    Dude....if anything Black fighters are viewed as "the best". Not that it is necessarily true, but they are almost automatically placed in a category where they are the most athletic, the fastest and considered a favorite in fights with other races....FOR THE MOST PART..not all the time.

    Not talking about the past, I'm talking about the present.

    I'm not a fan of people trading shots to the head. I like skill, you don't have to be a slugger to show heart or digg deep. As for JT, people were happy when he won because he beat a guy that a great deal of people hate, B-Hop. AFter he settled in, all people did was complain and berate the man for fighting a legend to a draw, beating a legend twice, and losing in a great battle, with a tremendous show of heart, to Pavlik and then losing a close decision to him.

    You bring up an interesting point. If people really do believe that, do you think it is possible that maybe passively the general public expects too much from your average non HOF black fighter?

    If you are not a fan of people throwing head shots I'm not sure how you became a fan of this sport...Boxing for the most part is throwing hands and the main target is the head, face, jaw or nose....I actually wish more boxers would dedicate themselves to going more to the body, but ultimately people in boxing want to see KOs.

    I'm a fan of the sweet science as well....guys like whitaker, Pep, armstrong, Leonard and Robinson ...even Pryor were guys who had a lot of skills...but they were also warriors. They would show you they had the skill to out box you easily but wanted to FIGHT, Trade and impose his will over his opponents.

    Which is why the Brutality of this sport is where boxing gets its fan base...Hard core fans get a bit more in to the technique, subtle skills that embody what boxing is. I understand you like the skill....we all do, but golfing is all about skill too but a gold fan and and boxing fan are different creatures altoghether.

    And YES.....I think the general public expects more from the "BLACK ATHLETE" overall. The media has been pumping the general public that black athletes are the best and make seem that that's all they are good at...well that or singing or rapping. It's wrong but it seems to be true for the most part.....So when Taylor lost to the "WHITE GUY"....he was written off. Of course the media loves the Great white hype so when PAV knocked off Jermaine everyone turned on him.

    Why are you explaining and reacting to me? I never reacted or not even read what you have posted.

    I was communicating directly to onepunchnet.
