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

If he beats a Black guy next; then people will say he's never beat a ****** fighter or Mormon.

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

But that is completely separate from picking/avoiding an opponent on physical attributes (young, prime).

Why do all these young, prime fighters want to take on an older, slower, more battle worn fighter (relative to prime)?

Because there are other factors to picking opponents...

Ok. Learn something new everyday...Dela Hoya is African American.

Two weeks ago at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Last Vegas, Shawn Porter handed Adrien Broner the second loss of his professional career. Porter (26-1-1, 16 KOs) had hoped to catapult himself into a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs) on September 12th at the MGM Grand.

Porter's hopes were dashed when Mayweather rejected his advance and advised him to face Errol Spence on the pay-per-view undercard. Porter has no interested in fighting on the undercard, he wants Floyd in the main event.

Every bodies trying to use Psychology 101 on Floyd to get that lottery ticket punched.

147lb Paul Williams would have been Floyd's toughest opponent.

Even to date.

Steroid Mosley and handwrap Margarito also would have been tougher challenges than any other on Floyd's resume.

Where is Chico,Corley, and Judah?

True. Watch Floyd avoid Kell Brook now, and fight another faded old boxer who moved up from a smaller weight division.

Maybe Floyd can talk Eric Morales out of retirement? Or perhaps he'll fight Vic Darchinyan?

Mayweather also avoids non-drained prime top non-black boxers. Floyd just HAD to be a diva and fight Canelo at that catchweight, he couldn't be a ring warrior for once in his life.

Casual fans have no clue who brooks is. This is still a business and the fight has to sell. Canelo tipped the scales on fight night at 174lbs. How on earth is that drained??????? Thats 20lbs over the jr mw limit. So again how is that drained? Roach and pac stipulate a fighter must meet the catch wt ON FIGHT NIGHT. Canelo was able to rehydrate so no drain involved.

News Flash!!!!!

Floyd avoids all young fighters.... not willing to take a pay off!

[-PBP-]

He fought:

Judah
Corley
Mitchell
N'dou

Mosley ducked him in his prime

These dudes laid eggs:

Williams lost to Quintana
Bradley lost to Pac
Berto lost to Guerrero & Ortiz
Alexander lost to Porter & Khan
Clottey lost to Pac & Cotto
Lara lost to Canelo
Porter lost to Brook
Trout lost to Canelo & Lara

These dudes need to do more:

Thurman ain't fought nobody
Spence ain't fought nobody
Andrade ain't fought nobody

Brook is a candidate for 9/12. So what's the issue?
