    not the threat that Hops and Winky were at the time Tito faced them, no.

    I already said I give PBF credit for living in the ring with ODH, and eeking out a decision. But it was in no way impressive, and the fact that it's him, and not ODH, calling for a rematch is proof.

    what's your point? if a white fighter comes into to the ring to a Slayer song, with long hair and tatoos, and calling for mass extermination and for satan to prevail you think he's not gonna be labelled a scum-bag?

    basically, you're saying a guy can dress like a thug, and be intimidating, and pretend he's a drug dealer, but because he's not in reality any of those things, shame on someone for labelling him a thug?

    It's VERY Doubtful...

    N Fact,REED would Expect Larry Merchant to APPLAUD Such a Fighter...

    & Sorry,NO So-called "Gangsta" Fighter has EVER Done Something as ATROCIOUS as Call for "Mass Extermination" OR for "Satan to Prevail"...

    Can't Really See the Comparison U're Trying to Make...& HOW EXACTLY does Floyd "Pretend" to B a Drug Dealer???...U ARE Aware that MOST Drug Dealers R WHITE,Don't U???

    How is Mayweather a thug? :dunno: Judah could be label a thug cause of past activities in the ring...and outside the ring shit...and the entourage he kept in previous fights...

    Mayweather is a bit country IMO..like Jones.

    Floyd is Actually the Happy MEDIUM,N REED's Opinion...

    He's Definitely NOT "Thuggish" like Zab,but he's Not Quite "Country" Like Roy,Either...

    Floyd's a Midwestern Cat...

    where do you get this idea? all the best shit i've ever gotten has been from black dudes. :lol:i can tell you that.

    i guess when it comes to certain drugs, like red-neck crack meth you might have a point, but i think you're wrong in general - and that's especially true in terms of pct of population. wouldn't you agree?

    :lol: I didn't know that. I thought he just snatched oscar's stuff to be "pseudo ghetto".

    You can't blame me for thinking that, seeing as he said "ok I stole your shit, now do something about it". That's thug speak.

    He didn't say "By the way oscar, I found your stuff, pick it up from Leonard when you get a chance". :lol:

    REED - to be fair I don't think floyd is a thug, but hasn't he been known to act like one? I have never seen the guy in real life, but reports suggest he used to go around Vegas with a huge entourage all the time, all up his own arse, acting the thug. Didn't he once hit some women in a vegas club?

    From what I have seen he isn't really a thug. For example, he stayed well clear of the thug melee in the ring with Judah, like a professional should.

    But let's say, there are things floyd has done and ways he has acted that at least suggest wannabe thug.

    It has nothing to do with him being black either. I actually like Vargas, I always have done, but it's undeniable - he was also a wannabe thug.

    And for example, if I played up finding someone's bag, and pretending I stole it, saying "I stole it, what are you gonna do about it" then I would seem like a thug too, or at least a wannabe thug.

    I am not really sure about floyd, I don't know how accurate reports were against him etc, but I am leaning towards him not really being a thug at all, but sometimes he certainly plays the "thug card".
