    I can't see your avatar. You are calling yourself Bad Intentions and this being a boxing site, I am going to assume you are a Taylor fan or use to be. Your namesake has been brutally knocked out twice by two of the Whitest guys walking the planet.

    No there not dominating, but when there good they get under-rated, like kesser,,,,But right now from 160 up, whites are the best, at least title wise, an they did good in the olympics, an there some good prospect that are out there,,,,

    It should be. I think it was pretty specifically applied to a time and weight class. Probably a reaction to Ali's mouth as much as anything. I'm not a fan of basketball, I just don't really understand the game that much, but I can't help but be in awe of the athletic prowess I see demonstrated. Look at how upper middle class American's get all dopey over Tiger Woods. Still kind of funny that Tiger Woods is half Asian and Obama is half white, but they are still "black".

    I agree 100%. That term was only used to generate interest & money in boxing at the time since black Americans were dominating the sport.

    then tell me why.

    its easy to rest on that judgement but are you big enough to back it up?

    you already know i'm not racist. but you're betting that i dont know how to react to it.

    that means you're young and someone has told you what to say...so lets hear it....

    I wish I were young, I'm 42 and I've said my piece. African Americans are not naturally better or whatever bull**** you said.

    Shavers, Virchis, McCall, Lewis, Klitschko and all hit like a ton of bricks. What don't they have in common? Race.
