This black boy seems very arrogant.
If I was like forty years younger, and could box really good, I'd knock him down a few pegs.
By God, I would.

Devin Haney, a 21-year-old world boxing champion, said this week he'd "never let a white boy" beat him.
Haney competes in a wildly-competitive 135-pound weight class, a division in which Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia, Teofimo Lopez, and Vasyl Lomachenko also campaign in.
On a possible showdown with Lomachenko, Haney said: "Fight a white boy 10 times, I'm gonna beat him 10 times."
The comments are similar in tone to Bernard Hopkins' notorious statement to Joe Calzaghe ahead of their 2008 bout, which Calzaghe, who is white, comfortably won.
A 21-year-old American boxer likened to Floyd Mayweather said he'd "never let a white boy" beat him.
WBC lightweight champion Devin Haney made the comments during a 78SportsTV live stream on YouTube which involved a fan-led Q&A.
Haney competes in the wildly-competitive 135-pound weight class, a division in which undefeated fighters Gervonta "Tank" Davis, Ryan Garcia, and Teofimo Lopez all campaign in.
Vasyl Lomachenko, one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time and a technically-adept pro, is regarded as the best lightweight fighter in the world today, according to Boxrec, The Ring magazine, and Boxing News.
Commenting on a potential Lomachenko fight, Haney said: "I'll tell you this, I'll never lose to a white boy in my life. I don't care what nobody got to say. Ain't no white boy who can beat me any day of the week.
"Fight a white boy 10 times, I'm gonna beat him 10 times," Haney said.
Haney's comments are similar in tone to a statement Bernard Hopkins made in 2007 ahead of an eventual fight with the British light heavyweight Joe Calzaghe.
In 2007, Hopkins told Calzaghe: "You're not even in my league."
The long-reigning former middleweight champion added: "I would never let a white boy beat me. I would never lose to a white boy. I couldn't go back to the projects if I let a white boy beat me."
Calzaghe, who is white, beat Hopkins in 2008, landing more punches on the American than any opponent had at that point.
Gotta keep up with the times, and remember that.
Although I do seem to remember something about pride going before a fall ...
It’s always okay for blacks to treat whites like sh*t. Calling a grown man white boy. If the shoe was on the other foot it would be a huge news story.
Yeah, well where’s a klitschko when you need ‘em?
I know I know... They were heavy weights but still.

” I don’t care what nobody got to say. Ain’t no white boy who can beat me any day of the week.”
Very articulate and well spoken. He’ll have a bright future. /sarc
This punk ought to be forced to get into the ring with Tyson Fury.
He’s more articulate than Joe Biden. Maybe he can be a senator!?
He is still very young. People change. Egos too.
I have no problem with this fellow. He’s a boxer. You have to be a certain kind of crazy to be a boxer. The thing is, once the bell goes off, there’s nobody in the ring except you and your opponent and the referee. Ditto track and field at the Olympics. If West Africans and their diaspora dominant the short distances, that’s the way it is. If the members of any group have an edge in any particular area, guess what, we are the Americans. We have some of them. If the Asian are better at math, we have some of that too. Check it out:

It’s just the fight bidness. Talking smack promotes the bouts.
And we are all fortunate of that.
frigging racist twerp.

Well, good luck with that. You do realize it looks worse if you brag first, and then still get beat, right? You better be pretty confident you can pull it off, plus wearing a sign that says to any competent white fighter “Please do your best to beat the crap out of me”
This thread is doomed.
Typical black racist and not a single leftist condemning such a blatant racist statement.

Will he get the Kyle Larson treatment?
