Floyd Mayweather Racist Comments

[Guest]

Being thick didn't salvage Ron Atkinson's career

[FatTony]

They've got more brains than him. Boxers get battered all the time in the head, maybe that's symptomatic of the sport?

Didnt he also say he'd never lose to a white man in the build up to the Hatton fight?

true to his words wasn't he

[Ben_Itez]

He could have just said Hatton will never beat me.

He's just a cock, plain and simple. Brilliant boxer mind.

i could be wrong
but it might have been someone else who said it.

[Hollowman]

It was Hopkins said it about Calzaghe.

Yep, in lead up to Calzhage fight.

[FatTony]

Heh. I love Floyd. He can say whatever he wants.

Then you should change your name to Shallowman

Hopkins wasn't then

On the Hopkins comment, if Hatton had said, "i'll never lose to a black man" would that be racist?

Possibly, I suppose it depends on context. It would also have been wrong. :haha

The particular issue I have with Floyd is the specific bit about white men can't box so they had to go invent something else. That to me is racist, pure and simple. He's ignored the heavyweight division, ignored/dismissed what Calzaghe has achieved.

That said, I'm not going off on one, I just think its racist and put it here for discussion.

I just bet that sounded witty in your head. Shame.

[Rafael Benítez Maudes]

i wouldn't mind if hatton said that
