Greatest Black Fighters Thread by Nobody: 7:43pm On May 05, 2013 |
I'm very into MMA,Martial Arts and boxing. After school when I was in high school...I would always go to fight clubs..I know I'm an idiot. My favorite boxer is Floyd Mayweather jr. and my favorite MMA fighter is Anderson Silva. Anyways I've created this thread as a tribute to the greatest Black fighters whether they be from MMA or boxing. If you're a fan of UFC or boxing then please contribute. Also this thread is also to celebrate the many different fighting styles that were made by black people themselves.

as jones said it himself, he has a long way to go before he can dream of being as great as his idol ANDERSON SILVA. Mayweather is the current greatest boxer but Mohamed Ali and Mike Tyson sure were as great, if not greater fighter (IMHO). Mayweather doesnt knock out opponents liks Tyson used to at his best. |

MRbrownJAY: as jones said it himself, he has a long way to go before he can dream of being as great as his idol ANDERSON SILVA.Agreed. But I wish him luck. MRbrownJAY: Agreed again. Did you see his recent fight with Guerrero? |

KidStranglehold: I believe that ANDERSON SILVA is the greatest fighter ever, no question asked! a JONES/SILVA fight would definitely be something else! Agreed again. Did you see his recent fight with Guerrero? although he controlled this low risk fight, he is NOT as good as some of our earlier top fighters that would not let a man stand 12 rounds. Mayweather has too many fights that goes the distance. |

supposedly Mayweather's next (low ranked) opponent in September: Amir Khan, Danny Garcia or Victor Ortiz (which he already knocked out)....while he should instead fight Marquez who knocked out the guy that Mayweather has been dodging for as long as we can remember, Pacquiao! as for Jones, many think his height is an advantage, and we all know that Silva is just as big if not even bigger than him. |

Mayweather vs Marquez would be an awesome fight! |

KidStranglehold: sadly, Mayweather is about making money and retiring undefeated, so that match may not happen anytime soon. |
Re: Greatest Black Fighters Thread by Nobody: 8:21pm On May 05, 2013 |
MRbrownJAY: Yeah, wish it could have happened. |

somalia5: Too bad these so called black fighters didnt prevent white people from enslaving you guys. LMAO!!! You Somalis were colonized by the Italians and British. My people were NEVER ENSLAVED...My people were a part of one of the bloodiest revolution in human history. My people did this. ^^^I see no enslaving there... Now this deserves the Billy Dee stamp of approval. |

KidStranglehold: technically its an occupation since the british and italians came to somalia in the 1900's.......no one was colonizing anyone in the 1900's. we were kicking portugese buttts in 1490's...mean while you guys were selling each other to whites....lol |

yuzedo: Great thread, yo! Kimbo Slice had so much potentials as a street fighter, but the minute he fooled himself and entered the octagon, he failed miserably. the best place for him to go crawl back to is the internet street fight. what a shame his debut fight was! 1 Like |
