Another hype bites the dust

[KingHippo]

You are proof that racists never learn their lesson.

How am I a racist?

[KingHippo]

I didn't see anyone hyping Zlaticanin up.
It sounds like you're the racist or just insecure.
By the way, Zlaticanin is from Montenegro which is more like Southern Europe not Eastern Europe. Some people would say Southeastern Europe. It's not that east though. It's more toward the middle (central).
Go learn some geography you ignorant prick.

I know all about the Balkans my friend, I had a friend who was Albanian.

They still get lumped up in the same category.

I'm reading some denial here...like Ringmagazine or Boxrec didnt have him #1. Go read some Linares-Crola threads...hahaha! like they didnt say Linares 'ducked' him to fight Crolla...ok...but once I again I stay winning owning those fools.

Cuz you're living in the real world. **** em

Zlaticanin was being praised as a monster by some on this forum. I think most of it had to do with his last name. I also thought he was kind of bummy.

This year has been very bad for the hypes. Shabransky, Khytrov, Troyanosky, Zlaticanin. Will the racists ever learn their lesson?

I'm not going to call anyone racist but one thing about many eastern European fighters is that they build up these records against inferior competition on the European circuit. I'm Canadian & we don't exactly have a great circuit outside Quebec but if a fighter really wants to be tested he needs to come to the States & fight all over there. So many gyms & so many journeymen to test themselves against. You look at the amount of fighters in each division & for the most part the majority are from the states except maybe some of the lower divisions. I think the best experience would be gained there. There are so many regions with trialhorses & journeymen to choose from to build your fighter up the proper way. Just my opinion...

Yes, I'm going to call some people racists because some people here hype people based solely based on race. And I'm not even mad at Eastern Europeans, it's perfectly fine to be proud of your fellow countrymen. It's the ethnic orbiters and straight racists that I can't stand.

I have great respect for Slavic fighters. Beterbiev, Kovalev, Golovkin, Usyk, Lomachenko, Lebedev, the Klithskos, all beasts. Just get mad when someone mentions someone like ****ing Advantil Khurditze

These race bait threads made by these 4th graders keep getting better

Don't recall he being hyped but even if he was being hyped by white posters who cares.
Boxing has always been that way. PR back their fighters, Mexicans back their fighters, Blacks theirs so no surprise whites back theirs.

[Madison Boxing]

who was hyping him???

Puerto Rico and Mexico are NATIONS. Whites who back eastern euro fighters usually come from ethnic groups that produce no quality boxers.

King Hippo is right and some people are pleading ignorance here, or feigning it at least but Zlat was being mentioned as better LW than Linares and McD. Some were labeling him the best LW on the planet...after what, one notable win against a badly faded fighter?

I am not bothered enough to go pick out those posts and posters but some of you will know so deal with it however you like.

Also, let's not take away from a literal punch perfect display from Mikey.
