"Tell me one African-American fighter he (Pacquiao) fought" --Nate Campbell

[Bhopreign]

few gave pacquiao a chance against delahoya.

Not true..........

[egreezy]

This is bull**** and beginning to piss me off, the race of a fighter doesn't matter... I mean I would understand if they were being discriminated against but they aren't and this isn't what they are saying... they are saying Pacquiao hasn't fought an African American fighter cause he is scared of them? Why would he be scared of them? Because they are African American, that is bull****.

The race of a fighter doesn't matter, to build a champion it is about working hard in the gym and attempting to perfect all of your flaws... working hard in the gym and dedicating yourself... any of this "He hasn't fought an African American fighter" stuff is a load of crap.

My interpretation is that it wasn't fear the reason but matchmaking purposes.

revisionist view.

no one thought oscar would look so incompetent nor that hatton would go down so easily.

few gave pacquiao a chance against delahoya and even hatton.

i'm sorry but i don't think campbell , diaz or casamayor at 135 puts up much of a fight against pacquiao.

Nobody thought Oscar would have problems fighting @147 for the first time in 10 years? Good amount of people had an idea the fight could be short because of their power and lack of defense. Even Kellerman before the fight said this could last only 3-4 rounds like Hagler/Hearns.

It has been in recent articles when they are trying to imply it... whatever it doesn't matter, I can't see what difference it makes, why does it matter so much that he hasn't fought an African American? Seriously, does the race of the fighter some how change there skill making it a step up or something?

Not true..........

dude , even i thought oscar would knock off manny's head.

most thought the fight was a joke.

[WhoreUs]

That made me sick and it isn't dead, no where near.

yes. cory spinks and bernard hopkins is keeping it alive.

Not true and I have facts to prove otherwise.

[WhoreUs]

Not true and I have facts to prove otherwise.

facts to prove what?

man , even the guys picking pacquiao over oscar was wishful thinkers. like me.

[Spacey1991]

who could he have fought at 122-130 that was so-called slick?

please......

just root for him to beat cotto.

he'll fight floyd next year. fighting floyd once at 147 is worth 50 fights against all those so-called slick african-american fighters at 122-130.




slick african-american fighters. lmfao

boring , unskilled chicken **** fighters not good enough to through combos and scared to fight so they popshot and run around.

thank god african-american boxing is dead.

This is not a reason to start hating on slick defensive Boxers, come on now...

[-Antonio-]

I'm so tired of these ****** statements. Someone needs to put these guys in their place. THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF GOOD BLACK FIGHTERS IN THE LOWER DIVISIONS. Ledwaba was a very good fighter anway.

Pac hasn't beaten a lot of Eastern Europeans either.

Well I've been betting real money on sports for years and study it. Oscar wasnt even a 2-1 favorite on most sites, that isnt a sure thing. If everybody thought Oscar was going to win he would have been an overwhelming favorite but he wasnt.
