    what has imir imam done to garner your hate??
    Hate is too strong of a word but I'll humor you. There was a post fight in ring interview where he said some very foolish things. His own corner told him to shut his mouth after. I'll try to find it for you.

      American fighters, as a whole, show very little class. It says a lot about our culture and it is embarrassing.

        so the nedxt question would be, if a similar comment or comments were made but with a fighter you do like, kovalev or GGG for instance, would u hold that same level of dislike for them? this will determine the true answer.

          Give me an example. I don't do "what ifs." GGG doesn't talk **** and kovalev is a man of few words.

            well i cant really answer that question because i dont know what comments amir imam made that ur referring to.

            but for context, lets just say that kovalev said those exact words that amir imam said after winning a fight in the post fight interview. what would you say about kovalev? would u dislike him just like u do amir iman?

              You're also stuck in this world of dualities. Just because I say something about black fighters, you go to the opposite, which is white fighters. Why didn't you ask about any others? I loved maidana, Matthysse, manny. C'mon bro. Dualities. Black and white, ******** and **********, God and the devil...cmon man, up your game or I'm done

                Yeah. He's said some things where I was like "damn, that was kind of mean" or "he might be a little bit of a d1ck" lol

                    Race absolutely not, but nationality does come into play somewhat. Boxing's entire existence is based on nationality. Every fighter comes out with their flags and whatnot. It's only American fighters who tend to shy away from all that and I don't blame them. They know damn well that most Americans don't even care about them anyway, so the flag means nothing to them.

                      I could care less about a fighter's skin color, nation of origin, sexuality, or out of the ring behaviors. I only concern myself with what they do in the ring. I tend to favor the technician over the brawler. Most of the fighters I like tend to be more fundamentally sound. The cerebral fighters.
