Manny Pacquiao Avoids Black Fighters, Says Jackson

[Dave Rado]

Admit to what, that you make up what you read, thats your problem, go back and read the hole thing, cause if you just read that one part okay i can see were im a racist, but if you did read the hole article and missed the point, they dont dominate anymore, then your ******. Look at the heavywieght and middlewieght divisions, they were dominated by them in the 90's and before that, look at it now.,

I didn't disagree that they don't dominate the sport, I just said your statement that there are no good black fighters any more was racist, which is true, that was a ridiculous thing to say. If you didn't mean it, you should just admit it was a mistake.

Hopkins is an ATG, Mosley and Winky are sure-fire hall of famers, Williams is probably going to be a sure-fire hall of famer, Mayweather (if he comes back, which looks almost certain) is a sure-fire hall of famer and probably an ATG, Dawson looks like he could end up as a hall of famer.

In the Jnr Welterweight division (where Pac is currently fighting), Campbell, Bradley and Witter are all very good fighters.

he'll be more competitive but i don't think he'll last 'til 9 like david did.

Whether he does or not, my real point all along was that he'll be more competitive, which I'm glad you agree with me on (although I would say "a lot more competitive").

Hearns didn't last long against Hagler, but that was one of Hagler's toughest ever fights. How long you last isn't the be all and end all.

pinoys are pretty proud of their tagalog heritage from all the pinoys i've talked with

Most Filipinos are proud of their heritage.

Most Filipinos are proud of their heritage.

Out of all the races I've encountered and known, Filipinos are the most proud. I'm not racist, but some do it to a point of annoyance.

You're speaking of the Pac-maniacs. Those with "flipside" avatars and pics of Pac and the flag in their avatar. Those people are insecure and living their lives through Pacquiao. They want the world to know they are "just like Pacman". It has nothing to do with pride at all, even though it may appear to be that way on the surface.

Behind closed doors, it's a different story. They speak English when doing business transactions, because speaking the native tongue probably means you're not well educated. (racism) They bleach their skin, because if you have darker skin and "slanted eyes", it means you're probably a maid or some type of low class worker. (racism) Buying local made products is frowned upon because it means you can't afford the "foreign" goods. "Pinoy" products are considered low, while "foreign" goods are patronized. (racism)

The TRUE prideful Pinoy's are the ones who only speak English with foreigners only, who buy the local made goods to support their own people. Who after becoming famous, don't drop their accent and pretend they are Filam's.

lol @ guzman not being black, as if blacks only exist in africa and the united states, with everyone else just qualifying as some other magical race.

Guzman is black, infact, it damn near dont get any blacker.

dont listen to that guy

afrikans are in all latin american countries..Im an afrikan who is yoruba but recent ancestry is st lucian and grenada. but mexico..ecuador..honduras..venezuela etc all have AFRIKAn populations..joan guzman is a slave name just like jeff lacy and nate campbell are slave names...calling guzman....miranda...etc anything other than black afrikan you have to be an idiot...and a lot of afro latinos have trouble refering to themselves as afrikan because latin american countries are highly racist against "*******"

Maestro USA is now happy alryt.
...and im happy too....cheers

I mean this article was a lil extra because there are not that
many black fighters in the lower weight classes where Manny came
from but now at 140 there should be no excuse for him not to fight
a black fighter because at 140 & 147 (If Manny fights there) he will
for sure have to. With that said I never try to mix it up like that because
the arguments really makes no sense because everyone fights.
Reading some of the posts of some of you guys has me stratching
me head though......"No dominate Black fighters"? All of the current
black fighters are either champions, good commercial names or prospects.

at 135 Nate Campbell was a unified champ (Until he couldn't make weight), Timothy Bradley is now a unified champ at 140. Shane Mosley at 147, Joshua Clottey, Paul Williams, Winky Wright, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Chad Dawson, Andre Dirrell, David Haye, Daniel Jacobs, Lamont Peterson.......Etc.....All of these guys are good to great fighters and most likely all will be in the HOF or ATG's. Anyways, Jackson sounds a lil salty for some reason but whatever, lets just enjoy the sport and give everyone their props when due.
