    Nobody ******..... Everyone can notice a race baiting thread a mile away . .. nobody says nothing

    But when someone complains about them..... They get pages of insults

    If Larry being a victim or whining etc..... Call out the race baiters too then!
    Exactly. One thing I've never seen Larry do is come on the boards and call damn good fighters extremely insulting names. I've seen him praise fighters of every color and background and use some of them in his avatar. He doesn't call fighters bums, etc., like I've seen from many posters here. I understand where he is coming from. I respect Larry and that will remain as always.

      I’d say the most highly praised boxers are predominantly black, right? Throughout history.

      Most people’s Top 10 ATG list is littered with black fighters, especially American black fighters.

      The 3 most well known boxers in history from a casual perspective are probably Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Mayweather.

      So I don’t agree.

        A.American fans need to drop Wilder. The fact you guys made up conspiracies to defend his loss to Fury was pathetic

            ya I can see where your coming from right now in this time . but I got Crawford #1 n so do a lot of respectable fighters. Black fighters are always gonna be the greatest in boxing Ali ,sugar Robinson , sugar leanord, haglar, mayweather , my personal favorite fighter is George Foreman. But ya African american fighters are getting downplayed a lot right now but it is what it is ln just don't let **** get you too much .the us is probably the most racist country in the world with the most different ethnicities . its whatever honestly don't need any shade getting thrown my way from any body .

              Loma got clowned when he beat Rigo (even though Rigo pursued that fight)

              GGG got clowned when he beat Brook (even though Brook willingly took the fight)

              Tank getting clowned for beating LSC is fair game then (even though Leo was the one who pursued this fight)

              fair is fair

              are there tons of racist fans in boxing? of course. this sport is tribal and been that way forever. and boxing promoters have used tribalism/racism as tools to even promote fights .. just think about the whole build up of Floyd vs McGregor or anytime a PR boxer faces a Mexican.

              so obviously boxing itself uses racism to create profit so i dont see racism being erased from this sport. its been this way long before we were born

                  So are you saying that there are NO black fighters that are considered great? You should listen to Rip Chudd and stop your whining.

                  Sandy Saddler is not considered great?
                  Marvin Hagler is not considered great?
                  Ray Leonard is not considered great?
                  Jack Johnson is not considered great?
                  Mike Tyson is not considered great?
                  'The greatest' Muhammas Ali is not considered great?

                  2 people fight and, usually, the better man wins.

                  You are going over the edge with this stuff Larry. Waaa! .......Rockin'

                    Big portion of elite black boxers carry a ******/****y persona with them which is what turns off many viewers. Teofimo isn’t liked by majority of Mexican boxing fans because he talks lots of trash but I actually enjoyed Teofimo brash persona.

                    Plus if fighters such as Tank, Crawford, etc. continue to duck the toughest fights but also banter around like they’re the best, it won’t be we’ll received.

                      But u talking about casual black fans who don't follow the sport.

                      All casual fans are r3tards...

                      Example:. Casual Pacquiao fans.

                      I supported Wilder but I'm not a casual and never supported his BS excuses
