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

As far as Cotto-Clottey goes, I think Cotto will win. But it will be a rough fight for both guys.

Originally posted by Dunkeroo23 View PostFirst 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
