Yeah he didn't exactly say it was white trash, but when you say MMA is for beer drinkers and then say white people had to make the sport to be able to fight competitively it's implying the same thing; white beer drinkers in their mobile homes heehawing it up for the white boy victory; that's how I see it. Either way it shouldn't have been said. And, last time I looked, the whitey's from Russia were dominatin the HW division. Not that I'm bragging that up

Like I said; got all the respect for his talents; never once have I said he wasn't an amazing talent if not the most talened fighter I have seen. LOL'd when he made Hatton pinball off the ring post; put a bag over my head when he destroyed Gatti I just think he should shut his mouth; he's not talented in that area like he is in the ring. But he won't and that's fine; he can say whatever he wants. I can appreciate the art without appreciating the artist.
He definitely should allow doing interviews, he seems way too easily riled & sadly does the thing too many young men do & let's his mouth get about 2 minutes ahead of where his brain is at. It's actually odd that he's far more eloquent after a fight where he's taken punches to the head & done something unbelievably physically draining. Maybe someone should hit him over the back of the head with a tennis racket just after each question is asked & he'll be like Gandhi

I still don't think he meant it like that, it's his usual 'I don't like that question so I'm going to let my mouth go whilst my brain takes a cigarette break' but it does give him these ridiculous quotes. I know I shouldn't have laughed at the bolded bit, but I got this mental image of the guys from Deliverance sitting with Cletus from Simpsons & couldn't help myself. I've had a pretty crap last couple of weeks, so thanks for that sentence its made me laugh more than anything.

It says something pretty bad about the HW division, when I actually totally forgot about the fighters there, I actually did a mental check & was thinking about the likes of Kessler & Pavlik but the Bros. Klit evaded.

Of course if you believe Lefty, Haye is going to destroy Vitali in the opening 10 seconds before Wlad vacates & hides in a cave in Afghanistan with Osama to avoid him, & then yeah Black Boys back on top! Woooh yeaaah!

Although again that's what Lefty tells me
