Gable looks better jobbing than Jordan does on a win streak

 

[dat dude chris]

If his opponents were BLACK, those Top 3 events wouldn't do anywhere near the business

I disagree with that. If he woulda fought Broner during his peak than that fight woulda done MONEY

There aint many big fighters in Floyds weight classes that happen to be black. Other great black fighters are in bigger weight classes besides Terrence Crawford. Guys like Ward, Joshua & Wilder are huge compared to Floyd lol. And Terrence Crawford aint become a big fighter til after Floyd retired

So his biggest 3 fights JUST so happen to be against other ethnicities?

You are severely discrediting the racial aspect.

Sure he and Broner would have done solid numbers but nowhere near making this list.

Go do your history, boxing is ROOTED in ethnic and racial battles

People that don't watch boxing aren't checking for black man vs. Black man fights.

The racial battles create "fight parties" where people that don't watch show up

Chuck Wepner claims that Ali asked Wepner to call him a racial slur on TV because he knew it would make the fight draw more

Well also consider #1 is against another well known, very popular fighter and it was a fight people were waiting for years to happen. #2 and #3 were against great Mexican stars and Mexicans support their fighters.

#Boom

Jack Johnson was a big deal why? Because a black man came in and dominated a sport that was traditionally not dominated by blacks.

What did those racist white dudes come to those fights to see? White hero take down the black dude.

Humans love turf wars man

Shane O' Mac!!!

Huge pop..

That is also a factor. Never said it was ONLY about race but we are foish if we don't see the differences in race don't make the fights MORE intriguing

Shane gonna give AJ a nice rub down

"put my hands all over you"

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Somebody missed their cue..

 

[DCAllAfrican]

If Connor was black, this fight wouldn't have ANYWHERE as near the anticipation

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Damn Shane is sweating..

 

[green rhino123]

If Connor was black, this fight wouldn't have ANYWHERE as near the anticipation

But what if Mayweather was white?

 

[green rhino123]

KO just kicked his boss in da head. That can't be good.
