But am still curious why Pacman/Raheem didnt happen after Raheem beat Morales in a 12round shutout.

Pacquao avoided Zaheer Raheem,Joan Guzman who is in a sense is African American cause he`s of African descent and he`s from the Dominican Republic which is located in North America,Pac also went for the easiest belthhoder David Diaz or whatever his name is instead of fighting Nate Campbell who was not only arguably the best Lightweight,but had three belts.
If Mayweather Avoided those fights you would never hear the end of it.
Pacquiao is just an opportunist for the most part.He mostly fought fighters with a name when they where going down hill or downhill,or fighters he knows he can beat.
guzman didn't become one of the top guys at 130 'til AFTER barrera , marquez , pacquiao and morales all left 130.
diaz fight was barely 3 months after nate beat diaz. the diaz fight was planned since before pac-marquez 2. that's why they showcased diaz on the undercard of pac-marquez 2. diaz was actually ranked above nate 'til nate beat diaz. diaz had a win over top ranked santa cruz. nate's best win before juan was kid diamond.
you guys have no idea what was going at the time these fights happened.

This is the second time an article like this came off this website. lol Did some angry Ricky Hatton fan write this one though, or what?
Paq doesn't avoid african american fighters, Roach just avoids ANY real fighters in general for Manny. If Roach can't find Manny a handicap in a bout, Roach won't put him in the ring. But I bet you anything Manny would fight anyone. But at the same time it's not like Manny is gonna start callin out the best, lol the dude probably has the all time easiest run to the top of the p4p rankings. Why make it harder on yourself? Look at his last 3 fights, David Diaz, a zombie De La Hoya, and Ricky Hatton. Now he fought Ricky at his best weight when Ricky still had some gas left, lol but Ricky is garbage. That guy gets rocked everytime he steps in the ring, p4p the easiest guy to hit. So Paq doesn't avoid black fighters, his people just steer him away from any real threats.

genaro , gatti and baldomir were all 2-4 years older than barrera , marquez and morales when pacquiao first fought them.
they were around castillo's age when he fought floyd. 29-30 range.
pacquiao beat hatton and delahoya a little over a year after mayweather beat them as well.
