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

[Motorcity Cobra]

So does Michael Jordan not identify as black.

Did MJ play an individual sport?

Racism is gonna rear its ugly head because certain people benefit from it. POC ( People Of Color ) don't benefit from it other than to play victim. Which never helps in the long run, so whats exactly the issue? Blacks have been great at sports because of centuries of selective breeding. It's not really our fault, on top of that, its usually because of how much poor people or people love the sport stick to it out of passion and desire.

Many people who aren't black in boxing that are talented get love from their respected race as well as the general public if they are good enough. On top of that, guys can be avg and still get love. Not for nothing tho, black athletes are so vast in abundance that we don't flinch at another one fizzling out of nowhere until they do something immaculate like Odell and a one handed catch or Mike Tyson knocking people out.

Name an average white fighter who got love. Literally every white fighter was one of if not the absolute best of their class when they fought. You NEVER hear about white guys who aren't at the top.

I wouldn't say that most of the best have been black...more like most of the best have been non-white. There has definitely been a lack of top white fighters in the modern era.

I would. Look at the HW division, for example. Who are the top 10 fighters of all time? I might sneak Dempsey in there. All the rest are black.

Top 20, maybe you throw in Marciano, too. But 18 of the other guys are black.

Forgetting weight classes and going P4P, you start seeing somebody like Duran (a non-black, non-white) in the top 5 or so, but again...same story, most of your top 10, top 20 are black.

And the black population in the USA is around 13% or something....

lol. ****** ass thread. I can't imagine urban or inner city life American kids from NYC, Miami, Chicago, LA, etc... showing insecurities about race when they're talking about the NFL, NBA, or MLB.

when it comes to boxing. the most ****** insecurities and theories are WRITTEN on forum boards.

there's enough news about white supremacist followings for Trump in general. It's not a revelation that you're going to see trolls here cheering for him and saying covert subtextual racist things and them acting all smug because the status quo is their comfort zone.

British and European campaigns in soccer, against racism, has done its due, now look at the NFL. people need to understand wtf a status quo means. bunch of dumbasses taking American life for granted.

I'm on record countless of times rooting for the Irish Bomber Joe Smith Jr. Maybe because I'm a PBC fanboy. But in theory if I didn't like "white boxers" then wtf would I entertain myself in cheering that East Coast. It's called being a true American and criticizing the networks that favor a hype job.

No pressure for Lil'G to move up, but Ward, yes, HBO douchebaggery. Same thing with Roman Gonzalez. The kid gets battered as he's pressured to move up, headlines his own card instead of being under Lil'G.

you get the picture. Drake sells because he's ***ish. we get it. other than that, he's not marketable. Cash Money wins in the end, irony.... talking about ****** in Egypt..

[Lester Tutor]

Disagree with this 100%

The reason black fighters are more prevalent is because sports being a way out of poverty is generally something for those of a lower status.

THIS. green k.

The hatred and projection in this post is obviously showing signs of hidden feelings that needed to burst out some day. What you say is false, and actually all races have nationalistic fans, but the most racist one's are obvious and they are us (latinos) and the whites. Black fans can easily counter what you said with the fact that boxing was predominantly a white sport (***ish, italian, irish) for the poor white people and now you are jealous because ever since poor blacks and latinos took over they had more ATG's in a shorter period of time, and latinos jealous because blacks have more ATG's than them. But they shouldn't be jealous because blacks have been boxing for longer than us

This is my take as a neutral fan who is not American, white, or black

I didn't say white...i said non-black, so you aren't really neutral from that perspective. I'm not trying to insult anyone, but I'd just like to see certain posters just come out and say it instead of making 100 ggg hate threads every day.

[All in]

Did MJ play an individual sport?

No just the best individual in his sport. Point being whites have spent billions on air Jordan's and it had nothing to do with the bulls.hes still the highest paid by nike.

Team sports and man vs man combat are 2 very different things. Obviously it more readily divides people according to nationality and race. I'd just like to see some people come out and say it instead of hating on fighters that don't fit their demographic. I'd make the same thread about euros people thinking boxing was their sport, but cmon...who are we kidding. I'd like to see some of these trolls have the balls to come out and say what they feel.

[PAC-BOY]

Exactly!

Green K sir!

ummm you cant green k anyone.

[Mr.Fantastic]

I'll be honest in what I see. People of other races/nationalities are more open to admire black boxers than some black people admiring boxers from other places/races.
