People hate because he's a white in a small division, Usyk does not get nearly the same amount of hate but Loma does. Ever since blacks lost their dominance in the heavier divisions the new cope is only men under 150 lbs can be skilled.

i notice the same thing with inoue vs zhang. Blacks hate the former way more than the latter even though zhang destroyed wilder. I never thought about it but youre right about their cope on how heavier weight classes lack the talent lighter weight classes do (it dosen't help that wilder was a dominant force at some point). This is their cope because 135-147 is where blacks are most prominent right now. One of their hypejobs haney got exposed by an alcoholic white mexican so you can only expect them to get more bitter

I think many of posters have given up on the heavier divisions as Black Americans haven't been dominant in divisions above 147 for close to 20 years.

The mantra about the best American athletes(ie Black) are playing basketball and football are always mentioned(never baseball or hockey for obvious reasons) but in the divisions of 147 and below it would be a very rare athlete that could make a major league squad in any of the 4 main stream professional leagues if they applied themselves in those sports.

PS I remember some sports historians mentioning that was the reason why White boxers dried up at the world class level in divisions above these divisions but to the average DWF that reference was never taken seriously but with the dearth of Black fighters at the world class level in the heavier weight classes this mantra is gospel.

blacks arent prominent in middleweight or super middleweight either and those guys would be too small to do NFL or NBA. I wonder what their excuse would be if you told them that

Yes it's a slow week and a ESPN card goes up against an NHL final game so ratings will be even lower for the featherweight title bout. On Saturday afternoon Cash is in a do or die European title bout and if he wins he will probably look for an opportunity at the world level. Also Irish prospect Crocker is an action again in his last fight he destroyed undersized but tough nut Felix Jose. He will have a litmus test to see if the Jose win was more a weight bully win or he is a dangerous prospect who has world level power.

Also the Ryan Garcia drama seems to have come to an end and Garcia was suspended for a year and lost his guaranteed purse of 1.2 million US but must forfeit it to his promoter not Haney(a strange decision to say the least). Supposedly the NYAC was prepared to throw the book at Garcia and give him a long suspension if he didn't settle on those terms.

Garcia seemed to be holding a high card versus the pat hand of the NYAC so he folded his hand in the high stakes negotiations. https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_...rcia-following-one-year-ped-suspension-boxing

While I do agree most middleweights and supermiddleweights would be too small for the big 4 major leagues, elite talents could make rosters and even star in the leagues. Wayne Gretzky was 160 pounds soaking wet without a weight cut as young player and filled out 170 pounds as a veteran. Alan Iverson was similar to Gretzky weight wise and didn't do the same water cut both are legends in their sports with Gretzky in GOAT conversation with maybe 2 other players in his sport.
