Does Pac get credit for beating a top black fighter?

that's true but only now. pre 140 there weren't a lot of these "slick black fighters" in his weight classes. when he moved up he took on the best at 140 (hatton) and then one of the best at 147 (cotto). the competition at this point and this weight though fits your criteria

 

He fought Cotto at 145 not 147.

 

Mosley isnt slick and never was,Alexander are we talking about the same guy that got hit by Urango's slow and wide punches?good fighter but slick he isnt, same thing with Bradley,the only one of those you named that is a slick fighter is Floyd.

Hell it took this long for Floyd to fight an elite african american fighter and he has had that option available to him for a long time certainly longer than Pac has.

 

either one means welterweight.

 

Agreed but still not 147. Not that it would've changed the outcome of the fight:good

 

PBF has atleast fought them though.

I realize that there's slim pickings of elite African American fighters at 135 and below and I'm not holding him accountable for that. I'm saying he's now campaigning at weights now that have them. He still has time to fight atleast one and shouldn't avoid them. That's all I'm saying.

 

. Pac ain't **** till he beats Zab Judah.atsch

Mosley, Bradley, or even Alexander would be good fights, that I'd like to see. The rest would get anihilated.

 

Does Andre Berto count?

 

I agree the outcome would be the same no matter what weight it was in,that bull**** demand by Roach only gives excuses to some idiots that think 2 pounds would mane a difference :good

 

Pac has never fought an African-American fighter before, that's what they ment.

 

sound point

 

Yeah I'm a Cotto fan and feel that way. Pac was just the better man and from what people are saying from the Clottey fight makes me really appreciate seeing the Pac/Cotto fight more. It was a better accomplishment for Pac to beat Cotto and a better fight.

 

Yeah, because Mexican fighters happenened to be some of the best in the weight divisions Pac fought in.

Tim Bradley- Pac fought Hatton in his only fight at 140 who was unbeaten at the weight and considered the number 1 140 pounder at the time, who had just whooped Malignaggis ass who was considered the number 2 140 pounder when Hatton beat his ass.

Cambell? Again, Pac has had only one fight at lightweight when he took on the WBC champion instead.

Andre Berto? Again, how long has Pac been a welter? When should Pac have fought Berto?

Zab Judah? I know you wouldn't give Pac credit for beating a past prime Zab.

Paul Williams? A guy who's fighting at light middle and middle, who the top dogs at welter have plainly avoided, and you expect Pac to have fought him already?

Alexander? Untill last week was an unknown. Should he have fought Alexander instead of Fighting DLH? or Hatton? Or Cotto? Or Clottey? No.

Mosley/Floyd-Don't worry, he'll fight the winner.


Steering him in certain directions my ass.

 

:good

 

Then give him time,he will eventually fight the winner of Mosley-Mayweather even though i dont think it will be his next fight cause i think Arum wants him to fight Margo or Valero next.
