Lets be honest.. Would floyd receive the same hate if he was white?

[MastaBlasta]

Great black sport men like LeBron, NFL stars, woods are loved.

For some reason Floyd isn't...

Leonard, hagler, holyfield, Robinson were loved.

Fore some reason Floyd isn't.

Maybe Floyd is a complete garbage human being after all?huh

No opinion on the question, but you should read books by most of those guys you named. They received lots of racial hate all along the way.

[travestyny]

He'd recieve more hate if he was white. I think at this point people have awknowledged that african americans are the most racist people on the planet atm.

People have acknowledged...?

Meaning you've decided to speak for everyone. GTFOH with this bullshlt.

McGregor has gotten away with saying plenty of racist ****... And that's why he got humiliated so badly by Khabib and his boys, to teach him a lesson that he can't just get away with saying racist/xenophobic **** and not expect clapback.

It has less to do with race and more to do with stardom. The likes of Mayweather and McGregor can get away with saying racist **** because they're huge stars.

MMA is not boxing. But If we compare how white athletes have been punished in other sports for racial remarks you’ll see that there is a double standard.

Floyd is a bonified atg of our great sport, Def not a coward like some are saying.

But later in his career floyd always needed an advantage, he didn't fight Canelo without a catch-weight, he started to seem eager to fight PAC once he was stopped by marquez.

How he's acting lately with the Connor and Japan midget boxing shows that kinda cherry picking mentality.

You can't have it both ways, conning people into fraud fights, going soft touch lately then being a respected gladiator.

you forgot the Maidana gloves and everyone he fought was either over the hill or too green. Always chose ring size and all advantages he could get, including his referee friends. F Floyd. Done more damage to the sport than the whole mafia put together.

This BS that you have to be "WHITE TO BE A SUPERSTAR" in America is LAUGHABLE! Can somebody Prove this BS because I don't see it, even through out History. Are their some Ignorant Bigot Fans and Media people who comes off as envious of these athletes because they make Millions doing something they love? Of Course, those Losers will always exist but those people also can't stop watching either, those are the people who ordered every Mayweather fight hoping to see somebody finally humble him

With that being said, Mayweather wouldn't be as big of a Superstar as he became in a sport that is not even that popular in the US as a whole if he wasn't who is and he didn't have the ups and downs outside of the ring including Domestic Abuse issues which for some ODD REASON made him a bigger star and just drove up his PPV Buys Same with Mike Tyson, after getting out of Jail he was bigger than ever as far as popularity. "Pretty Boy" Floyd tried to do the Ray Leonard Role Model thing and if he would've stuck to that his career would've been like Winky Wright and other excellent boxers who just never became Superstars that "Money" Mayweather became

Mayweather clearly has more FANS than he does HATERS, his HATERS are just the loudest particularly on the Internet because it is SAFE for them to post their HATE

Had Floyd not retired after the Hatton fight because he had accomplished everything, cancelling the Mayweather/ODLH II fight, and waiting for Cotto and Manny to start showing weakness... I was a big fan of Floyd but it was his return that rubbed me the wrong way. Pulling Marquez up from 2 weight classes to show how he was better than Manny (only to wait another six years) plus the catchweights and everything. Floyd may be TBE as far as record goes, but Oscar gets more respect (as a boxer) IMO just because he fought whoever, whenever and didn't care about keeping the 0.

Pretty much my knock on floyd too. He wasnt a killer like people claimed. I respect his skills but especially later in his career he became a con man.

I dislike floyd because I grew up when floyd was a big name. People who claim Hopkins or whomever were cons too is probably right. I just didnt grow up when them so they arent as relevant to me.

And these **** shows he keeps putting on. We all knew he was gonna beat McGregor. We all knew he was gonna best the Japanese kid.

Take any 122lber, the best one you can find, a world champion and have then fight someone at 147. Even a pro boxer would lose so what made people think a kid with no pro boxing experience, massive height, weight, and reach disadvantage would stand a chance?

And now Canelo got Floyd's blue print and its still disgusting.

[THC]

to me it is not about color, it is about class, which he has not.

Yeah, you on it.

[Marchegiano]

if you were not a dumb PC robot/parrot puking out propaganda and read some history you would find out that the ***s helped the ******s take over Spain. it took the Spaniards 500 years to throw them out and the first thing Queen Isabella did was to tell the ***s convert to Christians or die. many converted to undermine the catholic church as their rabbis told them. the Spanish inquisition was to root out them out

Nah, you're just a well actually crowd dumb****. Your generation is lousy with 'em. Always running that ****sucker while having little to no understanding of the subject and mixing in accusations between saying wrong or just dumb ****.


Firstly, I am too old for this PC culture charge. That's so far off base it's totally silly. Younger people invented that culture and even younger people are here with a backlash to it. I don't have anything to do with PC culture ot its backlash. To me both sides are overly opinionated twinkle-toed tinkerbell butterballs with loud mouths and nothing more. You wanna talk about Flash Gordon or some **** I'm your man. PC culture...I don't know the ins and outs of that conversation, you have me at a disadvantage.

Secondly, if you want to try to prove you know some history someone else doesn't do not respond to obscure lesser known history and figures with mainstream opinions and commonly known figures. Daniel Mendoza, and the invention of the boxing industry? Bah, everyone knows that, let's talk about Queen ****ing Isabella, ******s, and ***s because that's what is not so well known and covered to death. Yeah bubba, you did that....it is...just goddamn dumb.

Finally, stop projecting at people. I know all about what I claimed to know about, Daniel Mendoza. My chip on my shoulder is teaching goofy ass young people who think they already know better some boxing history here on this boxing website. You clearly have some issue with 18th century ***ish relations in europe, the ****** invasion of europe, and how that history is conveyed. They are not actually counter intuitive, but, you chose to present them like they are, why is that? See my first paragraph for your answer.

[Chollo Vista]

that's sad

He's fighting to keep his pension, or not fighting, whichever excuse he is using nowadays

Where's that video at you lying sack of schit

[powershots]

He would be a lil ******* like Justin Bieber. Or a white cherry picker. Im sorry, i stopped being a fan of his boring ass halfway in his career. Im looking forward to new era and fighters
