    I don't even care about that it's just that the other very top fighter in his division happens to be African American(Floyd). Why is fighting an African American even a requirement? It should be that the best fight the best no matter what their ethnicity is.

    Who's missing Floyd? It's not Pac's fault the Afro was a coward

    Pac's fighting Mosley, an african american, finally !!

    Yeah I understand that and I understand if you fight all the top guys and they all happen to be another race then that's cool, but holy crap. He hasn't faced that style once and he's fighting Mosley next who's the least black, black fighter out there

    We've discussed this before. Mexicans have a similar style(not saying they all fight the same). Same with Cubans, and african americans. African Americans usually have that slick style of fighting and fight in the rhythms. If look at Mosley he doesn't fit the description as much as other african americans like Bradley or even Berto.
    If you watch the World Series of Boxing, then you can see a better example of it

    What are you some kind of African boxing historian shut the hell up clown. Mosley is a great fighter and a true champion, Berto and Bradley are scrubs. Lol slick afro style

    Eat a dick. Mosley in his prime was better than both of them, but that doesn't mean he's slick. I'm not saying just because you're slick, that means you're good. I'm just saying Manny hans't fought one slick fighter

    The three Mexicans we're pretty slick at 125-130lbs, there's no slick afro boys to fight out there other than Gayweather, but he's too busy spending his entire bank account and assaulting innocent security guards.

    The fact that this poll is even remotely close is a direct reflection of the idiocy of *******s. This confirms that *******s are the worst boxing fans on earth, they're not even boxing fans, they jockride one fighter and know nothing else about the sport. This site is becoming pathetic with all these known nothing *******s. the average ******* knows less than a 12 year old girl about boxing

    A fighter is a fighter. I know some traditions may go by certain styles but not everyone in an etnicity fights the same. Is Margarito less "Mexican" because he doesn't have the same technical skills as say Chavez or Barrera? Someone's etnicity has nothing to do with how they fight though they may pick up a few things if boxing is a tradition in their family and sometimes country. Doesn't mean they're less mexican, cuban, or whatever just because they don't have the style their country is usually known for. I wish people didn't always try to see the differences amongst each other and judge them based on idiotic stereotypes.


    I love Pacquiao(really both Leonard & Pacquiao) but he has shown NOTHING to suggest he is greater than Leonard. It's not even an opinion it's a fact.

    Yeah I may be generalizing a little too much, but they are certain styles that are common in certain countries
