Let's be real here...(warning, more racial ****)

[Real King Kong]

Do some black Americans feel like boxing is "their" sport? Be honest here...i don't want the obligatory "look at the top fighters historically". Say so if you feel that way, be real about it. I notice a trend of dismissing non-black fighters as unskilled, and people being seriously bothered by non-black fighters being rated highly...almost as if they feel threatened by it. Let's put it all out on the table, instead of the covert racism and hating. I hate to add to all the race stuff on here...but i feel like some people need to lay it out there and stop all the passive aggressive trolling.

Sounds like you need to come clean with YOUR feelings on the issue.

I see a lot more racism from the white male Donald Trump crowd of fans on social media, just look at youtube comments on Mayweather videos. Non stop racism and hate.

[Lester Tutor]

blah blah. yeah it's always the "black americans" and always "racial" it can NEVER be the other way around.

the irony of the theory.

Most of the best fighters have been black all along. The worst fighters have been white. (How many white fighters would you rank in the top 10 all time in any weight class? Very few.)

I don't think anyone has a problem with "non-black" fighters being ranked highly -- but you gotta question any white guy getting ranked highly unless he's proven it.

This is also true!

This is the exact bs I'm talking about lol. Clowns going out of their way to make alts to troll with. The racism you're talking about is hardly covert...those ignorant ****s aren't afraid to let people know where they stand.

People relate to those who look like them. Boxing is a sport where you don't root for team colors so you root for your color. The same can be said for other individual sports. Maria Sharapova got more endorsements than Serena Williams not because she was the better player. But the sponsors used her to sell their products to people who look like her. Tiger Woods made it clear from day one that he didn't identify as Black. He wanted to make sure he could be used to sell products to people who didn't look like him. If he identified as Black, Phil Mickelson would've been the highest paid player on the tour.

Lol...white people being racist toward black people is pretty well the definition of racism in america, so I'm not sure what you're getting at. I'm just giving people the opportunity to say what they really feel, instead of all the implied ridiculous trolling.

Lets actually be real here for a second...historically (20th Century onwards) boxing has been an AMERICAN sport and AMERICAS best athletes have been primarily BLACK (due to selective breeding for powerful/strong attributes amongst the black population in America ironically thanks to the slave trade). This doesn't speak for the rest of the world.

There's been some all time great White fighters throughout history and if Black Americans actually have some kind of superiority complex because they dominate American sports, then that's ****ing hilarious.
