Why doesnt Floyd's list of potential comback opponents include any African Americans?

[glenn mcrory]

Because they don't have anything. He's trying to help them, not extinct what little hope they have left.

[Scipio2009]

He's a draw and African American. Call me a Broner Fanboy but the Porter fight was a glorified sparring session and I didn't see no one get whooped in the Maidana fight. I seen a young fighter dropped by a monster puncher who even hurt Floyd and got up to give a great fight even hurting him in the later rounds.

Broner has become a fat waste but he has real potential.

I don't doubt that Broner, if he ever gets on his Ps and Qs, does have real potential; I simply remind you that this is the boxing business.

If Floyd "Money" Mayweather were to come out and say that he was looking to fight Adrien Broner tomorrow, the sports media will immediately point out that Broner got beat on by Maidana (who Floyd beat twice, the second time easier), lost a wide fight to Shawn Porter, and the fact that Broner is on the cusp of picking up his own extend jail bid.

Broner, as an option, would **** up the business on a Floyd fight.

Because Floyd knows that his speed and counterpunching win fights
When you have guys who are fast too and are much younger then it negates Floyds abilities
Floyd avoids fast fighters like the plague
Its not just black fighters, he ducked pacquiao for 5 years and more recently ducked amir khan

[BM dnobagaV]

He fought a black dude in his last fight...did you forget that?

Bruh.... It waz Berto..

[Sledgeweather17]

Which style is that exactly? The style Porter uses that Ricky Hatton was also a fan of?

Thurman? I'd say Khan and Thurman fight rather similar no? Thurman more coordinated while Khan's more athletic

Doesn't Kell, a english fighter rather fight a lot like Floyd himself...

You realize fighters fight differently no matter if they are from the same street or same country.

Yeah I think everyone gets that. However, what you have to get also is that the background and culture plays a major role in the development of a fighter.

For example, the Afro American culture/background is emphasis flo, style, rhythm, entertainment/fun, comedy, and athleticism, which ultimately produces the slick style of fighting. (entertainment/fun and comedy part produces the teasing and taunting of opponents that is typical of the slick fighter).

The Mexican culture, they are all about street rep, aztec warrior, honour, and pride, which ultimately produces the pressure fighter.

Eastern Euro's and to an extent, all Euros are about discipline, respect, competetive spirit, science, and controlled aggression which produces ultimately a sort of methodical and systematic style of breaking down opponents.

Of course you can find all of these types in any of the ethnicities/cultures, however, typically, this is how it goes.

[Sledgeweather17]

I would love for him to fight somebody athletic...not necessarily black.

Pac not athletic now?

[Nubia]

What is it with casuals and their obsessions with Floyd fighting more African Americans?

There aren't any at this current moment that are justifiable in fighting anyway. The only one would be the winner of Porter-Thurman I guess. Or if Bradley had beaten Pacquiao.

[Lester Tutor]

actually this thread is paradoxical one..

There are 3 top 154 fighters if Floyd chooses to fight at its Limit NOW at his comeback age. Of course people will cry that Lara, Charlo or Andrade weren't Oscar... but then again, Oscar was not a seasoned 154..

Therefore, 154 would be a bigger test for Floyd at its LIMIT.

[Willy Wanker]

Floyd doesn't believe in black on black crime.

Name me five active fighters that fit your catagories.
