Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: If I Wasn't Black - I'd Get More U.S. Media Respect

[SugarRaRobinson]

That defense only works for GGG. The brightest thing on GGG's resume is on how many boxers have avoided him. If you look closer at it, it's shit. The first thing you hear when you critique Golovkin's resume is how avoided he is. I always rejected this flat out. GGG was the most overrated fighter in boxing. Now, he's becoming close to irrelevant.

Unearned hype never works. Didn't work for GGG, won't work for Wilder. They are both limited B fighters. Nothing wrong with that.

I'll say the jury's still out on Wilder. Until contenders r willing to come clean and mix it up with him we'll never know.

But with boxing it's only a matter of time. If your one of the top guys u can't avoid the other top guys forever as sanctioning bodies, fans etc
start to put so much pressure on u that u either have to face the other top guys or retire.

Different context but
Gary Russell
O'Hara Davies
Anthony Joshua
Daniel jacobs
I think they get overly praised by black fans but the great white hopes get overly praised. The media

Thank you. I actually use the "great hope" thing as a positive marker. So, with that, let's see.

The next Great Black American Hopes:

1. Gervonta Davis
2. Errol Spence Jr
3. Terence Crawford

That's all I got. Feel free to add.

Who are the next Great White American Hopes? I don't know any. Please list some potential white American greats.

There aren't any, that's why a lot of white people are now rooting for white fighters from other parts of the world - like Eastern Europe in particular.

Nothing wrong with that but it's the truth.

Why the race card? I can’t stand anyone using race for an excuse. We’re in a free country where race is no longer an issue, it’s on every individual to decide if they want to be waste their time feeling less as a human being!!!

You can argue that GGG is a bum all you want - but he fought the best in his division, Wilder has not.

You can also argue AJ is a bum because he hasn't fought all the top contenders yet, but he is seen as THE MAN in his divison, while Wilder is not.

Every example you provide can be countered with another example.

POINT IN BOLD: Just no, I'm done, you have the reading comprehension skills of a child, there is just no getting through to you. It isn't Wilder's fault he isn't popular and that he has only fought bums - Povetkin and Ortiz would have made him more popular but they, through their fault alone, cheated.

Wilder is unpopular because he has fought only bums: FACT
It is Wilder's fault he has only fought bums: FALSE

I wouldn't argue that because Wilders whole contention was that Black U.S. fighters don't get the same treatment as other fighters in their country.

Secondly, if Wilders lack of popularity falls solely on his lack of quality scalps, then y the *** is Ward suffering from the same problem ? (I'm sure you'll find a convenient excuse for him too)

Stop being a "gate keeper" of good old fashion American racism, and start being apart of the solutions !

This might be one of the most delusional post I've ever read.

TELL THAT BS TO THE PARENTS OF 12 year old Tamir Rice WHO WAS SHOT DOWN BY WHITE COPS WHILE PLAYING AT HIS LOCAL PLAYGROUND

I actually agree with everything. All three fighters are certainly not bums, but they are not special. No special effects or attitude in the ring. I call this the "Era of Averages."

*** just being delusional, this Kind of post is actually DANGEROUS !

Imagine if I just got to this country from Haiti, and I read this BS and believed it. I'd probably get myself Killed with the first interaction I have with cops .
