Pacquiao finally beat a black

[caveez]

torii hunter would scream that clottey is an imposter and not a real black fighter from the streets of chicago. terrible i know but probably true.

Why bring race into this. People said Pacquiao never beat a SLICK African American type style fighter (a la a Mayweather, Hopkins, Whitaker type), which I see as being ridiculous. However, I doubt Pacquiao beats Mayweather.

what he said....

Some people just so happen to appreciate pure Boxing skills.

And if there were enough of those people to sell tickets and ppv, then Pacquiao would be up against more slick boxers.

I'm sorry but you're the minority. Race isn't a factor here, it's all about dollar signs.

It's not that fighter are magically better because their black. It's just that Pac. hasn't fought a mobile, slick boxer. Had Spadafora been at lightweight when Pac. was, Pac. would have preferred David Diaz probably.

and pure boxing skills are nice, but those fights can't compare to the pure adrenaline rush of watching a fight break out, and you and everybody in the room jumping and screaming when there's a knockdown..

Watching pacquiao's last 3 fights was just electric.. but I just can't picture that against a slick boxer, and I didn't feel it last night after the 3rd round.
