Broner is garbage I would not be surprised at if Davis crumbles him mentally like Maidana and Porter did

Such a shame that this isn't a serious place because this thread was perfect for a moderator to ban some people.

Davis and Broner shouldnt let emotions get the best of them because one guy fights at 130 and the other guy at 147, one guy is hugely experienced and the other guy is far less experienced. They just need to let it go.

I need to ask as this question to any african americans here on these forums...[ as a white canadian I am curious ] why do you guys speak like this to each other ??? Does it make you feel really tough? Is it for intimidation?? Does it actually work on any of you guys??? That speech is getting old, been hearing this since 90s rapstars felt the need to speak like this...Sorry , I call it out when I hear an idiot like angel garcia speak like this, but amongst each other just sounds like a bunch of little kids. Maybe I am wrong but until blacks stop using this language with each other, it will never go away from the segment of whites who still talk like that. It's like that old saying you have to respect yourself before anyone else does. Happy Passover.

I'm assuming the word being used is the "n" word since I didn't bother reading the article. I can give a dissertation on the word but in short, it's used amongst us as more of a term of endearment more than the original use which was meant to be demeaning. In a sense, Black people have assumed ownership of the word almost exclusively and strangely dictates when and who can use it. I personally do not use the word but most of my friends use it promiscuously. I do agree with the self respect point you made but the history of the word is curiouslycomplex but I would love for it to cease to exist but that's not happening.

I dont have an issue with a black man using the N word. I do have a problem if a non-black person uses it to anyone but his closest friend in a warm manner.

Embarrassing stuff. Sorry to say, this is a verbal minstrel show. What does this have to do with the sport of boxing and why is this a news story?

For what it is worth: Richard Pryor...

After touring Kenya’s national museum, Pryor sat in a hotel lobby and he said a voice in his head told him to look around and tell me what you see. He said, he told the voice, “I see all colors of people doing everything.” And the the voice asked, “Do you see any nigggggas?” And Pryor responded, “No.” And the voice responded saying, “Because they aren’t any.”

Pryor went on to describe that he started crying and said “I was wrong. I ain’t gonna never call another Black Man a nigggga ever again.”

Huge fan of Pryor and a great quote from him too. I miss that guy a lot. A special human being. He left us way too early. My all-time favorite, followed by Eddie Murphy and then Johnny Carson, my second and third favorite comedians of all time..

Nope Broner does not have the mentalitly to hang in a tough fight which is why he is given so many soft touches but in with someone of note he falls apart. For crying out loud Granados beat him up. That was a joke of a decision
