Comments Thread For: Hopkins: "When Will Pacquiao Face a Top Black Fighter?"

[waxfondler]

oh, i LOVE how black people scream racism....
but when floyd released a RACIST video, black people claim its "culturally insensitive"... splendid

clearly b-hop is trying to get shane a fight... funny thing is shane doesnt resemble the "african american fighter" mold... shane personifies more of a mexican fighter mold... even clottey is more slick than shane.

b-hop is one of my faves but the dude says some dumb ****...
he needs to hang with brother ****m more, at least that guy gives respect due.
i want to hear what naz thinks about putting shane with pac, especially after the floyd & mora fight....

yes, shane is STILL quick... but his reflexes and reaction time is gone. if shane wants a fight so bad, he can petition for the martinez/williams winner. LOL

Koncz says they'd fight a guy with a following, economically feasable, I wasn't aware that Clottey had a PPV following and was a big money fight. Yet he got a fight with Pacquiao. Maybe it has more to do with the fact he doesn't throw punches and is with Top Rank.

Hopkins didn't say anything about Shane so stop assuming hes somehow promoting. Maybe he's saying exactly what he said, Team Pac avoids African American fighters!

Bhop is dumb or trying to get a payday for him or his boy shane. What has pacs team been trying to do for the past year? theyve been trying to get a fight with THE BEST black fighter out there. so i don't know what hes talking about. besides right now floyd is the only black fighter with a big following. any other black fighters really don't have that kind of following. besides as ****y as these young fighters like berto, bradley and alexander are, getting a beating from pac is a good possibility so it could make em puss out like ortiz did against maidana.

I don't think Pac's opponent selection has anything to do with race, but it has a lot to do with style. He did fight Clottey. They don't put Pac in with slick fighters because he has trouble with them (Marquez). They put Pac in with action fighters who are there to be hit, and guys that are slow on their feet.

If this was about economics, like they say, then why the hell did he fight David Diaz and Joshua Clottey? This is all about who Pac can look best against in the ring. They could have Pac fight a homeless man, and it would still make millions.

Well said.

didn't ask you.

go troll someone else.

don't care about you.

haha..good one. i'm starting to believe that guy is the guy crying in youtube...haha

Besides Mayweather, who are these "black fighters" Pacquiao needs to face who pose a challenge?

You Mayweather fans are a trip lol. For years you guys get harassed by Floyd haters about his level of opposition. In comes Pacquiao, a dude literally fighting at Jr Lightweight 2 years ago now beating guys like Cotto and Margarito who were seasoned Welterweights, 2 guys Floyd genuinely never expressed interest in fighting. So now, the argument becomes "Pacquiao doesn't fight top black fighters".

Hilarious how things turn out sometimes lol.

[DrewWoodside]

The rice fluffer makes a decent point. Not too many Afro Ameican fighters that can draw are with Top Rank!

He's probably trying to put his good friend Shane Mosley in better position for a Pacquiao shot. However Mosley isn't that slick.. Just black.

i'll say it one more time.

david diaz and joshua clottey makes pac and arum more money.

since they're top rank arum gets paid from both sides. since arum is getting money from both sides , he can pay pac more also.

not an excuse. don't care. not saying it's right.

but i'm explaining it to those who don't understand.
