Racism in the World of Boxing

i remember someone posted that bernard hopkins called tomasz adamek a "robotic whiteboy"

 

Admittedly, Whites know that they can't get away with that. Don't mean that they aren't racists or at least racially charged though. Nice try.

 

Sure....

 

Tommy Morrison was called the Great White Hope but ended up catching what many ignorant folk call the black mans disease .


Who came out with that great quote " boxing is a sport where white men watch two black men beating eachother up "( or something like that ) . Was that Ali ?

 

no i ent havin a laugh:good

 

in not so long ago, i read something bout pac not having a quality opponent. had he fought a black guy on his way up in lightweight he surely get his ass beaten, some kind of stuff. though i cant recall exactly where ive read it, a certain nallege can help you big time. :rasta

 

He doesn't. He gets alot of abuse on account of his **** weak chin and the fact that he's been hyped up to be the second coming, but i can't recall an example of someone abusing him because of his race. People are always looking to spin criticism of an ethnic in the UK into a racial issue, when really its more often simply a criticism of that individuals general shiteness.

 

Pretty much everything surrounding the Gerry Cooney-Larry Holmes fight was racist.

 

look up alan minter's comments before the hagler fight: something like... 'no black man will take my title'
Hagler stopped him in London I believe... this result caused a fans riot

Yes. It was Ali.

 

How about jack Johnson :think

 

I've read somewhere (don't have the link right now) that Barrera belittles Morales for having more Native American than Spanish blood.
