    Floyd's very last opponent was a black male. Let's keep this real. You guys aren't concerned that Floyd isn't fighting an "African American" you guys are concerned that Floyd may return and fight an opponent who he can easily beat.
    Many of you waited years to see Floyd lose and it never happened and you are still bitter about that. You've given up on seeing a white, Latino, or Asian fighter beat Floyd because you have now come to the conclusion that these types of fighters will likely NEVER beat Floyd. So you pull these random names out of your ass like Thurman and Porter because you think these guys may have a chance to beat him due to their youth and athleticism.

    You don't care about seeing a black guy get his shot, your only concern is being able to see the day Floyd falls.

      Adrien Broner would be the sixth fighter on the list then; getting whooped by Maidana and routed by Shawn Porter, however, likely knocks off a lot of luster from Broner as viable B-side opponent.

        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.

          Yeah you could be right but at the same time maybe we just want to see a competitive fight.

            Not as marketable as fighting a foreigner with a big fan base.

              The race of Floyd's potential next opponent should mean nothing to people. All the same as the race of anyone shouldn't matter, lets have it right. Who cares if there was a potential list of three mexicans? Or few only white or only black guys? Why does it matter?

              Honestly if an official list came out from Floyds own mouth right now and it was Bradley, Porter, Brook or Broner... The thought of 'Oh hey, all those guys are black, why is that?...' would not even enter my mind at all.

                Well from a strictly financial perspective...Floyd vs a black fighter isn't gonna sell as well as Floyd vs a Latino fighter.

                He's been fighting on Mexican holidays for a reason

                  DSG has the best risk to reward ratio. Plain and simple.
