Has Pacquiao Avoided Fighting African Americans?

[gopi11]

Shane tried to say he sold Staples out but clealry
it was Margarito's fans. Once a boxer/fighter becomes
a huge star priorities start to change because you
made it. Manny Pacquiao/Floyd Mayweather Jr has
to happen because their both HUGE stars and would
look great on each others resume's.

The fight could have been made if Floyd decided a day later. In a way, I'm glad he took the Marquez fight, I don't want to hear the word "Ring rust" added to the already long list of excuses every time Pacman wins. Same with Pacquiao's camp, I don't want to hear them say that Floyd is just too big, or use that catch-weight bs again...

Yes he is, He has more pop in his punches, better footwork and faster hands. He goes in for the kill. Floyd runs and pot shots. The reason pacquiao is more exciting is because he showcases his skills throughout the entire fight which is what floyd is reluctant to do

Pac has no defense and is subject to the counter punch. He is pure
speed and aggression while Floyd is a patient thinker and picks his
shots and can fight offensive and defensively EQUALLY and has
great speed. Pacquiao is most def very exciting but going in for the
kill can get you KO'd against the wrong guy. Pacquiao is very good
but technical and fundementally, he is not better than Floyd.

Why didn't you just say the N word! Listen how ignorant you sounds. You think Floyd will win but Manny is better?? How dumb are you man. I liked Gatti and he was exciting as well. But he wasn't better. It's okay say how you feel. This is therapy for you just use the N word like you wanted too

youre a fool man. ive been called a n***** lover here for saying calzaghe is crap. and that prime jones would ktfo his slapping ass.

pac's better for boxing in my perspective cause he delivers what the fans want. not some gay-ass dancing or some pansy ass wrestling crap to get the media to pay attention to him. or announce his retirement in the biggest fight of the year. or talk about being the greatest boxer ever without knowing crap what the likes of ali or robinson have done.

i don't care if your black white whatever. idiots come in all races. his fans come here on some kind off agenda that this race is ****ing better than this race.

and pac avoiding black fighters is so ****ing idiotic, its not the racist part that piss me off its the damn idiocy

[BillyBoxing]

Lets get it right, Pac maybe more exciting and has a worldwide
appeal but he is not a better boxer than Floyd Mayweather Jr.

He's definitely a better boxer than Mayweather.
With a better record.Manny has the two Floyd's best wins(Hatton,DLH)on his record AND THIS IN A BETTER FASHION.
Problem:Manny has 6 better wins than those two wins(Morales,barrera,marquez wins...).

Don't compare Manny with your babble boy.
And if Floyd beats Manny,it's just a natural junior lightweight who beats a natural flightweight.
If Floyd beats Marquez,it's a welterweight who beats a lightweight.No props...
If he beats Marquez at 135,HUGE PROPS,but Floyd can't cuz he's a welter for real now,but still avoids the WW top 5.FRAUDULENT

Aside from the thirty pages of this post, when I first heard JDJ say that awhile back I have to admit, I kinda felt the same way. (And I'm a fan of Pacquiao.)

Guzman isn't Black? Are you serious?

You don't have to be American to be considered Black.

Guzman is just as black as anyone else here in the USA. He just comes from a different country. Latins have mixtures of Africans as well, so those with african heritages and of appropriate skin are black.

****, I'm Puerto Rican and dark as ****. I have african heritage. Guess what, I'm ****ing black. When I fill out those census documents, my race isn't white; it's black and my ethnicity is PuertoRican.

I'm here in Peru for work, and there is a segment of the population that are blacker than anyone I've ever seen in my life. Just as black as people from the homeland. And they are black. Simple as that.

So you can call it what you want, Black American-African American, Black Dominican-African Dominican or whatever. The only difference is the country your from.

And in regards to this article...it was mildly contradicting but the truth is, there was really nobody viable for Manny to KTFO during his reigns there. He fought better comp with MAB, Morales and so forth and so on. He's now in a realm where Mayweather Jr resides. And provided that May wins in July, all indications are that they are throwing down. And since May is the best there is; it would make all arguments null.

I totally agree.

[BillyBoxing]

Since when you need to beat Afro Americans to be the best P4P??I thought the best low divisions fighters were latinos.

Raheem wasn't the best tough he beats Morales,it was just an upset.Raheem get his career stopped after.Pacquiao woulda too.
Pacquiao coulda fight Guzman but there were more big fights for the Pac Man.

Campbell is a clown,koed twice by Peden,an aussie paper champ,so,no he didn't avoid black fighters and he's fightin the bests.
Raheem,Campbell,Guzman,those guys are black fighters but AREN'T GREAT FIGHTERS and this is the only reason why they didn't fight the pac man.

agree with most of your post. but i missed the part where floyd being black has to do with him beating pac.

Hey man, Floyd is undefeated through 5 divisions and has NEVER been
KO'd and was champ for 10 YEARS. Floyd style is a better boxing style
to win fights than Manny's and if you can't see that then it's not about
boxing.

Did he even try when writing this article??? Did he just copy the artcles from the last month??? The point really is moot because there is NO WAY that Floyd v PAC isn't going to happen. This is a 20mil per fighter type of fight so why waste our time Matteo. This guy has written like 3 or the worst articles I have ever read. What's up with the random paragraphs at the end? They go nowhere?
Bottom line, manny wins, he's prob top 20 all time, floyd wins and beats a legit ww or two and he's top 20 all time. I cant wait to see what happens after this jmm joke fight.
