She definitely has a thug mentally & is just sorta an ass hole to be blunt. And Im a Michigan cat whos been a fan of her since day 1. That whole crew of Flint mfers, minus Dre & Leon III, have sh^t head vibes doe lets be f#cking real man. Anthony has been a f#ckhead since I seen him throw down his 2nd in the MI golden gloves trophy back in the day. Claressa says ass hole sh^t on the reg. And Leon II is sucker punching mfers.

Like that mfer here said doe wtf you thinking mfers gonna be like when they drinking lead water doe. Flint is r3tard city. And Im again Im a Michigan cat saying this so not biased, but Flint is a f#cked area so less than stellar cats are gonna be the ones coming outta that city.

A couple of points -

1. Don't stereotype her. She doesn't have a criminal record (which is an achievement where she's from), she's an olympian who has a few baddies in her family. She's not a baddie, though. If she thought like a thug, she would have the real fruit of the thug life.

2. Habazin isn't "ladylike," either. They are both fighters dude...not hostesses

I agree about the language and the rough around the edges persona, but that is a product of her upbringing and culture and how she learned to express herself. Consider how Hopkins transformed himself.

With time and exposure, you will see her change in how she expresses herself. Muhammad Ali was one of the most offensive and disrespectful blowhards around, but that was just a persona. His real character was shown by what he did in and out of the ring...not by how he talked and who he associated with (Nation of Islam). Give her the benefit of the doubt. I hope Habazin is just trying to sell the fight and doesn't believe that nonsense. If a foreigner were to come and talk about a two time olympian like that in Canada or Jamaica, their visa would be revoked...:-)

She calls herself a 'gangsta' dude...why is she or anyone else offended when someone else calls her a thug...if you google gangsta, it literally says: a gang member.

"I'm showing there's more to life than being a gangsta and a thug"

That is the descriptive sentence about it.

so if I hang out with 10 KKK guys according to your logic I would not think like them . I would be the opposite

If a white person ever criticizes a black person = huge racist

If a black person is ever legit racist to a white person = well they can't be racist, they don't have privilege...lol what a joke dude.
