    :lol: Good ****. I was confused. Anyway, in America, there are all different nationalities. Whites generally associate moreso with their nationality than their race. So an Italian-American is very likely to root for Malignaggi this weekend because he's Italian-American. Duddy fully admits that he's only popular in the States because he's basically the only Irish fighter here and Irish-Americans are strongly behind him. Mexican-Americans were rooting for the Mexican Margarito over their fellow American, Mosley. You see all these people have a nation outside of the U.S that they're associated with. That's not the case with most Black Americans.

    Most of us are products of slavery and have no idea about our history outside of the U.S. As a result, our race has become a pseudo nationality for most of us. We have a common bond that non Black Americans don't understand. Therefore, just like Mexican-Americans will root for Mexicans, Black-Americans will root for other Black Americans. It's not racist or discreminatory. Refusing to associate with someone because of their race or nationality is discreminatory, rooting for someone because they share a common history is not.

    Larry Merchant needs to be put down humanely and sent to a soap factory. That old horse is lame.

    Larry just tells it how it is. He was calling out Floyd for being a cherry picker which he was. He called his fights boring, which they are. Larry's just being real.

    Ridiculous bull****. The truth hurts does'nt it. Just because Merchant speaks the truth about Floyds opponents over the years and speaks the truth about Mayw. baseless accusations about Paq. that must mean he hates Floyd. Is was very true when Larry stated that Mayw. baseless acquisations against Paq are because he believes no one could be that good except himself.

    Great! I don't like Mayweather either. Looks like Larry and I have something in common.
