Has Pacquiao Avoided Fighting African Americans?

[johnle43]

this is a ****** article... i would think that morales, barrera, hatton, and marquez having MORE OF A FANBASE probably played a part in who he's faced. weak read.

[DonTaseMeBrah]

So a lot of posters defend this article by saying it doesnt matter if they are "african american" or not. Pacquiao hasnt fought a "black skinned" fighter who is slick.


June 23, 2001, Las Vegas
Manny Pacquiao vs Lehnolo Ledwaba (33-1)

Pacquiao tko round 6

South African, really black skinned. Makes ***embe Mutombo skin look like matthew hatton. 2 weeks notice for Pacquiao.

November 10, 2001, San Francisco
Manny Pacquiao vs Agapito Sanchez (31-9)

Technical Draw

Agapito if u havent seen him is a very slick & dirty fighter who ruthlessly fouled Pacquiao in that fight. Agapito is dominican, black skinned. Just like his fellow contry man joan gumzan.

June 8, 2002, Tennesse
Manny Pacquiao vs Jorge Eliecer Julio (44-3)

Pacquiao TKO 2

Julio is from colombia, also a "black skinned" fighter. undercard fight during the mike tyson vs lennox lewis fight in memphis tennesse.


Thats three straight fights vs black skinned fighters w/ one fighter agapito sanchez (rip) who was very slick.


How exactly does Pacquiao avoid/ never fought "black skinned" fighters who are slick?

Reminds me of Juan Manuel Marquez fans who say Pacquiao is ducking Marquez when he has already gone 24 rounds inside the ring with him while knocking him down 4x & has a draw & a win against him.

They are trying real hard to find some flaw or discredit a once in a lifetime fighter, our time, our eras roberto duran. When Pacquiao retires from the fight game & you guys are left with "slick-black skinned fighters" & time has passed by,

Only then, after your hate & blindness in defense of other fighters have wore off will u realize how privileged u were to actually see a true legendary figther in Manny Pacquiao.

what are you talking about! U hate to hear that others think that Manny is trash

Naw, your posts are fake or you are just trying to piss people off. You are a joke. You can argue that jmm or floyd or whoever is better than manny but to say he's trash is just ludy cris. Trash is henry bruseles or your posts.

I NEVER said it helped his case. I said in hindsight it would have been better to fight harder in the latter rounds. But, Guzman in his mind I'm sure was thinking to secure the victory, as he had a verbal agreement that if he WON the fight, he would get a shot at Pac.

Different of opinion I suppose. He made Soto miss by a lot and often. Soto landed around 20% of his punches, Guzman landed around 40% or so.

He was doin **** like that the entire fight. And see when guzman was against the ropes? Blocking all those body shots, shoulder roll.





his face was a tiny bit puffy after the first round. Lennox lewis even commented on it saying how he even would get puffy after the first round or two. It wasn't swollen.



Find the stats. Soto had a very low percentage and guzman was much higher. Same **** Mayweather does to win fights.

That is true, Guzman did land the higher percentage of shots, but Soto landed the harder shots and was never hurt in the fight. The decision was fair though, I'm not complaining about that. It's just not this schooling that people make it out to be. Soto made that fight competitive in a lot of the rounds. I wish Arum would get Soto a big fight too and not give him the Clottey treatment. He's another guy Pacquiao should have fought even though he's not characterized as a slick fighter. He would have posed a bigger challenge than Oscar and Barrera the second time. He's the opponent that Arum was talking about matching Pac up with and turned around and made those fights instead. Manny probably would have beaten him though.
