That's just how boxing works.
When boxing first began WHITES dominated the sport.
African American fighters would have never been considered great had they never defeated a great WHITE fighter.
African Americans have pretty much dominated the sport dating back to the Jack Johnson era.
It is only right that if a fighter above lightweight wants to be considered one of the best of all times (or the best of all time) then he should have to beat a great African American fighter (if one exists in or near his weight class).
Joe Calzaghe did it. JC Chavez did it.
Now Pacquiao must do it. Pac had his chance to do it earlier this year, but he ducked Shane Mosley and fought Clottey instead.
Now he has a chance to do it with Mayweather but he won't take the STEROID tests.
If Paul Williams beats Martinez then he'll have a chance to fight Paul. I'm already anticipating the excuses from Team Pac. "He's too tall", "He doesn't have a big enough name", etc, etc...
I hope Pac proves me wrong and steps up to the plate. Only a few fighters have passed this challenge.
