      Why are you arguing against something that's blatantly obvious? I'm basically saying the sky is blue here and you're arguing against it.
      I've never heard Mayweather say he wouldn't fight Mosley because he's black. I need to see proof. Maybe he said Mosley didn't sell well. But not because he was black -- well maybe you're right but I'd love to hear it.

      BTW he fought him so that's a silly argument anyway. We're talking about Black/white fighters he didn't fight. And we're going back and forth over some one he did...six months later than you wished.

        He fought Mosley 18 months after the Margarito fight. After choosing Marquez over him. After the Pacquaio negotiations fell apart and after there was a bloody natural disaster in Haiti which caused Berto to pull out of the Mosley fight....lol it's not like he jumped at the chance to fight Mosley in the way he did with Ortiz or Guerrero or Maidana. It's nothing to do with "ducking". I'm just stating the bleedin' obvious - he targets certain types of fighters.

          Your point is very moot right now. He fought Mosley right after Juan. And berto had 2 chances he blew it

            Wasn't Mayweather going to fight Mosley back in 08 if Shane had gotten the decision in the Cotto fight?

              In the Brian Kenny interview he said something to the effect of "Marquez has a country behind him and you always get your biggest fights when you pit black fighters against Hispanic fighters".

              Why do you think he chose Juan Manuel Marquez - a fight that literally no one was calling for - over Mosley?

                Ok that's nowhere near the same as what you said about he didn't fight Mosley because Mosley's black. Strange.

                Anyway back to the point. He fought Mosley. That's that, as much as he almost didn't blah blah.

                Berto lost his chance twice.

                So Alexander is the one guy over five years. A little silly to make any inferences based on that.

                  Because Floyd hadn't fought in almost 2 years. He then fought Shane in his very next fight. You're reaching, to put it mildly.

                    He fought Mosley when he had no other options left as I just illustrated in my previous. It doesn't make my point moot at all.

                      If the best example of him not fighting guys is a guy he fought...I don't know.
