Originally posted by about.thousands View PostWhat has always puzzled me about boxing fans is their flat out refusal to admit there is a lot of racism in the sport. This is a sport where we root for fighters based on race, nationality, ethnicity, ect... The fight today is being promoted as Mexico vs Puerto Rico. But for some reason boxing fans thinks it stops outside the ring....
Kovalev and Stevenson is the perfect example of racism and double standards. Kovalev has has numerous instances of racism, including but not limited to calling an opponent a "thoroughbred *******". Then he compared Stevenson to a chimp and people made excuses from "That's the way he was raised" to "He's not from here he didn't know that was offensive". I"m not from Russia and have never lived there but I have enough sense not to go around calling them drunk Ruskies. Comparing black people to monkey's is a no-no worldwide, not just in America. And even it it was only in America, he's been living here long enough to know it's wrong.
At 21 y/o Stevenson committed a horrible crime in which he was convicted, sentenced, and did his time. He's admitted what he did was wrong. He got out of prison and dedicated himself to boxing and hasn't been in trouble in 17 years. I'll give a 21 year old who has been in gangs since he was a teen more leeway than a 32 year old who is still being racist. Yet we still see people calling Stevenson a pimp, criminal and whatever else. He should be looked at as the American/Canadian dream. A man who made bad decisions as a teen and turned his life around. If people can't see the racism in the way the two are treated they're in denial.

You're full of ****. How about you remember some of the things even Mayweather has said?

Oh, wait, it only matters when a white guy says something, right?

Originally posted by AllBoxingAD View PostHe isnt comparing them. He didnt say one is better or worst then the other. He is however bringing up two different points.
He is questioning why people hold Stevenson's past against him given the fact that he has turned his life around over 15 YEARS AGO.
He is also questioning why people are giving Kovalev a free pass with his 'racist' incidents. In 2015, certain things shouldnt be socially acceptable.
If you're a kiddy fiddler who gives a *** if u went to jail & done yer time, you still a scumbag, same for Stevenson. Black's embracing hime because he black. You should be distancing yourself from him because he's trash. Makes me lol when yous hit out with the weak read a book ****. You're own colour are taking u for morons & twisting your minds, they don't respect u.
U think those kids parents forgive Stevenson? Well its OK he did his time & he's black FFS weak sauce for weak minds
