There Is Some Racism Going On Favored Towards Heavyweights

Post by bnovelist »

For example, Thurman has improved his game and is now the unified champ but Florida wont be throwing him a parade. Keith Thurman deserves

to have a parade in honor for him whether you like him or not. If he weighed 220lbs they'd name a street after him and have a parade in his

honor. Ali had dozens of parades, Holyfield, Douglas, Bowe, etc...Even till this day there is some deep rooted racism against the smaller fighters.

Fighters under a certain weight, say under 125 lbs., should be classified as pets.
