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

[Showtime..]

I'm not excusing Pacquiao for anything. This is about Floyd... try to defend Floyd without bring up Pacquiao if at all possible.

I'm a Pacquiao mark bro, and I hate Floyd, but I respect his abilities.
I think that Judah & Mosley could have beaten Mayweather if they were more committed.
Also, If Floyd were to beat Porter (highly doubt he fights an 168lb guy who fights like Maidana but better), I would rank the Porter win equal to Pacquiao's over Bradley.

Porter would be a good win, but he's not as good as Bradley, he's still got some seasoning to do. I don't see how Judah or Mosley could've beaten Mayweather. Floyd wont even fight Alexander... how's he going to fight Bradley or Porter?

Former two division champion Bernard Hopkins is never afraid to speak his mind. So it came at no surprise when Hopkins gave his opinion on the question that many black fighters are afraid to discuss in public - "when will Manny Pacquiao face a top notch black fighter." There has always been that lingering rumor circulating around in the sport, that Pacquiao and his handlers were avoiding African American fighters who fought with a "slick boxing" type of style.

Wow...do we really want to drag up a years-old thread and all play in the Racist Swamp?

Well I'm a big Judah Mark. He could have been the GOAT if he was really committed (like Mayweather or Pacquiao are). Floyd adjusted to Mosley's style, and if Mosley changed it up himself, he could have made it a close fight.

Idk about Alexander vs Floyd, say during 2011 or some time like that. Floyd would look at Bradley's blueprint and try to Gatti Alexander. I don't see Alexander landing any big shots though if Floyd fought his usual way.

Are you saying you would take Bradley > Porter in a fight? I would Porter 8-4 probably. Styles make fights.

Floyd has a phobia of slick black african american fighters, no wonder he defend Donald Sterling
