johnphilip Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 Racial Steriotyping, you make it sound like I'm being putting them down. Black men tend to make better boxers white men, the list of world champions proves that, they also seem to be better at Athletics as well. Anyway, As for Alderly's chances, I think he can do it and I think the people who were booing him after his win should be ashamed. He has come back from Rock Bottom when everyone had wrote him off, the media were critical. He has proven them all wrong, now can we get behind our fighter ?

johnphilip Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 For such a huge man he was a disgrace a real chicken in the first fight. True, but thats in the past. Even Barry Mcgwinan was eating Humble Pie, and he said, "he was keen to get behind Alderly in the Future" (hardly think it was appropriate for Barry to admit he had urges/feelings on National TV). Come on everyone, the guys proven himself, now the time has come to support him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnphilip Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 And why would a Black Person be offended by someone saying "Black people are good at this, that.... ?" don't you think they would be complimented? Its only the PC brigade that gets offended by everything. Oh, white people are good at cooking...... AARRGH more racial steriotyping, lets flap our arms in the air and get offended, call the police, arrest that man !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade65 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hi, I once went out with a coloured girl who swore that black atheletes were better runners because of their lower natural body fat levels......I asked her if that explained why they weren't very good swimmers! Until not too very long ago, all the heavyweight champs were Russian or Ukrainian.....and I think we can expect to see a lot more good East European boxers now that their access to the West is more open; it's a bit like the situation was for a lot of American boxers (who mainly happened to be black because of the social/economic situation), where it's a route out of poverty...it's the same now for the E Europeans who are now in the EU or whatever it is.
