made today.

And I'm not one of those knuckleheads that keep picking random foes for Mayweather to fight. This would really be good.

His domination of Trout is really hurting his chances of securing a big fight

no kidding brother, but what I'm saying is who the hell cares what color they are? yes its obvious the goat himself sugar ray was a black man, but for me i dont really care or think it matters what color fighter is. maybe im dumb. nobody is denying what people done in this sport and you are making me look suspect here. look at my reply right before that

pride is ok, but with power it rubs off as you're insinuating a superior/dominant race exists, so fuck that.

if you truly believe in a superior race, then you're nothing more then a racist bigot who's among the lowest scum of the earth. cong****, people like you are why we'll never have world peace.

please never get me twisted with a racist, im not furthering any agenda. im unbiased and if i rubbed you the wrong way, my apologies.

I like it. Unfortunately if Lara had stayed in Cuba he would've end up broke, and forgotten like many great past amateurs. Good for him.
