The responses in this thread only prove Dontae's point about the double standards in boxing and why 'coincidental list' type attitudes exist in the first place.
What do you think of Dontaesboxingnation?

As bad and as cringe worthy as Ellie Secback is with certain fighters. It is no where near as cringe worthy as Ben Thompson is with Floyd. His interviews are just unwatchable with Floyd its truly embarrassing. It makes you feel embarrassed for yourself that you watched it.They all are biased in some way although I like the british ones from Secondsout and IFL TV more than Dontae's BN and Elie Seckbach.
ES is the worst interviewer of all times. He's just ****riding whichever top fighter will give him some time of day. Right now it's Floyd. Dude is even posting pictures sticking the finger out like Floyd with a TMT cap on, it's so cringey.

And then he's like "he sucks or he's so bad" when it comes to certain fighters.
The other day he tried to tell Thurman that Brook was fighting his leftovers, and thurman looked at him like "wtf are you talking about", same with Bradley who just corrected him straight up and told him Chaves was a tough guy.Comment

I don't discriminate against any styles. Styles work because of the different physical and mental attributes brought into them. Every style can be used effectively. They can also all be entertaining in their own way(not clinching though it is effective) and to be honest, most great fighters are not so easily defined as they could adjust their style or gameplan to combat something their style isn't as fit to handle.Yeah I would say Boxing and the people who cover it are not consistent at all. They're all pushing a ***ing agenda, that agenda works on Casuals who just started watching boxing during this Mayweather/Pacquiao ERA but it doesn't work on people been watching boxing for a very long time.
You shouldn't do the exact same thing you accuse others of doing which is "Discriminate Against Certain Styles". Just like he calls out the people who are Anti Rigo Style, he himself seems to be Anti Brawler. Yes I favor Skilled Boxers>Brawlers myself but not everybody has that reflexes or athleticism to fight like Mayweather, Rigondeaux and others. Just like not everybody has the Power and Chin like a Chavez Sr to be a toe to toe phone booth brawler. Styles of a boxer formulates based on what he can or can't do.
I don't think people really dislike fighters based on their style. Might not prefer it but the anger and vitriol some guys get on here is something.
The answer is a lot simpler.
I just call a lot of guys bums because its funny to watch hyped guys get knocked down a couple pegs or watch people get excited too easily.Comment

DBN is a great channel, met him live several times.
Dontae is a good dude with a pure heart who tries to level the inequities of boxing. If you don’t see inequities in boxing then his channel is not for you. Matter fact maybe reality is not for you?
He has more journalistic integrity in his blood than a lot of the spin for hire boxing reporters. No one is perfect but Dontae is and has been great for boxing.
It’s amazing to see how many people come to “other,” sites saying he is so biased but never call in to confront it. He has always made his forum open to anyone who challenges his views. Most guys in his position stay behind a access wall.
That says something about these guys. If you can’t debate your points maybe it’s because the sentiments on his bias are hollow? The problem is boxing is so biased the opinions and lies are baked into the infrastructure. If you are just presenting the lies as fact there is something wrong with your reporting.Comment

DBN is racist (while always saying he's anti-racist, as all modern racists say) and it's pretty much the reason you shouldn't listen to him. I don't care on race, I care on boxing.Comment
