Bob Arum Response to Dan Rafael Question

[mikemurni]

Shane should fight Berto at 147 to establish his name back as the #3 fighter at WW. After that he can take on Pac...

Winner of the Alexander/Bradley should be explored.

These guys should be given the chance for the big
fight. Aging Shane Mosley is a waste of effort and
time. Should be crossed out from the list.

A number of posters, myself included, have pointed out that Manny hasn't fought a certain type of boxer. When we do we are called racists. fcastro1, augustus, pistol whip, brick wall, all quality posters responded very strongly to me when I posted that top rank didn't match manny against a certain type of fighter. Months later, Bob acknowledges the very same thing that I and others pointed out and points out future marketing benefits from doing so.

Perhaps next time this subject comes up lets have intelligent debate rather than name calling and race baiting.

But in fairness Dunn,to say that Ya'll have said a certain type of boxer isn't really accurate!!When that comparison is brought up,I've heard it more along the lines of Slick,Black American fighters!!It would have served better if ya'll just said slick fighters,for example:Yuri Foreman who was supposedly too big for Pacman,but was also viewed as a slick fighter!!Because team Pacman did avoid him,but the far less greater fighter (Miguel Cotto)went on to take the title from the champ,go figure huh??
