Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao's Next Foe Likely a 'Non-Top Rank Fighter'

It won't happen. Freddie refuses to fight someone in the prime of his career. Same with Mayweather.

These two are like little spoiled kids in a toy store.

I actually agree with this. Although I think Pacquiao is holding boxing hostage at this point simply by his demands in negotiations and promo. Mayweather hasn't fought often, yet when he does, boxing fans and casual fans tune in, Mayweather doesn't nearly get the support from boxing or the promotion that Pacquiao gets, and well, he actually prefers fighting at the weight limits.

Like I stated before, should the random testing be agreed to, it makes this fight uneventful and mundane for the legions of Pacquiao fanatics.

May's excuse is he's on vacation because Pac already agreed to drug testing.

Now he has a case excuse.

Just to put this ******ity to rest (I actually counted) 7 african-american title holders (4 main bodies) and I stopped counting the Mexicans at 12, so I don't know how many there actually are

and Im neither black, mexican, or do I care, I just think these race baiting debates dont help anyone

there are 15 mexican title holders...8 american in the main bodies. the results are skewed by the fact that americans dont really compete lower than about 135 lbs because of our larger size. but i stand corrected.

arum needs to tell berto/mosley to fight for the honor of fighting pac. meanwhile, he should fight the winner of bradley/alexander.

Campbell was easily defeated by Bradley, he will not last 2 rounds with the Pacmonster.

Raheem just got lucky with Morales, after that he lost to a nobody, he lost previously to Juarez and even got knock out by Funeka in 4 rounds.

African Americans are not the best anymore. Live with it. Even at heavyweight, no blacks can touch the klitschkos, there is one british black who talks the talks and refuse to fight just like Mayweather.

Huh? Campbell moved up to '40 to fight Bradley and it was ruled a no contest, guy. I'm referring to when Pacquiao moved up when Juan Diaz, Joel Casamayor, and Joan Guzman were champs at '35, but he opted for David Diaz (a brawler who only knows to come forward). There was also Campbell who would eventually beat Diaz to unify to become undisputed champ at '35. There was also Katsidis and Freitas who were in the mix as well.

I don't think Raheem pitching a 12 round shutout is getting lucky, especially considering how one punch can change a fight.

Also, I'm not stating African Americans are the best, you're trying to make me seem bias toward a specific race but I could care less. My point was that Pacquiao never faced the best fighters at each weight class from '30 on up... it just so happens that some of the best fighters at those classes were African-American at the time. Some were Cuban, others Mexican, Dominican, etc... a few common traits among them, they were slick boxers, boxer-punchers, and counter-punchers.

But just for the record, name one African-American fighter Pacquiao has fought, just for the record...?

with that said u guys have 2 great boxers...2.

Hahaha, well, I'm not Filipino, Dempsey. I'm just stating that I think Donaire is the best Filipino boxer in the game. He may not reach the "accomplishments" Pacquiao has but I still think if they fought each other at the same weight, hypothetically, Donaire would have beaten the brakes off Pac.

uhhh there are more african american title hoders thant title holders of any other race...smh. keep up. really tho i dont even look at it as being an african american thing. im classified as being african american but i consider my self american above all else. but with that said, african american have been and continue to be the cornerstone of ameican boxing and american boxing is still the best in the world.

I certainly agree with this because with the rise of MMA, I've seen more Caucasian boxers convert to MMA than African-American fighters. Just plain facts. All that's really left is John Duddy, Andy Lee, and Kelly Pavlik, if he doesn't pull an injury out of the hat.

I think Bradley would be a better fight than Mosley at least. Mosley is so shot it's not even funny.

But, but... but.... this is the crazy thing. They'll get Mosley next. Then Jim Jones Pacquiao followers will hype up Mosley like he's super tough. Pacquiao will win and they'll claim that Pacquiao did it in better fashion than Mayweather and that Mosley was so great.

Well, that's what the trend shows.
