    Peterson? :lol: I love how slick automatically means black to some people. Might as well say Kirkland

    Naw, well that is a different question. See I'm saying he has avoided a slick black fighter since 2006. That's about 7 years now. You asked me who he could fight and I mentioned who from the current crop he could fight.

    So now the question back to you? I'm assuming you are a Mayweather fan. For a moment forget the boundaries and money, don't you think those would be good fights? I would like to see those fights and I think they would be good fights.

    Canelo is an Irish Mexican and DLH had essentially become an honorary White Man by the end of his career. He even looked paler to boot :lol:

    Would be interesting to see what the effect on PPV is when both fighters are black. If they are both mainstream stars, like Tyson and Lewis, I doubt it matters. But about 30 seconds on any boxing forum is enough to realize that a lot of people root for/against guys partially along racial lines. And some root almost exclusively along racial lines. I'd imagine that intra-racial fights do less business because it's less exciting for such people. Especially a percentage of the people who desperately want to see Floyd lose.

    Yeah, I hear you on that. Plus the speed comments is wack. Dude could have average hand speed but if he's black, commentators be like, he's fast as lightening. It's that ole stereotypical bull****.:yep
