    This poster said it best.

    Posters like Larry try to act objective but he has for years show avatars of great black figures. That is to be acknowledged.

    Every boxing fan acknowledges SRR to Ali to Floyd. That’s a string of ATG BLACK FIGHTERS as a DEFACTO. No one can change that ever! So where does this “not allowed to be great” even come from? Lol

    This could only translate to that Floyd isn’t around anymore? I’m assuming this has to do with Davis... is Davis supposed to get acknowledgement to be as good as Floyd?

    By the way....

    Mexican Bidness up in dis hoe!!

      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.
      Mexican boxing fans don’t care for Teofimo. You referring to a Hispanic connection? Teofimo is from Honduras. I don’t even think Teofimo could beat Mikey Garcia or worse, Vergil Ortiz because those threats are there. I actually like Teofimo’s boxing more than character. I don’t care about characters in boxing expect for verbatim or inconsistencies from them when they choose soft touches like milking a weight a class and heavy draining doing so

        I'd hope most actual boxers, those with a brain at least, aren't racists. They should know 99% of people can't do what they do, and the 1% that can are from many races and it makes no damn difference.

        Ukraine would have the top per capita representation in elite boxers, is that because they are a physically or mentally superior race, of course not, boxing is popular there, they have great coaching, amateur programs, relatively less competition from other sports etc.

        Its so unfortunate that race is pulled into sport full stop, if you can't admire the skill, heart and dedication and fall back on skin color or where someone happened to be born that just straight up sad.

          Top elite? Explain. Name drop what we see in the pros and back it by who they fought.

            Facts

            The PBC fanboys are trash and probably the worst fans on here, yet they complain more than anybody else

                "Everyone is racist except black people." I thought I'd simplify your post and put it into a bite-size form. It takes away all the fluff and focuses on what you really want to say.

                  How about naming some others. Mike Tyson? Worshipped, Hagler, worshipped, Hearns, worshipped, Holyfield, worshipped, Pernell Whittaker, worshipped, Muhammad Ali, worshipped more than any other. I could go on and on and on.

                  Too quick to whip out that race card young man..
                  Exactly, Ali is renowned world wide as a great that transcends sport.

                  Floyd is a talented guy who’s personality is trash, we all know he resume looks good on paper but he timed a lot of those fights to his favour.

                  The likes of Ali, Hagler didn’t manoeuvre anyone.

                  This is all about tank and Crawford, you can’t be great and expect praise if you won’t fight anyone, it may not be the fighters fault but those fights aren’t being made and don’t look like they are being made anytime soon.

                  Of course you can play the race card to claim otherwise.

                    The fact that ldbc on YT keeps fanning the hate makes people who know boxing not support black fighters. Whenever you see a vid from one of these guys, they either bring up race or fan the hate flames in some way. They don't realize that they are actually doing these black fighters a disservice. Secondly, guys like tank, broner or even the charlos have personalities that don't resonate well with the mainstream. They may cater to a certain group of people, but not everyone. Floyd mayweather used the hate against him to be popular. These other guys can't do the same, or they do a really poor job of it (broner). They don't have the charisma of M.Ali either. It's all about how you connect with the mainstream.

                    Also, please don't tell me you never see guys like ggg and loma getting hated on. GGG gets hated on a lot for his poor decisions, loma gets hated on a lot for his diva attitude. People can't stand kovalev, a woman-beater as well.

                      What's goin on with you boss man ? Something must have happened recently cuz a few weeks ago you were into posting positive threads, uplifting sort of stuff.
                      Something happened or was said somewhere that has shortened your sights. Why don't you focus on the more positive content ? I don't know nothin man. Your content is becoming somewhat puzzling. Taking a break from social media is not a bad thing. I can only take so much myself...
