      Correct! That's why Apollo Creed had to teach Rocky some rhythm, gotta fight slick with slick. Everyone knows that.

          Really? You seriously don't know??

          Well I'll explain: Black people have that animal in them moreso than other races. Seriously. All jokes aside. Their bodies are more animalistic, i.e. rhythm, speed, power, fast twitch. Look at the damage two young black fighters can do to each other, i.e. Benn-McClellan. It's no joke.

            Clever way to spew racism.

                Ken don't know what he's talking about regarding Mosley and Dela Hoya, Mosley was offered the fight in 1999 and his camp turned it down after his dad said it was too early, then in 2006 he was asked about a potential fight with Mayweather and he said he wanted to take a vacation with his family.

                As for Dela Hoya, I don't think I even have to explain that to anyone who was following boxing in the 2000s, Floyd called out Oscar literally after every fight, he was willing to move up from 135 to 147 or even 154 to get that Dela Hoya fight and I never heard Dela Hoya even mention Floyd till he wanted to cash out at the end of his career, and at the end of the day u can't blame them, he was a very high risk low reward kind of fight cuz nobody really knew him even though he was the best P4P fighter in the world.

                It's not his fault that the black fighters of today (Porter, Alexander and so on) can't market themselves well and they don't have a decent fan base, the only black fighter that can sell a fight nowadays apart from Mayweather is Broner, and maybe Wilder if he steps it up cuz he's a heavyweight.

                Floyd has made it clear that since 2009 till now he's fighting for the money, whoever he can make the most money with that's who he's fighting, if these fighters wanna fight the best but can't fight Mayweather, why don't they start fighting each others? Why doesn't Thurman fight Porter or why doesn't Porter fight Khan or why doesn't fight Alexander or Guerrero or Bradley, Why doesn't brook fight Bradley and the list of potential match ups is very long, when Floyd was coming up he wasn't calling out 40 year olds, he was calling out the best fighters and the biggest names out there, Dela Hoya, Mosley, Casamayor, Tszyu, etc...

                  Porter's dad like others want that big payday check & this black prime fighter BS is just that BS. He should thank Floyd for not picking his son and making him look like a clown in the ring & him a fool thinking he's a elite/prime type trainer. Hell Floyd wouldn't even need a trainer in his corner against the entire Porter team, so K. Porter you should thank your lucky stars your kid isn't in the ring against Floyd getting made a fool of all because you want a larger slice of the lotto pie.

                    Give it a rest, you're not going to win the Mayweather Lottery. Shawn Porter couldn't beat Kell Brook, so why should he get the Mayweather fight?

                      Black athletes typically are blessed through genetics. That's not saying every black athlete is or no other race of athlete isn't.

                      I call it "that sht you can't teach".
