What do Gene Tunney and Manny Pacquaio have in common?

Both have one decision loss on their records.

I win.

Nah, don't have a clue.

 

Oh God. Oh no. Please, please don't tell me that this hideously ******ed theory that Pacquiao is scared of black fighters has actually made its way onto the Classic Forum! Please, anything but that!!!! I mean, it's understandable that the foaming mouthed fanboys of the General concoct such horrendously idiotic notions, but if this bile has made its way onto the Classic then this really, truly is a dark and horrible day for this website.

My fingers are crossed that I am wrong here, or my faith in the Classic will be dented forever. This forum is far too good for this dog****, surely to Christ it is........

 

unfortunately i think you're right.

 

you are so right.

 

If I am, then I've never been more demoralized and disillusioned with this forum. How can a Classic regular be so utterly moronic as to promote this pathetic nonsense?

 

Clottey wasn´t African-American though. :bart

 

Yes you can.

All the great African-Americans that Pacquiao ducked on his way up, like Derrick Gainer, Kevin Kelley and Junior Jones. Pacquiao clearly ducked them to take the easier options of Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales.

Come to think of it, why did Pacquiao fight p4p ranked Ricky Hatton for The Ring lww title, then p4p ranked Miguel Cotto for the WBO ww title, when he could have been fighting young gun Nate Campbell in a money-spinning non-title fight?

And what the hell is a Ledwaba anyway? :huh

 

Africa is no country, Sarah! And I was told it doesn´t matter which citizenship you have but only where you come from on this very board. :deal

 

African...a fan of pac...and working for Bob arum...

I guess he counts.

 

Manny Steward said right on HBO that Paq has never fought "a super fast, American boxer/puncher type like Floyd." Fairly close reference if you ask me ...
