beating 1 black guy does not proves pacquiaos greatness...

[carlos slim]

rocky marciano was the 1st white heavyweight champ who wasnt afraid of black fighters....only problem was the ones he fought were old past there prime or old and undersized....im not saying he handpicked but they were far from there best days....there is a real perception out there that pacquiao has avoided black fighters im not here to argue if its valid or not but it exists....well fighting 40 year old mosley off 2 terrible performances 2.5 years removed from his last win wont prove much if anything.....pacquiao has to continue to fight young or near prime black fighters like mayweather, bradley, alexander, berto, and not inhouse guys like lamont peterson brothers.....he can start by fighting williams or kirkland and work his way up to tougher in prime fighters....

Know beating the likes of Barrera, Marquez, Morales, Cotto, Hatton, Margarito, Larios, Ledwaba and Mira make him great and the style he fought his fights in, Thats what makes him great.

Unless I'm mistaken, Marciano was shorter in height and had a much shorter reach than ALL his black opponents, and he probably weighed less than all of them.

He was smaller than they were.

Although three well-known ones were older, most of his black opponents were about the same age or even younger than he was.

Let's not forget, he had 49 fights, not just the high-profile ones.
