That's right. He has done well as a fighter. Surely not disrespecting that. The issue is that he says racist **** in interviews about a white fighter and things on this board. He dogged Foreman and Cooney and then lost. Hopkins will likely meet the same fate. Here is a quote from an interview, nothing more to say. I'm done. “Me and Bernard are very good friends,” says Thompson. “He’s more of a level guy because he also comes from a spiritual background as far as him following Islam. So we have a lot of the same traditions and our outlooks are the same.
whats funny is that anthony talks about how black athletes are superior and whites are not as good as the blacks and then goes on to losing to one of the whitest white guys i have ever seen.
i said the comment and it was wrong .... but fact is i beat yuri and was robbed everyone who seen the fight knew it lennox all hbo staff and countless boxers that came.... walked up and told me they felt i was robbed you cyber thugs crack me up not talking about you "Relentless" but this guy who started the thread he goes and says that i said floyd got stoped in sparing i never said that... and has been exposed for the liar he is and now he is tryng to slander me when i said sorry for the comments i made along time ago
Foreman didn't whoop anyone. It was a really close fight, but almost impossible to score because there was almost no boxing involved. That was one of the worst fights of the year, and Foreman is well on his way to becoming a mini John Ruiz. All he does is run and hug. It takes talent to make an Andrey Tsurkan fight boring, but he somehow managed to do so.
He just fought Andrey Tsurkan in the Bronx. Same initials, but I think at1 is Anthony Thompson, who Foreman fought in June at MSG.
I thought Anthony Thomson won that fight with Yuri Foreman. I wouldnt call it a robbery but Foreman was very lucky to escape with a SD win.
I thought Foreman beat Thompson, to be honest. It was competitive, but Foreman was just too rounded for Thompson. As for that video, it was pretty cringe-worthy, but at least Thompson has accepted it was wrong to say the **** he did.
