    "For your murder of old man Rafferty, on the night of June 6, 2011, I hereby sentence you to 30 years of repeated viewings of Klitscko vs Ibragimov!"

    "No please your honor! Anything but that! Give me the chair! The needle! Slave labor! Anything but that! Please!"


    Of course this would most likely be viewed as cruel and unusual.

    people should lower their expectations for African American fighters. they make up 10% of the U.S. population. they are still over-represented in the boxing world

    How about actually answering the question as difficult as it may seem? Which potential black heavyweight has been denied a supposedly successful boxing opportunity because he instead decided to shoot free throws or kick field goals? These claims are so easy to make without offering any names for us to laugh at. Please offer us some names. We need the comedic relief. Would Lebron James be the HW champ right now? LOL!!!!!!! Such a jack of all trades. He could have been president too.

    Kick field goals? :huh Dont watch much NFL do ya?


    Watching how pathetic Wlad looked today against a B level cruiserweight. I'd say about half the roster of the Portland Trailblazers would be heavyweight champ if they started boxing at a young age.

    Obviously a higher influx of people taking part in a sport would raise the chances of there being elite level fighters to be developed among the mix, but it doesn't guarantee a dominant heavyweight champion either. I understand the point but you can't exactly state it as fact.

    calm down. you of all people should be reveling in the K2 domination :roll: that's all the boxing you watch anyway.

    throwing out names is too fking easy by the way. there are so many great athletes in the NBA and NFL. Andre Johnson, Lebron, Howard etc.

    yeh but these guys aren't no match for the physical specimen that is fast Eddie :rofl

    like I said before, this is from a pool of 40 million. black people are grossly over-represented in both football and basketball, at all levels. this is a serious drain on the talent pool, or do you deny that?

    At least you're not afraid to embarrass yourself. That takes confidence, as delusional as it may seem.
