Can't punch, no chin, ducked someone etc... Everyone can see what's really going on with those types of fans but if you flat out make the accusation you run the risk of a ban. You don't have to look any further than the tags for this thread at the bottom of the page... Disgusting.


    The bias against non black fighters from your ilk far exceeds whatever you're crying about

      I'm not crying ... I'm not even black so believe me I don't have a dog in this fight. But I call things the way I see them.

        **** Pacquaio is gonna fuck mayweather up, I have no doubts about it.

          still fast.

          reflex and timing might be slower.

          probably why no tko/ko and less kd lately.

          he's still fast but he's not hitting the sweet spot and throwing a half second off.

            i think when fighting floyd pac has to throw every punch with meaning.

            floyd will counter and make him pay a lot. make sure you don't throw meaningless punches?

              IMO one of the biggest factors in this fight will be Manny's footwork. People seem to underestimate how important footwork and positioning is in Boxing. It lays the foundation for so much.. Manny has no equal in this area. Marquez understood this. He knew it was one of Manny's biggest strengths and used an effective (but shady) technique to neutralize it to an extent.. foot stomping.

                I think it's the accuracy that's gone down the most, probably because of Roach's further decline too.

                  the biases against black fighters are usually that they're boring.

                  biases against non-blacks are that they're skill-less.

                  see it all the time.

                  i have the 1st bias but not against blacks but american black boxers.

                  i think it has to do with boxing influence.

                  recent black american boxers idolized ray? see ray vs duran 2 as how it's done?

                  mexicans try to emulate chavez?

                  see it now in philippine prospects. fools with no speed trying to fight like pac.

                  all are generalizations of course.

                    lol, Manny's facebook page still down... Manny slowing down and Floyd seemingly as fast as ever will be the determining factor in this fight... I wish they fought five years ago when Manny was faster then it would be too close to call... now it's painfully obvious... wish I had some real money to bet on Floyd...

                      that's reflex/timing.

                      fraction of a second off.

                      re-size your sig pic man.

                      it takes me 10 minutes to scroll past your sig on my phone. LOL
