According to Hopkins, Pacquiao has been kept away from top African American boxers who fight with a slick style. Hopkins believes the slick style of a top African American boxer, like Floyd Mayweather Jr., would easily beat Pacquiao. However, the list of possible candidates for Pacquiao's next fight is mostly comprised of top African American boxers.

[wazaa.]

it doesn't get any blacker than Joshua Clottey

so sssssssssssssshhh Hopkins

[wazaa.]

but for real. hopkins does have a point. Manny should fight someone like Bradley or Berto. Eventhough Berto doesn't deserve it.

Its not actually the color of skin, but the color of Money.

Money Pacquiao is the current hot property in Boxing today, and so a lot of Boxers are so invious on Pacman's success. They all want to fight pacman even in catchweight for that big payday - millions of dollar - Money that's it!

What Bernard said was NOT Racist. IT WAS THE TRUTH!!! Manny beat two AFRICANS!!! We're talking about African Americans here!! And everyone knows Manny and Freddie ducked Shane after he destroyed Margarito. And now that he's looked like **** "he's a very good possibility" Team Pac is a joke. And how was Clottey a guy that noone even knew the best possibility financially?? According to *******s Manny sold the fight by himself, and filled the stadium by himself. So don't take us for fools. You're not fighting the best! Simply setting Manny up for success.

Clottey is blue, not black, silly!

I would like a fight with Bradley, but Berto doesnt deserve it and is probably too much of a chicken ass to take the fight anyway.

there are better fights to be made.

I agree with Freddy here. I think Bernard takes it far with the whole race and color thing, it's not the first time he touched on the black/white stuff. Some people will say he's ***ing around and all, but i think that bernard is partly racist. He's a black ****** from Philly who wear gimp masks to fight, come on now.

So Berto doesn't deserve a shot, but because he's black he should get one anyway?

Freddie tried to take the HIGH ROAD but there's something about the TRUTH that didn't allow him to do so .....anyway, I still stand by my opinion...Bernard said NOTHING racist....if Oscar had said something about a fighter fighting Mexicans who had not fought any Mexicans....it wouldn't have made the radar like this

you do know there are no top African Americans at 147lbs, right?(other than the two duckers)

how can anyone think that Mosley would stand a chance with Pacquiao after his awful outting against Mora...
