Let me start off by saying, I really, really wanted to like Golovkin...

But as long as you're in the mood of being blunt and honest. Is it safe to say that the vast majority of Ward and Mayweather fans that you know are primarily so due to a racial similarity first and foremost, and all of these absurd "the boxing mainstream, refs, reporters, white fans, the galaxy and stars, etc are out to hold him down because he's a successful black man" comments are mostly due to this as well?

 

No, I just "live in the real world." See how that works?

 

African Americans for Golovkin T shirts?

 

It does huh? Is GGG's race or ethnicity a stumbling block or obstacle that you have ascend over before enjoying his matches?

I didn't say that it doesn't. I just enjoy getting other people to admit their bias, usually a few seconds before whining and crying about the bias others may or may not show. Usually they demand special privileges in 2.5 seconds afterward.

 

And who are you exactly? You come off as the defacto moderator on this board and make silly threads on a daily basis with your Dr Seuss rhymes.

You're a very antagonistic poster and you should probably cool off a little bit. You're not as smart or articulate as you think you are.

 

GGG is a cool fighter that gets sh!t on due to his, overratedness by media and fans. If you could have a logical discussion about GGG, without all re****ed sh!t his fans claim less people would bash him.

 

is it not possible to like golovkin and ignore the dubass fans?

when i really really want to do something i don't tend to get put off by irrelevances.

 

Mike Tysons fans were much worse. Made it a tad harder to like Iron Mike when he had the stupidest fans on the planet. Human bias leads us to grade something based on who else likes it. It's a bit irrational.

The lesson is: Don't judge a fighter based on his fans, no matter how moronic they are.

 

Its a shame that this happens, total creation of internet forums

hating something because of fans

I got sucked into that with pacquiao in 09-12 hating on Manny because of his fans

now I do my best not to

 

OP has a point about the fans though. There are some real re****s out there.

 

Race only matters to people who let it matter to them, it's as simple as that.
