Why does Manny always fight Mexicans but never any black fighters?

[Da Hammer]

Umm why doesnt he fight european fighters (apart from his upcoming fight with hatton)??? Why doesnt he fight South American fighters??? Why doesnt he fight asian fighters??? This is a ****** thread!!! Ever considered that the answer lies in that mexicans fighters usually dominate the lower weights classes??? I mean its only been this way basically for the last 50 years.........

How much more black can you get than Ledwaba --- an African?

Maybe he's referring to a black american.. LOL

First off no disrespect to Manny, and im not tryna be controversial, but just wanted to talk about an interesting trend. THIRTEEN of his last 14 fights have been against Mexicans or fighters of Mexican descent. In fact, Hatton will be the first non Mexican he has faced in his last ELEVEN fights. Correct me if im wrong, but in Manny's 53 pro fights, not a SINGLE one has come against a black fighter. That is pretty amazing

When Manny moved up to 135, he could have fought anyone, yet he chose David Diaz? Why didn't he fight Casamayor, who was the lineal champ, or Nate Campbell, who held 3 belts.

Then Manny moves up to 147 to fight Oscar, but no one can blame him for that since it is Oscar after all.

But after he defeated Oscar, he stated that he would eventually like to face Antonio Margarito. Yet when Mosley dominates Margarito, Manny has no interest whatsoever in fighting Mosley. Now there is even talk of him facing JCC Jr. down the line. And the pacquaio camp said they were not to excited to face Floyd Mayweather. While I know this is all talk, the point is, why does every potential fighter or fighter that Manny is interested in seem to be Mexican? After all, he is known as the Mexicutioner

So what are your thoughts, do you think there's a reason for this? (Maybe from a style standpoint and the whole brawler/boxer thing). Or is it just a mere coincidence? He's certainly had opportunities, and I don't think you can brush this off as a mere coincidence

well there arent many black fighters in the lower weights, where manny has spent alot of his career

and theres tons of mexicans in those divisions, its not so amazing

i suppose now hes at a higher weight he might fight floyd just to please you

because mayweather is the only one who has a big black name close to pac's weight though he is retired.

Agreed. They`re gonna kill you if you post this thread at harlem walls.

most of the names you guys mention arent even black lol, maybe like 10%. like jorge julio, i mean his name is jorge for cryin out loud lol.

What's his name got to do with it? Are you saying Joe Frazier and Mohammad Ali aren't black because they don't have African names? Julio looks just as black as either of them do. Weird post.

This whole topic reeks of racism. I don't like this topic at all... Shameful topic

Africans from Africa got waaaaaay more heart than African Americans.

Like who??? Clottey who stopped throwing after he hurt his knuckles against Margarito
Nelson who lost to Sanchez
Ike

azumah nelson is way greater than junior jones...

Nelson is greater than Roy Jonbes Jr

He is not greater than PBF Hopkins RJJ Toney Holyfield and so on

sure,zab judah is way way better than josh clottey!another ignorant SOB

Clottey lost to Margarito. Williams and Mosley beat that cheat easily
