    You gotta admit its a great argument. Floyd is always avoiding the guy he isn't fighting. If he fights a guy he formally avoided then that guy is now done. Its win win for the "Floyd scared doe!" crowd. I wish I came up with that argument its so good tbh.

        And come on man even if there isn't any black cats on this alleged list lets be real Latino's sell more than anyone else in boxing these days & Floyd is 0% latino last I heard.

        If you wanna comeback & do PPV buys,
        You need to give a Mexican a black eye.
        Idk man, honestly Broner would sell more than DSG. Canelo is the only fighter that could generate the most $ but they could fight at HW and itd be the same fight. I just want to see something different.

Seems like from what I hear DSG and Canelo (after Khan) are the top choices, even a Pacquiao rematch, mean while Spence, Thurman, and Porter are all equally deserving IMO. Hell I would bet Jessie Vargas has a better chance of securing a Floyd fight. Wouldn't Floyd want to give another brotha a payday and a chance to pass the torch (so to speak)?
            Floyd hasn't given a list of potential opponents, he was asked about possible oppoents by Jim Gray and that list did include black fighters.

            I did see a list posted on ESPN by Fat Dan and he asked about Porter/Thurman winner, Brook and Spence, all are black.

            Floyd and Broner, who is black, seemed to stage a fake beef to drum up interest in a fight.

            As for "passing the torch", I don't think any of the people mentioned above can beat him, so it wouldn't be "passing the torch".

            I think the biggest fights are all against non black fighters so they get mentioned more.

                true I shouldve kept referring to African American, not black because that could include a lot.

                    Because they haven't beaten anybody.
