Comments Thread For: K. Porter: Mayweather Avoids Young Black Foes in Prime

[ElMeroChingon]

One knock on Mayweather's resume is that he's never gone against a pure boxer. Someone like Rigo, loma, have those capabilities.


The closest he has to one around his weight class is Lara. Could make for a interesting matchup, as FLoyd could end up being the agressor against someone with Lara's foot speed.

How is being a "prime African American" fighter any different than being a prime fighter of any other background? Exactly what skillset does an African American fighter possess exclusively?

I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps "slickness"

Let's see, Floyd fought Zab Judah in his prime, Demarcus Corley in his prime, Sharmba Mitchell in is prime. He also called out Shane years ago in his prime but Shane declined (which haters love to forget about). He also called out Cotto in his prime as well but Arum kept cotto away from Floyd, just like he kept Pac away from Floyd for years. The only fighter that anyone can legitimately say Floyd avoided was Pwills or Marg, both whom everyone avoided at WW.

Also genius, ODLH is Mexican not black. But we can throw in Floyd beating undefeated Corrales, Hatton and Canelo all in their primes too since race apparently doesn't matter lol. Porter is crap and like everyone else he just wants a payday. Porter is not even a top 5 WW whatsoever. Porter loses to Floyd, Brook, Thurman, Pac and JMM.

Kenny Porter is about as knowledgable about boxing as his son is skilled in it lol. Both suck.

Why fight prime black fighters when he can fight victor Ortiz and Robert Guerrero ? Lol

Lol, right! Slickness was the first thing that came to mind when I watched Porter maul Broner the other week.........

[boxingfan4life]

Why these young prime foes wanna take on a near 40 year old man? Goes both ways.

So that they can get their biggest payday and Floyd is the best boxer right now. It makes dollars and sense.

Floyd duckin Black Murderers' Row doe.

Erislandy Lara (his ancestors boat landed in Cuba)
Shawn Porter
Tim Bradley
Devon Alexander

Mayweather vs Alexander would be atrocious!!

Porter is as slick as sand paper

[Nightfall]

another way of begging

[mabulkhair]

If anyone is deserving of a Floyd mayweather fight its Bradley. Besides pac's current resume, Bradley has the best at welterweight (Provo, Marquez, pac, Chaves) although Mayweather still wins, Porter and Khan don't deserve it. Sharmba, Judah, Corley, and Augustus....especially Agustus which was one of May's toughest fights are all slick black fighters. This is just another ploy from the Porter family to get Mayweather, Porter and Khan are coming off as desperate...pathetic.
