Has Pacquiao Avoided Fighting African Americans?

[STAB]

This is a controversial topic, but the writer makes a valid point.

Black fighter's are commonly thought of as slick, fast boxers.

Freddie Roach has gone on record saying that Pacquiao does not match-up well against slick, counter-punchers.

Manny shines when matched against a stationary target.

I don't know if Pac Man has purposely ducked Black boxers, but I do know that his team isn't too eager to put him against a quick, defensive opponent ie. the stereotype of an African American fighter.

are you saying barrera, marquez, morales, etc... are not slick enough? not defensive enough? not quick enough?

Everybody knew DLH would try to walk down PAC (just didnt count on Oscar being drained). So we knew PAC would be able to hit him. Nate wasnt going to dance around the ring but he would give PAC fits because he fights from diffferent angles and not just come foward.

yes. but dlh was still the bigger risk of the two. (not to mention the bigger pay day) plus with the mexican assasin gimick, its easier to sell.

pac>floyd............

resume wise. legacy wise. higher on the atg.

and i think it pisses you off. and your fellow floyd stans. pac doesnt need to dance like a ***. or do these talk shows. or make it "rain". people recognize him cause what he's done in the ring. not the **** he pulls outside of it.

Unique..well said and that's a very good point. No he is not saying that Barrera, Morales or Marquez is not slick enough, defensive enough and not quick enough. It is what it is. They were not slick enough. When Barrera got beaten by Junior Jones Barrera wanted to be a boxer. Raheem beating Morales. It is what it is. Nothing racial just facts.

floyd is jealous of pac. that's why he discredit him. pac on the other hand couldn't give a ****. he even said floyd was a torch bearer of the sport.

pac is class. floyd is crap

You got to watch the way he throws his shots,a lot of them are wide.You cant do that against a good boxer like Floyd.Even JMM was catching Manny.Also Manny just comes in straight at you,against the likes of Floyd he will be cannon fodder.I can guarantee you that fight wont go the distance,I'l bet all the points I got.

Manny knows his weaknesses that's why he fights Mexicans.No disrespect but Mexicans are in your face fighters from a young age.Black boxers mainly come from the old school,they hit and dont like getting hit,they are more athletic,they have movement and good defence.Check even Tyson used to duck shots,Mosley ducks shots,he moves and he punches but still has power.

The first reaction Roach gave when confronted with the Mayweather
question,he said Floyd would make an ugly fight because he's so slick.

Styles make fights and should Manny decide to fight a black fighter he will be knocked out.

Horrible post. What a weird train of thought you have. Start with this, PAC's best punch is the straight left. 2- his defense is excellent. His rhythm and in and out movement is very impressive, probablyvthe best in boxing. Manny steward creams over it every time he calls a PAC fight.

I love it- black fighter duck shots! Wow, they are so smart those black fighters.

I don't think Pacquiao avoided black fighters, he is just fighting what promoters are bringing...]

But now i think Guzman would be a very tough challenge for Pacquiao. His style would give Pacquiao hell!!!

Floyd has not discredit Manny, what are you talking about? All he said was that you guys give Manny credit for beating the guys I have already beaten..(De la hoya, Hatton) How is he jealous when Manny doesn't come close to the skills that Floyd possess. This is like when Larry Holmes was fighting Gerry Cooney and everyone was giving Cooney all this praise like he was a great fighter and Holmes EXPOSED HIM! The same way Floyd is going to expose Manny
