Looks like I have been banned from posting to the Comments section of articles on Eastside Boxing. The post that led to my demise:
A few posters said that I was playing the race card when race was not a factor in Toney's decision, and one or two said they agreed with me. I have seen much, much worse on those boards, many times. But since that comment, I have not been able to post.
Obviously, I don't see anything wrong with what I said. Toney has been spouting off and making racist comments for years, but forget about anyone calling him on it, message board or otherwise. It is hilarious the lengths some will go to in order to avoid having to discuss the racial dynamics in a given situation, when they are as in-your-face as the elephant in the living room.
Notice that I did not say blacks were inferior, or whites superior, I merely said that part of the reason Toney does not want to face Wladimir is because he cannot lose to a white fighter and retain any shred of credibility. This is the corner that Toney has backed himself into, and no one else. But a white person who mentions Toney's own comments is flogged as a racist and banned.
Toney will fight Peter for less money than he would have earned against Wlad because he thinks he can outbox Peter. He cannot outbox Wladimir and would get KTFO. In addition, if he loses to Peter he has no shame, because Peter is black and known as a power hitter. Toney would lose major face and street cred were he ever to get KO by a white fighter, after all the racial BS he's been spouting. Now, this fat idiot will end up with ANOTHER title shot if he outlasts Peter. Forgive me if I think this is a travesty and a joke.
