    @Birmingham

    By that logic, I, as a white man, shouldn't support any black fighter should I?


    There was a video going round in mayweather's gym, asking whether Calzaghe or Lewis were 'Britain's best boxer'.

    A couple of black guys said they were picking Lewis because he was 'a fellow brother'......

    Is that racist?

    Lots of black ppl speak like that.. You hear it all the time, but nobody mentions it..

    Only when it fits!

    Rollseyes..

    Edit.. And why the colour of someone's skin is still brought up by so many beats the sh!t out of me, ppl always have to mention colour like it defines a person... Black this, white that....

    And we wonder why there's still such a divide when ppl just see someone's skin colour..

    It's utter nonsense IMO and it peeves me tbh.

    And breathe... Mini rant over Lol

    Dont forget, so many hearts and minds were exposed when they voted for Donald Trump in 2016. People were exposed for the closet/overt racists they were.

    A dangerous precedent has been set and politicians knows how to exploit it the world over.

    Not to mention a similar thing with the UK voting to leave the EU.. Lots of stupid ppl felt it legitimised racial hate and They've all came out of the woodwork over the past year or so...

    It's pathetic!

    Millions of people who voted for Obama in 2012, voted for Trump in 2016. Trump had to flip states to win.

    As a Brit, I'm thankful that Americans DIDN'T vote for Hillary Clinton. Arguably one of the most corrupt career politicians of the modern era.

    Im not a Wilder fan, but Parker’s team recently came out and said they didn’t go the Wilder route, as the money/offer was not any better than what he was getting for fighting journeymen. This shows that a fight was in the making.

    I do agree though that Wilder and Co ducked Wlad. I believe Wlad was looking for that fight around the time Fury fought Chisora the second time.

    Me too. She is pure evil.

    Too bad they didnt vote for old man Sanders.

    Instead it was a race between a sexual predator vs the wife of a sexual predator who also used to defend sexual predators.

    Probably a true statement, the wolves wont be happy until joshua loses his 0, if wilder doesnt do it this place will get quite depressed id say

    That said, im not sure how good joshua is, i wasnt that impressed v parker tbh, he looked a bit stiff and that ref took away parkers inside fighting, i mean boxers need to allowed to body shot p, not all inside fighting is grappling

    Like I said, benefit of the doubt. Who? A hacker/someone with an axe to grind. There seem to be plenty...

    I think the problem for Joshua is that he isn't an American black, not enough ignorance and too much decorum. That's why the demo guys hate him, they much prefer their heavies to be full of **** and air, whoosh whoosh.

    If parker was actually allowed to fight on the inside I guarantee it would not have gone twelve rounds, Joshua would have been forced to go toe to toe and I know for a fact his chin would not hold up.
    The way the ref was protecting Joshua was a complete joke and had my girlfriend annoyingly asking me what's the ref doing.
    It's pathetic isn't it? Imagine in Tysons prime if he wasn't allowed to fight his fight and the ref kept pulling him away every time he was in close and throwing.
    Joshua is a protected juice head.
