and there is also a difference between fighting a nobody in a grass hut somewhere in Ghana, and headlining a HBO showcase against a former world champion
rather than admit that fact, you pulled the race card
let's face it, the guy who said this...

You are just being difficult. He says the official decisions didn't go his way. By simple deduction he is stating his opinion about who he thought won.
his original remarks after I called them into question.
It's YOU who is purposely trying to be difficult.

A sentence like "He won the first fight clearly and edged the
second fight" should have been followed by an asterisk, at
the very least.
No man, you stated the above even after he specifically made it clear. He was crystal clear and again you said he should use "I believe" or "IMO". It was clear to anyone reading his quote it was an opinion but you still kept hitting him on it. Check mate.

Black people DO love watermelon and fried chicken...
...but so does nearly every white person you've ever met.
Show me a Chinaman who doesn't like them, and I'll show
you a liar!
Stereotypes are just silly anecdotal attributes colloquially
attached to people of various ethnic backgrounds, but
they are not necessarily true or offensive.
Does his statement about 'grass-huts' qualify as racist or
stereotypical? I'm not sure since there are actually people,
somewhere on the African continent, throwing harpoons
and cooking wildebeest carcass over an open-flame outside
of an actual grass or mud hut.
I assumed his reference to grass-huts in Africa was just
him using the power of exaggeration to emphasize his point.
