Favorite white fighters of all time

REED Had High Hopes for Kelly Pavlik...

Though SLOW AF, He was Fundamentally Sound, Tough, Entertaining and Could PUNCH Like Hell...He Also Had a Cool, Unassuming Personality; When Asked Why His Nickname was the "Ghost", Pavlik Dead Panned "Because I'm WHITE"...

After the WAY Pavlik Unseated Jermain Taylor from the Middleweight Throne, REED was Sure He'd Be Boxing's Next SUPERSTAR, But Pavlik's Vices Got the BETTER of Him...His Braintrust Also MISCALCULATED Just How "Old" and "Past It" Bernard Hopkins Was...

But Ultimately, Pavlik's LIFESTYLE Caught Up w/Him...Pavlik Could've and SHOULD'VE Been Much More Than he Was, in REED's Opinion...

Boxers with a mix of former Soviet states and Korean just seem to be double-'ard bastards - Tszyu, GGG, Bivol like you say.

 

Pavlik couldn't lay off the Jack n' Coke's

 

Mexican and hispanic is not a race. Canelo is white. He's got Red hair and freckles. Maybe Explosive Should've put a disclaimer(white-non hispanic). Manfreddy was white. His skin was transluscent like a damn goupie.

 

Any Mixed Race Person Has the RIGHT to IDENTIFY w/Whatever Ethnicity Encompasses Them...

REED Can't Help But Apply AMERICAN Logic, However...In the States, You're Treated How You LOOK, Period...If a Person is Mixed w/White and Black/Asian/Hispanic, if they LOOK the Slightest Bit Black/Asian/Hispanic, They'll Be Treated Accordingly...

SADLY, Some of Those Same Mixed Race Souls Don't Always Get ACCEPTANCE from the Non-White Side Either...Toooo BLACK for WHITE Folks and Toooooo WHITE for BLACK Folks, So to Speak...




REED

 

REED Certainly Won't ARGUE w/You About YOUR People, but Canelo's a Strange One...

Yes, He APPEARS to Be White (Red Hair, Freckles), But if You Look at Family Photos of Canelo as a Youth, He's Literally THE ONLY Fair Skinned Motherfucker in the Bunch...All the Rest Have the Stereotypical Brown Mexican Skin and Dark Colored Hair...

Maybe Canelo's Mother DIPPED w/a WHITE Guy on the Side, Who Knows, but it IS Strange How He's the ONLY Fair Skinned Person in his Entire Family...

Going Back to the Point REED Made About Race/Ethnicity/Nationality in AMERICA, He Doesn't Know Anyone Who Considers Canelo White...Ditto for Manfredy...

Again, Not Arguing, Just SAYIN'...




REED

 

That's interesting. Because other Latinos like Sammy Sosa, Nas, Andre Berto, Erislandy Lara , Ugas are considered Black and nobody would question that. But when it comes to "white" latinos it's a little different.

 

Nasir Jones??? Latino????

No, Nas is an African American. Unless you're confusing Nas with his often times 90s partner in bars, AZ, because AZ is Dominican. So is Fabolous.

And Andre Berto is Haitian.

 

Angel Manfredy doesn't even look white. You're going purely off skin tone. Manfredy has the look and the physical features of a lightskinned Latino. Granted, I've been around a shit ton of Ricans my whole life. And I assure you, Manfredy would not identify as white.

Canelo, yes, he looks white. But REED already mentioned that Canelo is an outlier in his family.

 

How tf did this get so over complicated.

You know who's white and who's not

 

He beat Oscars old cokey ass!!

 

Some of these guys are black and blue by the end of the fight!

 

Fritzie Zivic because I'm Croatian to and because my aunt got his autograph in 1940.
Jimmy Heair and Randy Shields because I saw them fight when I was young . There were the only white guy on the show at the Olympic when I saw them and , since 1974, I am almost always the only white guy in every gym.

 

I'd love to have seen Vito the Mosquito in there today at 160. Him Vs Canelo. Great fight.

 

Vito was strang like bear and w/o Peds

 

Vito vs Lamotta would be a nice mythical matchup.

Obviously, Lamotta was a level above, but still.

 

Vito and LaMotta would both out-box Canelo

 

Talking bout taking my money? Talkin about taking my money?

 

Canelo better not sit on any cadillacs around Vito.

 

Most people won't get that so .....up their ass.
