I have seen Peter say **** that had Clifton Mitchell biting his tongue more than once (almost visually at times lol) & I think its always been David Haye related, but of an unnecessary racial angle.
    I've seen the vid you're talking about, its blown out of proportion. John Fury said Haye is a disgrace to his people. What he implied was either his British roots or the fact Haye is black. If it was being black then it was a compliment to other black fighters who for decades have showed up & performed, Johnson, Robinson, Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Ali, Tyson, Lewis etc. There's nothing racist unless it's nit picking.
    Fury's talk about people as in German's, Irish, British, travellers etc

      Context matters. If Floyd had been talking about the "Wizard of Oz", prior to his comments, you might be on to something. But trying to spin this from racist to double standards is pretty sad.

        Agreed. that's why I said I would rethink my position. Perhaps I was mistaken.

                      his team is annoying. I'm not sure if he was trying to be racist tho, just sounded like a weird round about way of making some kind of yellow brick road reference...there are more obvious ways to be racist unless he enjoys playing riddles and being enigmous.
