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

[djtmal]

I would just settle for a guy that is more technical. Doesn't
matter if he is black or not but basically somebody that Manny
would have a challenge fighting against. We haven't seen him
against a good boxer sincer Juan Manuel Marquez and we all saw
how that turned out. Haven't seen Pac in with a all around boxer
in a while.

guess you forgot about cotto

I can remember PAC beat 2 African fighters, Ledwaba and Clottey. And to tell you the truth, I don't see any difference in the style of fighting between African and African-American. And what d you mean top Black fighter BHOP? Mayweather or you include Mosley there? FMJ on vacation and Mosley is a Grampa like you. We filipinos respect the elderly, we don't punch them in the face! You're not suggesting Berto.. coz he's Haitian.

If you can't see the difference between African fighters and African American fighters you don't know boxing. Study again son

Joe Louis, Ray robinson, Henry Armstrong, Floyd Patterson, Ali, leanord, Tyson, what do all of them have in common? Argued to be the best of all time..oh and they happen to all be African American..what Bhopal is trying to say is that if you're going to label PAC to be one of the best, first he has to beat someone who emulates the greatest boxers of all time. The definitive description of an African American is one who is a decedent from those brought over from the slave trade. Hundred of years of different societies, breeding, nutrition, and focus divide the cultures and there athletic ability. In order for PAC to be able to say he was the greatest ever, he's gonna have to fight an African American boxer, not an African brawler.

Well said! Finally someone who knows boxing.

yes, pacquiao has to fight a black version of marquez... marquez being a great boxer/counterpuncher doesn't count because he's not black..

racist piece of shit.

what difference does it makes? is african american boxers suppose to be better? Pac havent fought any top rank african american boxer because they whine to much, look at floyd. Mexican boxers doesnt whine, they accept the fight and get it over with.

Its not color its the style. He will no fght a guy who can box him since he was outboxed by JMM.

Yet Williams, Hopkins, Floyd, Shane, dont all have the same style at all.

Its a vast generalisation to group all American black fighters into a boxing style.

Its like grouping Hatton, Froch, Calzaghe, Lewis, Bruno and Prince Naseem together.


But i do think Pac looks amazing against these big walk forward punchers. He does need to prove himself against a good boxer.

I can only think of floyd who fits the bill.

Then he should have used these words, 'When will Pacquiao have a bout with the style that slick black fighters use?' or something like. hopkins is smart enough to differentiate people from styles. With him it's about feeling innately superior.

floyd is the only one on his level....

but floyd is busy with other things.

how long ago was this? do u still believe both fighters are the same? manny has grown and improve so much after the 2nd fight with JMM. i hate how all the floyd fans keeps saying manny doesnt do well with skilled technical boxers. Sure floyd is very technical and skilled at what he does but this is not a karate match. The ref doesnt stop the fight each time u score a hit. Sooner or later floyd is gonna have to exchange punches with manny and thats when its lights out for floyd. We all know manny can take a punch already so floyd can hit and duck all he wants but he wont be able to knock manny out and he cant run around the ring all 12 rounds so he's gonna have to exchange with manny like it or not.
