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

[Rome-By-Ko]

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.

They did not want to give him credit before the Pac fight so this is false..Again,I don't know if it's cause he black,or short,or just does not fit what peoples overall opinion of what a great fighter should look like..All I know at every turn there where doubters and detractors..I should know,I've followed the dude for some time now..I can easily tell you,the kid was not liked,and people never wanted to give him credit(until they had no choice to)..Again,I don't know if it's cause he's black or not their kinda fighter..All I know is the Pac fight had nothing to do with it,maybe it added to it..It was not the cause tho..

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.

and people like you cant stand that ****

[Mr. Philadel]

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

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

Typical b1tchmade response....you ****ers love to play dumb.....stop ACTING!!...you KNOW exactly what is being said....so miss me with that typical Ali, Tyson and whoever else bs response

You started this thread....now I get it....transparent mother****er....you're one of those weird haters....conniving punk!!

Oh here we go. Most people rank this clown in the top 3 pound-for-pound in the world yet he doesn't get any praise?

The guy gets far too much credit for a mediocre career littered with lacklustre performances and questionable decisions.

and people like you cant stand that ****

Lol at this racist ******.

[HWChampion]

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.

Exactly if anything Cubans are targeted not African American fighters.

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 pac fight has nothing to do with it..Dude was being discredited before the Pac fight..Hell he was being shut down before he fought Alexander..So your point here is moot..

As far as Mayweather,I'd agree sometimes he does not fight the fight you wanna see..So does everyone..Pac Marga's did you want that fight??Pac Mosley(after Mayweather had beat him btw)did anyone want that fight??How about Pac Diaz??Horrible fight..Yet he did not get the same backlash that May got..Is it because he's black,or just less likable cause of his attitude??I don't know..Yet don't try to front like Pac is treated the same as Mayweather..Don't try to act like the dislike and detracting for Bradley just started when he beat Pac..Oh and Bradley is the only fighter to beat Pac and Marquez..At this point they had to give him his just due..

Well put sir, if he genuinely was discredited then he wouldn't be ranked top 3

No one knew who the hell he was before the Pac fight. NSB is not representative of the world. Bradley isn't some infamous hate figure. Enough of the siege mentality nonsense.

[MDPopescu]

I don't understand Mr Diaz...

People truly respect Floyd, B-Hop, Tim, Ward, Rigo, Lara, etc...

Mr Diaz is biased -- he thinks people have something against Tim... They don't; people criticised the judges in the first Manny fight... But not Bradley (per se) as a fighter...

Well...
