Joel Diaz: "African-American fighters don't get the credit they deserve"

[megadeth]

If his fighter wasn't black he wouldnt be saying this.

Or....OR.....Maybe he has a better perspective on the matter BECAUSE his fighter is black!

[Mr. Philadel]

Black fighters = Boring fighters.....that's the new age math around here....so stop ACTING like JD is wrong.....those fighters rarely get credit from the so called fans.....dudes hold different fighters to different standards....that's cool and all but don't act like the fighters JD mentioned are given the same credit and respect as the Russian cab beaters....get ****ing real!!

I knew the flock would come in here with those counterfeit pennies trying to add 2 cents to this...smh

I remember when Floyd said black basketball players don't get the credit they deserve. Yep, Jordan, Bryant, O' Neal... they never got/get the credit they deserve.

The question is - does Joel Diaz & Mayweather really believe the nonsense they spoke?

Russian fighters are despised in the USA, especially by some people.

Now, just read this & be quiet, child...

The most widely recognized #1 ATG in the history of the sport...Ali. Black. The most feared, baddest man on the planet in his prime...Tyson. Black. The top two current P4P fighters in the sport...black. The biggest money maker in the history of the sport...black.

Come on now, Joel.

In the case of Bradley,I think it's fair to say he's never really gotten the credit he deserves..After his win over Marquez I believe it was something nobody could take from him..You had to give credit where it was deserved..

I also believe this helps Bradley,it's his mind set..Me against the world,nobody believes so I'm going to make them believe..It's a great mind set to be in..I think it's a lil true that people don't really wanna give Bradley his due,is it cause he's black or because he more of a boxer then a brawler etc etc..Who knows..What I do know it's nothing wrong with having this mentality..If I was you I would not read to much into it..It's a motivation tool..

No, people don't wanna give him his credit cause of the Pacquiao fight. Its fkin ******ed, IMO, to say that he doesn't get credit cause he's black.

Good point that will be ignored.

ANother good post. It is definitely uncomfortable to discuss the issue so some will just try and dismiss it or act like the point Diaz is making is impossible.

Here we go with some more generalizing... Just cause people call Floyd, Hopkins and Ward boring it doesn't mean people call black fighters boring.

Is Andre Berto boring? What about Thurman (if you consider him black)? I don't think Bradley is boring either.

The only ones with a boring label around here are Cuban fighters.

Eli Manning is a 2 time superbowl MVP yet people don't wanna give the guy any credit..Mayweather is undefeated and without a doubt should be looked at as the best fighter of this generation..Yet at every turn I hear people taken shots at him or trying to discredit him..Just cause Bradley is ranked in the top 3 P4P does not mean people actually give Tim the respect he deserves..The same with Mayweather(who is undefeated and the cash cow of boxing and has fought every name tbh and beat them easy),the same with Eli Manning(who is the only quarterback to have to rings within the last 10 yrs)..Some guy's just never get the respect they are craving..

Not to mention it's a great motivational tool to always feel your behind the 8 ball..Your not getting what ya believe you should get..I believe this has been Bradley train of thought forever..I think he needs to feel like this..

Joel Diaz said "African American fighters" not NFL. Anyway let's move on to Floyd, you know why people discredit him? Not because of his race no no no sir. It is because Floyd Doesn't fight the best opposition at all times. No one can argue against this because some of opponents have been awful considering Floyd is a tremendously skilled technician. So I can see why Floyd is discredited there.

Well sir I don't know what boxing matches you watch but you will 100% get discredited if you win robberies plain and simple. Whether you are from the slums of India or the Vegas strip doesn't matter regardless you will be discredited for dumb decisions. Saying that though I did give bradley respect for the Marquez win.

So race has f"ck all to do with it and like I said above racial baiting is a terrible thing to do.

The 3 fighters he talking about are top 10 p4p fighters
