if anything on sohh i was a lacy andpunisher stan..esp the punisher..i used to talk about manny-punisher or floyd-punisher fight scenarios a lot since they were feasible fights back then and my nikka punisher was being avoided..but as mentioned supporting boxers just because of their race only is stupid..lacy and punisher dont look like me...i supported lacy, punisher, and pac because i liked the way they fought..there's great fighters in all races and nationalities..even in haiti :lolbron:


Damn right Stevenson and Pascal ftw brehbreh :lolbron:

Well maybe its just the cubans down in Miami that hate him thats why I stopped going out to watch the fight because I always end up fighting or about to fight for rooting for Floyd :manny:

@HALLOWEEN :ohhh:Damn brig where you been you still on that COD?

i think Mexicans (at least the ones that i know) hate Floyd because they're narrow minded and expect every fight to be a brawl. They forget what the sport is.

As far as race in boxing goes. I believe people that really like the sport wont put race as a determining factor if they should cheer for some one or not. I also believe it's the fans that makes us cheer for own race. Example: I cant cheer for some one of "race Z" at a bar if all of "race Z" fan are talking shii about mine. That's why i try my hardest to watch fights at someone's house. My circle is diverse and we keep it civil.

I like coming to the ring because i see that most of yall enjoy the sport and careless of the race of these boxers.

@mcellas .....as far a COD goes im done breh :sadbron:.. life finally caught up and had to start taking care of business... ill come back though:demonic:

It was always a pleasure having you on my squad bro:salute:

It's funny because back on Sohh, me and @SkiHatDaGawd would constantly be arguing with dudes saying "All Floyd does is run blah blah blah...." telling them pretty much the same shyt that they don't know anything about boxing but now that we are saying it to Floyd "fans" it's a problem. :camby:

I knew somebody was going to bring this up. First off boxing is a nationalistic sport. Just like soccer. No different than a country rooting for their national team.

You can't compare the 2. Mexican is a nationality. Black is a race. 2 different things. Mexicans cheer for anybody who is Mexican, regardless of what he looks like

I mean Mexicans root for Canelo, and he doesn't look anything like them...

canelo-alvarez-floyd-mayweather-and-canelo-alvarez_3733765.jpg


But he's Mexican, so they root for them. Rooting for somebody with the same nationality as you =/= rooting for somebody of your skin color. If you said you were rooting for Floyd because he's American, you'd have a point.

And I don't believe in rooting for boxers because they have the same nationality either. I root for them because they're good :yeshrug:

Americans don't root for him (Floyd) he been getting booed out the building since around the Gatti fight if i recall. Im just making an observation of things I witness in my life.
But are you saying I'm completely wrong or is it that you just don't believe it?

Word, that logic is stupid as hell. There are plenty of Whites that like Floyd and Blacks that dislike Floyd.
Just because you're Black doesn't mean you have to like Floyd, nor should you have an obligation to do so
preach...ive said it before floyd's fighting is second to none..i'm a fan of his fighting....floyd is a beautiful fighter to watch..esp if you've boxed before you know can appreciate the type of shyt he puts himself through in order to do what he does...i can name my favorite floyd fights just like your average floyd stan and everything but thats where it stops..im not of fan of floyd the person or persona...he's corny to me..nor do I think he has the greatest career I've seen in my lifetime or of all times...it what it is

and whats more annoying to me which was prevalent in that pac-bradley 2 thread was the fact nikkas were being called c00ns and shyt because bradley got his asswhooped by pac and this time officially lost like he should have and nikkas cheered the result..talmbout we should support bradley because he's black and whites, asians, whatever were supporting pac :dahell:..fukk outta here:camby:...never mind the fact it was a good fight and pac beat that ass again..injury and all..cuz if bradley got that dec nikkas would have been saying "yeah manny isn't shyt..bradley beat that nikka again even though he was injured" like they did for the first fight..cant have it both ways and thats why i went in on nikkas who got on that racial bullshyt.

Nah, I hear you. Americans (depending on who you talk to) either love him or hate him. I'm sure that race might play a part, but I think from what I've seen it's more attitude. Everybody mentions how cocky Mayweather is and how much shyt he talks, blah blah blah. Remember, people back in the day hated Ali (don't let revisionist history fool you. Ali was HATED by many).

At the end of the day, people should like fighters based on skill. Nothing else. I don't feel you can truly appreciate boxing if you're wrapped up in all this other extra shyt :manny:

The same thing I say Ali was the king of talking shyt now cacs wanna be his friend they tried to send my nikka to war just to stop him from fighting.

Honestly I Floyd was likable but he went full Hell when he fought DLH. Oscar must have put a battery in his back and told him that you will make more money than you ever dreams of if you go Heel. He reminds me of Vince Mcmahon during his feud with Austin ppl paid good money to see Vince get his ass kicked

Nah, Floyd Mayweather went full heel in the build up for Floyd Mayweather vs Arturo Gatti.


That's when it began

I don't think DLH put the battery in his back. I think Floyd realized it was a necessary transformation. You could tell it was coming because of the change in attitude leading up to the fights. Dating back to the Gatti fight, where he completely shytted on Arturo, calling him an overrated C+ club fighter feasting on bums. The demeanor in his post fight interviews changed. His fight with Oscar just put it all out there on the main stage because Oscar was a big star, so it gave Floyd a platform.

It was a necessary evil though. The truth is that most people outside of hardcore fans dont know shyt about or care about the intricacies or the actual science of boxing. That's why MMA is where it's at (no diss to MMA though, because I fukks with it too). That's why he did it, because nobody gave a shyt about Floyd when he was Pretty Boy Floyd. He had to make his persona as Money Mayweather in order to sell himself and make himself marketable.

If it wasn't for that, Floyd would be in the same boat as Andre Ward or Guillermo Rigondeaux
