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

[Joshua Child]

People say a lot of things about a lot of fighters. Everyone gets criticised nowadays because more people have an outlet to express themselves.

Bingo. You're right on the money.

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

AA fans doesn't give enough credit to non-AA fighters as well so it should just balance out...only 1 side is crying though

yup.

dont you notice every time a talented young rising non black african american fighter is labeled a hype job and a bust but a young rising african american black fighter who hasnt been beaten is given more credibility and benefit of the doubt.

its another shameless double standard. Notice how floyd fans dont speak and use words like double standars anymore ever since floyd's many hypocrisies have become public over time?

To the crybabies,

What kind of credit do you want for your respective races that will help clear some of that sand out of your vaginas?

[dirty fingers]

Just lost a lot of respect for this lazy-eyed mofo.

[Joshua Child]

Not really. Look at all the hate Andre Ward gets and even Mayweather.


Mayweather is easily the most disliked on every boxing site.

I'll tell you why I don't like Andre Ward. His fights suck. Yes, he's very skilled at fighting the way he does, no doubt, but he's boring as hell. He grabs/holds way too much. He smothers all the action. I've been to his fights live and the crowd is just bored out of their mind. Is it fair for him not to get that credit? Not necessarily but it's boxing and a lot of people want action. Plain and simple.

As far as Floyd goes. I think it's mainly a combination of him being the best, his style of fighting, his **** talking (mostly in the past), and the fact that people think he's ducked some guys to keep that 0. To say his race has no bearing wouldn't be 100% true, I just don't think it's the driving factor for the hate he gets. When you're the best people hate you. When you're the best, you're a polarizing figure. Money doesn't care though cause he knows how to play the game to make the $$$.

noticed that many times already...they're the same people who hyped broner to ******ed level and defended stevenson's business like crazy but cried each time golovkin and kovalev get even a little hype.
