Pacquiao and the black fighter dilema

Did you ever saw a list of the best black fighters with Jose Napoles,Luis Rodriguez or Kid Gavilan there?

I Havent,but i have seen them on lists with the best latin fighters.

 

My point was that he doesn't avoid black fighters, his team avoids slick fighters. Most of them happen to be black which is why he's been accused of avoiding black fighters.

 

exactly. correlation is not causation: he avoids slick fighters who HAPPEN to be black, not black fighters. just cause they're black doesn't mean that's why he stays away

 

So which were you talking about? Black as in Black Fighter or Black mixed?

 

Latino simply means that you are an inhabitant of a country that was a former territory of Spain. Columbians are Latino. Edison Miranda is Columbian. Edison Miranda is black.

 

:thumbsup

 

not this again. atsch

 

Hes as black as it gets but when people mention his race they say hes latin they dont say hes black.

I didnt made these rules im just stating what everyone does.

 

:thumbsupBingo, this is my point. The few fighters at the lower level that happened to be slick are not big draws. As a result, they will be avoided by guys like Pac. Mayweather is the worst stylistic matchup out there for Pac. He will fight him thought because their is enough money on the table.

 

That's nice, but Latin IS NOT A RACE.

 

Soto is under Top Rank, so yea he probably would have fought him, Arum likes to keep the money in the family.

 

Latino,Hispanic call it what you want but in the states its considered a race.

 

And because pacquiao has the balls to fight the best. Mayweather should have been the guy to fight cotto but instead he let pacquiao do it for him.

 

Make it simple . . . his team wisen up and didn't make Pac took unnecessary risks. Stature and money is the main consideration.

Where is Guzman before and where is Guzman now? Even Soto who is also an Arum Boy didn't get a crack at Pacquiao. Team Pac opted to get a crack at another divisional title which is a good move.

Why would Pac fight Peterson , Alexander or Bradley now? Just to disprove nuisance allegations that he is avoiding black fighters? Do you realize the risks compare to what is to be gained?

. . . bottom line there's no black fighter that were considered better options that Diaz, Hatton, DLH and Cotto in terms of Stature and money. :deal

 

You are wrong again. Go look at the latest U.S Census. Under race, Latino and Hispanic are not a category.
