    Can you cut out the "KKK" crap?

    How bitter can you be?

    Really, we should not be bringing race into this - or even joking about it.

    Peace.

    sly over did it as usual..."however" race/nationality most certainly plays a part here donny. with a sport that's dominated by euro's and ethnic minorities a good white american is great for the sport and will not go unnoticed nor should it.

    Depends on how you define "great for the sport."

    Nevertheless, the "KKK" is ridiculous.

    As Pavlik has face a few top opponent/champions back to back..Miranda..then Taylor...Calslappy in the other hand takes a few years to have big fights...last one was Lacy..before that it was who? Byron MItchell maybe..


    whatver doesn't matter....PAVLIK gets credit,cheers,respect,etc...because of the way he fights....all out bombs..come forward machine...


    that why we ALL loooooovvveee Manny Pacquiao..*even doubt Barrera is going to beat him this saturday*, Morales, Trinidad, etc..guys come to fight..and usually fight the best in their divisions...

    His ancestry is Slovakian, that's all I'm trying to say. There's over 1 million Slovak-Americans living in the united states of america.

    Disagree.

    He's a vulnerable attacker. Those guys get praised...Miranda, Pacq, Hamed, Cotto, Gatti, Monshipour...if people know about them.

    They also get cut on...like Pavlik.
