AFFletic WHITE Guys...

covering a terdsak bout would certainly be one for the memoirs

 

Titsworth was on some undercard of an HBO card years ago and Lampley and Kellerman (if I recall correctly) were trying to be professional but you could tell they were having a hard time not giggling. ::

 

It was Hatton's one world class feature, coming through. He did eventually turn into a bit of a grappler, but for many years Hatton had superbly quick feet which got him in and out of range before his opponents could figure out what was happening.

MTF

 

I remember when he fought Eamon Magee and he had a revelation. " I can go in, hit him, and then step back out!"

 

For sure. I hate Hatton, but he was a lot better than some claimed he was. And yes his feet were world clas. That's why he was able to so easilly whoop Malignaggi running no-skill ass.

 

Since we're Going Ol' School, So was Paul Pender...

1 of REED's CLOSEST Friends/Father Figures is a Damn Near 80 Year Old Boxing Trainer, Named John Lawson...If You Google Satchel Paige, There's a Pic w/Him and a Young Black Kid, Who's the SAME John Lawson...Dude Boxed in the Military and Claims he was Briefly Trained by Sandy Saddler...

Anyways, REED's Posed this Question to Him Many Times Over the Years and he ALWAYS Referenced Paul Pender, Immediately..."Brother REED, There was This White Boy I'm Not Sure Ray Robinson Would've EVER Beat, Even in his Prime. Named Paul Pender and he Beat Ray TWICE."

Several Years Ago, ESPN Classic Showed Pender vs. Kid Gavilan (if REED's Not Mistaken), and REED was INSTANTLY Impressed with Dude, AFFletically...





REED:hammert:

 

Explains a LOT About Hatton's Footwork...





REED:hammert:

 

Yep....but he got back up and dished it out, using the feet and the fists.

 

Tszyu definitely belongs near the top. For a white guy a young Tszyu was extremely athletic.

 

Tszyu was ASIAN, Homey...






REED:mj:

 

Spadafora was pretty slow for a fighter of his style but I'd still say he was affletic.

 

In Fact, There's a Pretty Good Chance Tszyu is STILL Asian Too!!!....






REED:hut:

 

zoo and GGG probably closer to European whites than to east Asians in japan china korea etc. calling them simply "white" or simply "non-white" would both be wrong.

 

They're Obviously NOT Full Blood Asians, Yet Both Possess STRONG Asian Facial Features...Tszyu Moreso than GGG...Barack Obama is TECHNICALLY Half White, yet NOBODY Looks at Him and Sees a White Guy...





REED:mj:

 

I once got to call a fight where there was a German fighter named Bernard Donfack.

Also a nightmare fight nearly happened as a Finnish guy was supposed to face a Frenchman named Vitu. When you say Vitu's in Finnish, such as 'Vitu's face is reddened' it sounds the same as Fucking face or pussy's face. I think I couldn't have gotten through with it

 

just looked them up on Wikipedia. didn't realise that ggg's mom is Korean, and zoo's dad is Korean/Mongolian.

 

HEY LOOSTEER!!!

 

Vitu from Mexico :dunno:

 

If Tszyu isn't white the Chris Eubank jnr isn't black. Both Tszyu and GGG are white fighters just as mixed race guys like Kaly Thompson and Stephen Curry are considered black

 

arent both stephen currys parents black?

 

Is Barack Obama Black or White?








REED

 

The real question is:

Why are only PURE white people called white but any only one mixed even slightly with black is called black? Is white the only thing pure ?

Anyway white Asian mix is typically seen as white as oftentimes they look white. Obama looks and sounds black and identifies more with black. Keanu Reeves looks white for example

 

Good call... You bring up Pender and Kid Gavilan brings me to another quick white fellow, Billy Graham ... Outstanding boxer

 

The hilton brothers were pretty athletic, especially Davey
