Are African Americans not allowed to be great?

[OnlytheTruth]

This forum doesn't exactly advertise the race of an individual so you can never know unless someone makes it obvious.
I'm White and British, most of my sporting heroes are black.

How many sporting GOATs are black?
Mohammed Ali.
Michael Jordan.
Thierry Henry.
Mo Farah.
Usain Bolt.

There is a long list of black sporting greats to follow on from that. If I criticise one of them, deal with it.

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 .

lol
This is why guys like Larry do what they do.
The falsely build up these guys, and when either their cherrypicking and/or performances get them flack, they lash out with their race card, because the other option would be to take a good look at who they support and that would bring a downright suicide-inducing level of despair.


Theyre getting downplayed cause they are the biggest cherrypickers, have the worst resumes, and have the most undeserved hype.


Black fighters have a couple top 10 ranked in like 4, 5 of 17 divisions total and are the top divisional fighter in 2.

Its time to stop spreading this misinformation, no matter how much it shatters your personal fantasy.

Boxing has gotten better and more people have joined.
You don't get to hold the crown anymore by beating up the irish, the ***ish, and the italians.
Those fighters literally don't exist anymore. I wonder why. And very little of the ones who built up their legacies on them remain.

Inability to hang. Pretty much.

Put the race card away man...

Who’s the most celebrated boxer in history? Muhammad Ali. African American.

Eastern Euro fighters are constantly discredited or shyt on here. Meanwhile, black posters here who are PBC/Floyd fans give zero credit to any black fighter who isn’t signed with PBC. Look how they treat Crawford and AJ. They suddenly become fans of any fighter who beats a white fighter.

When posters apply equal standards to Eastern European boxers as black boxers, you equate that to them being sh-tted on.

I don’t understand exactly how that works.

If for example you criticize Floyd’s win over jmm because he “brought him up” then how is it sh-tting on an Eastern European if you say the same about Loma over Rigo and ggg over Brook?

If Black boxers get criticized for not fighting guys and having a weak resume, how is it sh-tting on Eastern Europeans when pointing these things out about their resumes?

In short, how is it unfair to take everything guys like you have posted about Floyd, Roy, Ward, bhop over the years and apply it to Eastern European boxers now?

You don't get to hold the crown anymore by beating up the irish, the ***ish, and the italians.

That is because boxing has generally been dominated by those that overwhelmingly occupy the ******s. The irish, the ***ish, and the italians all worked their ways out of the ****** and no longer are at the top of boxing. Economics play a big part in boxing as to a certain race dominating the sport. ........Rockin'

Larry you gotta stop this whining bro. Stop giving these clowns attention and just live your life. Nothing these fools can do on the internet can effect what you have going on. Ignore the ignorance and discuss boxing with those that actually still like to talk boxing. If you want to celebrate black boxers do so and don't worry about the hate from dudes on a forum cause those boxers will still shine if they are taking care of business

Well said....

And close thread.

Any fighter regardless of color
Or ethnicity can be great, and that’s what makes boxing great!

Crawford is as great as USYK who’s as great as Roman Gonzalez who is as great as Casimero.

Black, Ukraine, Nicaragua, Phillipines etc.

I’m nationalistic and regional just like most people but I love boxing and those fighters that make this sport great.
