      he probably should, and i didnt think broner said anything out of line to be fair, nothing close to what kovalev did (or floyd did a few years ago)

            I would have preferred he called Stevenson a chicken and a disgrace to Quebec boxing.

              yall would cry non stop if this was the other way around, seems like when "certain" fighters step out of line when it comes to race yall are quick to lay down the law, but call a black man a monkey and things are all fine and dandy smh.

                  Broner shouldn't have been suspended and neither should Kovalev.

                  Both made "humorous" comments about opponents which may or may not have been intended as racial slurs. You have to give someone the benifit of the doubt in a situation like that.

                  Calling someone a monkey as an insult, or a joke, is quite common in many countries, eg, here in the UK, and doesn't usually have any link to that person's race at all.

                    Broner shouldn't have been suspended but was. That establishes a precedent and the same thing should be done for all fighters who commit a similar infraction. As such, Kovalev should be suspended.

                    Two wrongs don't it right, but it makes it even.
