Racism in the World of Boxing

Make sure to mention how Jack Johnson drew the colour line against his own people once he won the title and didn't give the best black fighters a shot like Mcvey, Langford & Jeanette.

Calzaghe said pretty muich the same thing only i think he said Euro's

Doesn't Pavlik's Ghost moniker come from being one of the only white guys when he was coming up as an amateur and all the **** talk he got?

lol and Americans don;t talk **** about the Klitschko's and aren't prejudice against "the reds" even Teddy Atlas can't hide his distain when he's on air.

Dealing with race and being honest you could add "black" american to that sentence.

Golota-Bowe and Maskaev-Rahman could possibly be cited as a microcosm of this, Eastern European (white boy) KO's/beats down the Black american and the crown riots and starts beating people with chairs and lord knows what else.

( i realize the Golota fight some of that anger was due to the low blows but there was certainly a racial element to that riot)

Not to mention that Hopkins had already lost to a white fighter before Calzaghe.

 

What a crock of dumb-ass ****...

You are just another dumb-ass, butt-hurt, sensitive motha****a who tries to equate **** talk with actual systemic racism...


Whatever. Carry on.

 

Who was the white fighter that beat Hopkins before Calzaghe did it?
