    Who's the black fighter who defeated Cotto?

    Cotto beat both Mosley and Judah

    I'd much, much rather see Pac fight Alexander or Bradley than Margarito and Clottey. Pac has already proved to us he can beat a bigger, slower guy when he blitzed DLH. With that out of the way, why not move on to something different? By taking on a guy like Bradley he'd be challenging someone athletic with good boxing skills. Bradley would be a huge underdog but so was Margarito. If Bradley loses then that makes Pac greater than what he is today. I'd give him full credit. Give these young, talented boxers a chance. Pretty ****ing please - with cherry on top. It shouldn't be that hard considering they gave Margarito, an undeserving fighter, a shot.

    you could argue they both gave him his toughest tests though right?

    Mosley was real close

    and Zab was given him a good beatin till the low blows

    They're just trying to entice the Manny vs. Floyd fight. Nothing to do with anything, they could care less if Manny doesn't fight any black fighters. They're just saying that so they can make the fight with Floyd happen. Maybe to further make it seem like he needs Floyd. They better be careful, we may see a Mosley fight instead.

    It doesn't matter clown. Messed up is messed up regardless of the direction. Who was the complaining coming from?

    Don't complain when you engage in the same BS. Don't complain when you look the other way while your friend engages in it too.

    From a fans point of view, of course you would love to see that. That said, think like an older ATG fighter, why would you want to take the risk on some young buck who isn't a huge money making name?

    Mayweather isn't Afro-American. He is Gallus-gallus american. Get it right guys.

    Reread my post. "...the chain..."

    Cotto > Margo > Mosley

    Cotto was also whipped by Clottey, who I didn't count in my assessment, and gifted a decision for the PR Day Parade. Cotto was damaged goods and every serious boxing fan knew it. To fight the best the obvious choice was Mosley, Berto, or call Mayweather out while he was in retirement (like JMM had the guts to).

    Like always, that fraud takes the path of least resistance and his brain dead fans support it. Just like now. Idiot accepted that Margo farce at 154 to make him an 8 (catch)weight champion and say Mayweather needs to fight Williams or Martinez. Please. :bart

    a) Mosley isn't a slick African-American fighter either. Neither is Tall Paul.
    b) The only slick African-American fighters you can even argue he should have fought and that he was able to are Nate Campbell and Mark Johnson, not exactly murderer's row
