I don't think everyone here agree that "the blacks" are all disrespectful cheaters or cowards these days, but maybe you could make a poll to help clear that up. Also, feel free name one other sport where popularity or excitement are weighed heavily as explicit criteria in any serious ranking of the greatest players or teams. And I don't mean in the manner in which people will always have at least some bias for the teams or athletes they enjoyed watching the most; I mean that popularity counts as much as actual accomplishments.
I cannot vote against possibly the greatest super batam of all time. Plus my favourite fighter of the past 15 years. Bernard is one of the most effective fighters I have seen, I dont think this makes you greater.
Polls have been made, and the fans have spoken. Maybe not in those exact words, but the truth is, it is becoming more and more of a problem in the black boxing community. But anyways, as far as naming other sports...you play basketball, you play football, BUT YOU DONT PLAY BOXING...and a one on one sport should never be compared to a sport where teammates are involved....it just doesn't work that way....
right...bernard is great at using his head, rabbit, punches, low blows and mind games....while morales is great at using his heart, punches, and will.....:good
So do you think the results of any poll here should simply be taken as "facts" in the boxing world? Fine, but I'm pretty sure popularity is not used as an explicit criterion when ranking individuals in other one-on-one sports either. Nor do I have the slightest clue how the play/don't play distinction somehow implies that we should all of the sudden start worrying about popularity when considering greatness.
Why is Eric Morales being overrated these days? Morales is greater than Floyd and Hopkins? Are you ****ing trying to kid real boxing fans?
What it says is that you Mexicans have 100 years before you can even appraoch the greatness of Blacks in Boxing.:deal I want to see how many of these so called great Mexicans are even in the top 50 ATG or even 20 P4P rankings today because right now it ain't lolkking that great for Mexican boxers. Cuba has better boxers. Espeically since you're all putting your hopes on a average fighter in Saul Alverez:rofl If you want to call putting a jab in someone's face making them miss and countering the **** outta them and making them look silly running then so be. Pea Whitaker owned JCC's ass in the ring and will forever be his daddy:hi: I watch boxing and the last time I checked the name of the game is to hit and not get hit not take 3 punches to land one and get the **** boxed out of you in the process.
You are one big pile of worthless **** you ****ing troll. You offer nothing in this debate other than your ****** ass pathetic point of view. Don't ever talk to posters like you can speak on black folk ******. You aren't black!
In ring they're completely the opposite, Hopkins knows every trick in the book he does get away with a lot minor 'illegal' stuff, whilst Morales is one of the cleanest fighters i've seen.
Hmm, let's take a gander at the identities under each option on the public poll. What do you know, most African American respondents seem to have gone with one option (and make up its largest representation) and most Mexican respondents seem to have gone with the other (and make up its largest representation). Fancy that. Cuckoo bananas!
I'll watch it because i'm a fan of the boxing and can appreciate what Hopkins does in the ring. His clinic of Tito was one of the best displays of boxing of this era. If you can't appreciate that then find a new sport.:hi:
cubans there is currently 18 mexican world champs you dick...can you compare any other country to that, **** no.....at lower weights you guys are getting your ass handed to you by mexicans....at the highter weights the euros are smacking you silly too.... your history is great, but it's just that, HISTORY....we're talking about times, buddy...not your great grandfathers time, suckafish.....
