Boxing: Race and The One questions?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
No, I don;t believe boxing is promoting racism, nationalism and patriotism, to a degree yes, racism, no. Some people really tend to inject nationalistic and patriotic fervor and flavor in any sports competition, be it in boxing, soccer, baseball , even kite flying. Some countries really are very good at certain sports as Russia in chess and gymnastics, Cuba in amateur boxing and baseball, Argentina in football, Brazil in volleyball, Jamaica in sprints, the Philippines in billiards/snookers and they take pride in that to the point of stamping ownership of the sports. On the contrary, the USA has been particularly dominant in sports as basketball, boxing, swimming, track and field but all we usually see is a flag waving especially in the Olympics but this is really the first time that I have known about nationalistic slurs being exchanged in the social media which I think is another disadvantage with the modern communication media we have to deal or live with. On the other hand, until you bring this up, not many would really know or care to care about such vitriolic going on in the twitter, which is "normal: anyway for such cyber site,

I don't think Mexicans really hate Floyd as they don't really hate Manny Pacquiao despite the losses suffered by their top boxers against the two.

Floyd has thus far beaten every top Mexican and Mexican-American fighters he has meet in the ring.

I have no doubt, Floyd would have beaten Morales at 130 through 140 lbs. Floyd would have also defused and beaten Margarito at 147 lbs. Floyd's speed, quicker reflexes , skill and talent would have been too much for both.

A) - No, Nationalism/ Yes. Bigotry/ Nope.

b) - Hell no. I'm proud Mexica and I love Mayweather's talents.

C) He's beaten all of them.

D) - Mayweather would have beaten Morales. Morales had very, very good boxing skills, but Floyd's simply on another level.

D2) - It would have went like Mayweather vs. Gatti, though i don't think Marga would have been stopped.

Yes, I beleive boxing at its core is racially motivated and will always be. A lot of fans today in boxing do believe in racial superiority and having one fighter of certain race beat another proves that. In fact there are some especially in the YTBC (youtube boxing community) who oppose blacks fighting blacks and dont want to see Floyd against the likes of Broner or Thurman because it wont prove their superiority unless against different race

Of course theres a percentage of fans who just love boxing for what it is, but most do because of racial attachments. And theres no doubt in my mind that boxing does promote racism between the blacks and hispanics, or Pinoys. Im not sure why europeans havent been involved in this racial feud since their arguably as involved in boxing as the Pinoys. I dont sense any racial animosity from their end but i do from our end since we do love to refer to them as Euro-bums and claim our superiority against their fighters

Morales kicked mays *** in a sparring session and no we don't hate blacks. How about you blacks? Do you hate us?

A) Does boxing promote racism?

B) Do Mexicans hate Floyd?

C) What is Floyd's record against Mexicans?

D) #1: How would have Mayweather/Morales went?

D) #2: How would have Mayweather/Margarito went?
