Comments Thread For: Golovkin Not Happy With WBC's Decision on Canelo's Title

[yankees7448]

If you think those remarks about grass-huts in Africa were
racially insensitive then you must have also felt contempt
for Kazakh Golovkin when he questioned Canelo's heritage
and lectured him on what it means to be Mexican.

First of all I have never promoted the whole "Mexican style" nonsense. I think its ******. Please don't ascribe positions to me that I don't ascribe to. Secondly, while there are general understandings of how African Americans or Mexicans fight I don't care. All I care about is whether or not they are skilled and entertaining. Finally, there is a difference between lumping up boxers according to a perception of a boxing culture and casually insulting the person's culture.

All I do is

What you do every time you imagine me in a thong.

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...

when Golovkin said " anyone from 154-168 ".....

..... he meant, AT 160

... is an excuse-making muppet who should not be taken seriously

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.

You are quoting the post where he was forced to clarify
his original remarks after I called them into question.
It's YOU who is purposely trying to be difficult.

Facts

GGG is a funny dude...Where was his Mexican style last month?!?...Nelo was walking him down and all GGG could do was jab...he dropped the ball big time

It's ironic because Golovkin is the batty boy
but it's his fans who are feeling butthurt.

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.

Brace yourself....

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.
