Haters all say that Pac is avoiding fighting Slick black fighters. They all say that Pac fights the same kind of come-forward-stand-in-front fighters who lack defensive skills and are vastly inferior in speed and footwork.
But why can't that logic be applied also to Floyd Jr?
Look at their past opponents and try to compare them.
FLoyd Jr.: Mosley, Hatton, Dela Hoya, Baldomir, Judah, Gatti (Marquez, an overblown lightweight should also be added to the list, where he forced Marquez to become the aggressor... a role that doesn't fit Marquez style).
Pac: Marg, Clottey, Cotto, Hatton, Dela Hoya, (Marquez - slick fighter at 126-135 weight division)
Now, It can be said that Pac's success in the higher weight divisions may come from prudent matchmaking. That may be true. How about Floyd Jr.? When was the last time he fought a slick black fighter? Look at his past opponents. Is there any fighter that one could consider as a slick and defense oriented fighter?
Floyd Jr. also has been fighting the same kind of stand-in-front fighters just like Pacquiao. But why can't people point that out also? There never was a fighter that Floyd beat that can be considered as his equal or a tier-below that of his defensive wizardry.
Floyd Jr. beat were the same kind of stand-in-front fighters which made his wins look impressive because he didn't have to worry that the opponent would engage him in a strategical chess match. Brawlers who played into Floyd's kind of fight.
Now, the question is, Why is Floyd Jr. avoiding fighting slick African-American Fighters??????
