Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins: Black Fighters, We Are Built Differently

Your words not mine.

The measures of baseline athleticism.


My words.

And in another post, i said speed is a MAJOR component of athleticism.

And in another post, i said the sprint is the "purest" test of athleticism.

AGAIN, at no time did I say it was the WHOLE of athleticism.

Do you understand the difference? can you?

[Michael Hall]

is that on grass with pads on?

that is how the game is played

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH I get it.

Troy Polamalu is faster than Mike Vick with PADS on. But Vick is faster without pads?

I get it now.

NOT!

ANOTHER FAIL FOR YOU!

So your point is that if it were available in the inner city then african americans would dominate it?

im not saying that. im saying ur argument is flawed. its easy to mention a sport that african americans dont dominate at if that sport has almost not african americans who even play it.

Troy isn't even the fastest SAFETY in the NFL. LOL!

[djtmal]

and how to possibly be the greatest fighter of all time.

[Michael Hall]

He has a better claim to it then any other fighter fighting today.

It's as simple as this:

There are differences among the "races" (actually, regional origin). Ask any anthropologist. That is why there are specific diseases, ailments, etc that affect certain groups. Or why certain groups are predisposed to certain conditions.

Whites and Asians are more likely to get osteosporosis. ***s are more likely to get Tay-sachs. Blacks get sickle cell. Etc. Filipinos have micro-**** syndrome.

It is not racist to recognize the obvious biological/anatomical differences based on where your ancestors originated. And some of those differences translate into genetic performance.

Ever see the Ethiopian or Kenyan runners? Those guys are just built differently than everyone else.

How would u consider lance armstrong as an athlete since you can't really test his speed?you can only test his speed on a bike.don't get me wrong i agree w/u that lance armstrong is an athlete.but just according to you...you can't measure the major component of athleticism.So do you consider the OL and DL in the NFL athletic since speed is a major component b/c most of them are strength and skill and technique.And that's 10 players out of the 22 that are on the field.

True.

But if he keeps coming out with this stuff he might as well hit the books. Otherwise, he just sounds like a racist moron.

I only studied it a tiny bit at university but there is heaps of stuff out there, but it's a can of worms. Hopkins is a little bit racist so I doubt he cares about that.

There is evidence to suggest that runners from East Africa need far less oxygen for their muscles than white europeans europeans (Swedish athletes) and as such would get fatigued less.

please man...he might pick up the latest pimp bible, but can you imagine hopkins seriously studying aa history/genetics or european civilization? we not exactly talking about malcolm x here....
