Boxing fans and prejudice
So, I'm very convinced that Wladimir would beat Frazier. Suddenly, people label me a Klitschko fan... Uhm... No? I'm just trying to be realistic. Lewis would KO Wlad, Holyfield would KO Wlad, I'm not even a fan of Wlad, I was disgusted by the way he defeated Povetkin (although I still count it as a good win). I just can't imagine a guy as small as Frazier, who was weak against bigger hardhitting opponents, to dominate a guy bigger and more skilled than Foreman even if Foreman had more power.
I point out that Pacquiao got a better resume than Floyd and people immediately label me a Pac fanboy, WTF, I believe that Floyd would win by splitdecision if the two of them fought. Again, I'm trying to be fair, Floyd just doesn't have wins against Bradley and Barrera.
I point out that the oldschool fighters aren't as good as many modern fighters, due to them losing to journeymen or maybe only having 1 notable win or just having all-around bad resumes like Quarry. Suddenly, people think "you haven't studied boxing history properly!!1!", maan, stop whining, I just appreciate quality, Lewis wouldn't be as great if he ran around losing to journeyman and had 1 single good victory... I still rate Ali and Foreman highly.
I'm a black guy and some of my favourite boxers today are Froch, Kessler, Calzaghe, Abraham, Ward (he's half white), Martinez, etc... Yet I have been accused of being racist towards both white boxers and black boxers, I mean, WTF, why can't people just stop giving a **** about race? When I see Froch beating Taylor, I don't think "aww, that white prick is beating my brother!", I see a good boxer beating a less good boxer, when I speak highly of Foreman I don't think "man, it feels good that a black man did so well!", I just liked his way of boxing.
Boxing fans are seriously ******ed and you can't have an opinion without being deemed ******, Mayweather fanboy, Pacquiao fanboy, Klitschko fanboy, racist, etc.
I'm getting sick and tired of it!!
