All in the family. Google "who controls the media".</font>




The little punk will be working the Calzaghe-Kessler fight, it says - so he'll be instructing us how pathetic the super-middleweight division is these days.

I'll just turn down the volume so I can't hear him and watch it...the commentary isn't important anyway, just the fight.
 
That's an option if the idiot announcers get too loud and obnoxious, as they almost certainly will, but the roar of the crowd contributes to the excitement.
 
Max Kellerman was very complimentary towards both fighters and especially towards Calzaghe. I don't why members on this site dislike him. Sure he is Jewish, but based on the fights he has been involved in, he has been fair. I also like that he knows the history of the fight game and the enthusiasm he brings to the telecasts.

Kellerman stated that Calzaghe is a "special fighter" and in the top 3 of the pound for pound fighters. He is not what some members make him out to be. Lets just be fair. And three cheers for Joe!

Kukulcan, I disagree. During the first few rounds Kellerman was leaning toward Kessler until Manny Steward started to disagree with him. Steward, in my opinion, is a much better analyst. Kellerman has also been very critical of the Klitschko's in the past and has never spoken very highly of a heavyweight champion (Wlad) that is clearly head and shoulders above his competition. That in of itself is a huge problem for me.

Case in point, Kellerman was a huge cheerleader for Chris Byrd and predicted a big win over Wlad when they fought. My other problem with Kellerman is the way he speaks. Not just his high pitched bug eyed ranting, but I constantly feel the need to wash the spittle off my TV screen when he talks. It's like he's trying to chew food while he speaks and I find that to be extremely irritating.

Last but not least, Kellerman is a huge negrophile. If a boxer is black Kellerman instantly loves him. If a boxer is white, well, he has a suspect chin, or his opposition has been weak...etc. I would much prefer Al Bernstein, Bobby Cyz or Gill Clancy's opinion on a fight than the nonsensical ramblings of Kellerman. Just my two cents.

Max Kellerman was very different last night towards Calzaghe and Kessler than he usually is toward white fighters. Maybe he's been reading this forum and others (there's a good thread in the boxrec "Current Scene" forum about him, and several posters discussed how he hates white boxers). Perhaps he was consciously trying to not sound negative toward the white goy boxers that he usually discredits.

However, in the past he's said boxing would be better off without Wladimir, and he's made negative statements about every white fighter that ever come up in his conversations. He was quick to discredit Hatton's win over Castillo as the fight ended.
 
I am far from a fan of Kellerman, but I must admit it was nice to hear someone in the MSM say that Calzaghe is one of the top three P4P fighters in the world. Pretty cool!
 
Kellerman is a real jock sniffer-he picked Vaughan Bean to beat Vitali, he said Wlad would never fight McCline because McCline was to good

. He said Ezzard Charles and Rocky Marcaino should be ranked the same in the all-time rankings-yet Charles lost 25 fights-Rocky not once was beaten and beat Charles twice-then Kellerman said it was because Charles was much older-Charles was only 2 years older then Rocky. Kellerman is a punk.

He's on drugs and high as a kite when he's doing his show.

Literally. His late brother, too. He didn't have Butler living with him so they could discuss politics.

I won't give you a hard time for using the word negro b/c it is in a latin context, so it is acceptable!

It actually sounds educated, not racist, in that context.

Edited to add: It's a latin word and when used in English it is considered racist, just a small step down from n***er.Edited by: ToughJ.Riggins

Like the American Negro college fund?
 
If I can't say Negro, can I still say Caucasian?
 
How about the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's Clubs, or the Negro League Baseball Players Association, or the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, or the National Association of Negro Musicians? The United Negro College Fund is just the tip of the iceberg Tough J. Riggins. Edited by: Colonel_Reb

Thank you kind sir! The last thing I want is to cause any problems for this forum. It's like a breath of fresh air to me

Negro just means "black" in spanish. I don't see what the problem is. Blacks
are supposed to be called "african-american" according to the
authorities, right?

Call them what you want. There's nothing wrong with the word negro.Edited by: PitBull
 
Negroes change their mind about what they want to be called every decade or two. Negro is the only accurate word for a Negro. The current fashion, "African-American", is absurd. Africa is a continent of four major races and many different subraces. An Aryan Afrikaaner from the south or an Aryan Berber from the north who moved to America would be much more of an African-American than Rasheem and Leroy down at the Welfare office on Martin Luther King Blvd. "Black" is also inaccurate as there are Europid (aka White, Caucasian) peoples on the Indian subcontinent who are darker than most Negroes.

Example of an Aryan Berber, Algerian-French soccer star, Zinedine Zidane:


Zinedine%20Zidane%20%2827%29.jpg



Egyptian actress, Rania El Hussein:

Both would be "African-Americans" if they came here, according to the contemporaneous politically correct nonsense!

GO RON PAUL!!!
 
In my opinion, neither one of them would be African-American in the common parlance of the U.S.A. Both would have to check 'White,' or 'Caucasian' on the government's requisite black quarterback forms.
 
Obviously they are White, but using Washington DC's own idiotic politically corrected bolshevik parlance they would be African-American - much more so than Lateesha down in the projects who has never been closer to Africa than Malcolm X Blvd.. Those two are African and their ancestors have been African for countless millenium. But they are not Negroes. Negro is a race; Africa is a geological entity, a continent.

Point well taken on African American (strangely most blacks don't even like being called African without the American) but how about just calling them black! We could leave Latin out of it in our English country.

Or how about colored man/woman? That one was used a little more recently in general American speech then Negro which started being considered racist at the beginning of the civil rights era. It was quite long ago and a very different era before the civil rights movement.

In other news; Mullato just in the past 10-15 years has all the sudden become racist...ridiculous! That one should still be used! What has changed in the past 10 years that Mullato can't be used anymore? I think it's just blacks wanting an excuse to get pissed off at whites. There's a funny episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" where Larry David gets in trouble for saying Mullato which he had no idea was "NOW ALL THE SUDDEN CONSIDERED RACIST!"

"People of Color" is in fashion now, or at least it was recently. Yet "Colored People" is practically a felony nowadays.

Absolutely true. If anyone says, " I have nothing against colored people "it will be viewed as a racist comment, but to say "Our company should reach out to people of color " that statement will be seen in a positive light.
 
I say f... them. Treat all people the same, no favoritism, entitlements or perferences. Call the negros black, anglos white, people from asia asian and hispanics who look hispanic latin. The last one is confusing but WTF. I am just a little pissed off this Monday and perturbed that Kevin Curtis did not have bigger numbers with McNabb good throwing!
