    I mean, what is the excuse?

    Drug test, racism, money?

    WHAT???

    How many mother ****in excuses does a man need to DO HIS JOB?

    If he had NO INTENTION of makin this fight, he should have NEVER OPENED his mouth.

    That's all there is to it.

    If he don't like the backlash...he shouldn't talked the trash.

    I'd also argue Tom Brady should belong on that list as well, ahead of Kobe.

    Some people are racist, but I think most people recognize the difference between being a confident guy coming off as arrogant, compared to another one coming off more often than not, as an egomaniac insecure little wanna be gangster.

    My favorite popular figure while growing was Eddie Murphy. Witty, funny, smart with a constant touch of arrogance.

    Now compare Mayweather with Eddie Murphy. It's night and day... Of course Eddie had his critics too but the point is that people could truly relate to him and the color of his skin was irrelevant.

    People simply don't like guys like Mayweather and they wouldn't like him whether he was black, caucasian, indian, arab, asian, native or any other ethnic background.

    That`s not so at all PBF. It is your arrogance and mean spiritedness that make people want to see you get dusted. That and a reluctance to face the best. Which was not the case when you were up and coming. You wanted and fought the best. And your 0 at the end of your record clearly shows that you are an amazing talent. And I like most people, actually feel that you are the one guy with the style and ring savvy to get it done against Pac. It is you who uses racial slurs and talks down to everyone. Not just picking on Floyd, many fighters say things that aren`t cool. It is the arrogance and not fighting the best now that turn people off...

    Plus when you talk ****, you better back ****. Or you lose credibility in this great sport... And if he wants to play the race card, I think it`s fair to say that NO fighter in history is more beloved and idolized than Joe Louis (the Brown Bomber) and yes that includes Rocky Marciano... Is there racism in the world, yes. But I actually think that true boxing fans see past a lot of that when it comes to following good fighters...

    Causation is not correlation. By the way, that's an arbitrary list you just made up. You could have easily listed Ben Rothelsberger.

    Looks like YOU see race more then anyone else... :patsch

    You say its more divided in the black community and there's a reason? Well, could that be because of RACE as well? Black people allow jester-like, cornball antics and total arrogance SLIDE more with them because of their skin color Reg? Two way street.

    A person who actys like a total buffoon and dick in public is a dick regardless of race. But it seems mayne YOU let it slide becuase, well, you know why... :roll:

    And compare that on how they conduct themselves vs. those who you think are hated due to race. There are ALL these easily seen LEGITIMATE reasons WHY some might think they way they do....but all you see is RACE ....wow...consider the irony of this whole thing. :-(

    No ****, racial BIAS does exist. DO you think you are informing anyone with that remark? What others are syaing, is simple...those guys are dicks and often make it easy to root against them. Ride your high horse and go live on that molehill you made into a mountain..

    The six bottom guys are all black and try to claim that because they're more dominant black athletes that there's more to chose from. Yet when 4 of the top 5 are white, you make up some other excuse.

    Look Lance, I get why you feel the way you do. Many white people don't like to hear about anything racial. Whites have generally been the perpatrators of racial atrocities in America. Talks of racial bias is viewed by them as an attack on them. Also, whites are much less likely to experience racial bias. It's not a problem for them and they are less likely to see it as a problem for others.

    Now you seem to have no interest in seeing things through my eyes. You don't stop to think that the things that I've experienced and the things that the people close to me have experienced has allowed me to see the world in a different way than you do. This again goes back to the basis of my argument.

    Chad Ochocinco is a good guy. He doesn't drink, he doesn't party, he works his ass off, and his trash talk is overall pretty playful. So why is he on the list? Kobe Bryant had a sexual assault accusation against him years ago. The girl withdrew her case after 3 different men's semen was found in her panties, and after she bragged to friends about having sex with Kobe. Outside of that, he really hasn't done anything wrong. Meanwhile, Big Ben is fresh off his second public sexual assault accusation(there have been other sexually related complaints about him as well), yet he's not on the list.

    Black people and white people this situation two entirely different ways. There is a reason for this. I don't think it's productive to just dismiss someone's viewpoint as them being "oversensitive" just because you lack perspective as well as the willingness to understand an outside perspective.

    It sounds like you think Black peopl are OK with other blacks acting like assholes...while Whitey is WRONG to call an ******* an *******...because he don't understand?

    I've asked you once, WHO tghat is white deserves to be on that list?

    And in regards to the other list you posted, try and look at the differences, WHICH SEVERAL POSTERS HAVE EXPLAINED.

    Ads for Kobe, I never thought he did it. Her story was too conbviluted, and the investigation done amatuerly. That said, he's a Laker. People will hate him for that just as the Yankees get an over abundance of hate.

    I am looking at the big picture. You, on the other hand, skin color.
