Could Manny retire without facing an African American?

I just think that it depends on how you measure "better" - Like I say, I personally believe that Floyd has the best boxing skills in the business today.

I would still rank Pac ahead of him P4P based on accomplishment.

 

When Pacquiao and Barrera fought in 2003, who do you personally believe had better boxing skills?

 

Dude - Relax, I see where you're coming from and understand your point.

Barerra, a super high level skill fighter - Is not Floyd Mayweather.

Personally, in my opinion, and irrespective of *****'s or *******s opions, I doomeddisciple, think that Floyd has the most complete skillset in the game.

Would I pick Floyd over Kelly Pavlik should they fight tomorrow - Probably not - But I would still think that Floyd was the more skilled of the two.

 

can somebody please explain to me what on earth is slick about andre berto? does he simply qualify for this tag due to the colour of his skin? he is a clumsy, rough and tumble nobody. pacman would smash him into the middle of next week.

 

pac also is a sexist as he hasn't beaten any women boxer.

that definitely will affect his legacy as the mayweathers have that in their resume.

 

hhhhmmm its shocking that pac only fought people like jmm, morales, barrera, cotto and ducked all those other african american stars who were dominating these guys, now what were there names again......... eh this is weird they have completely gone out of my head?? How strange

 

African-American's usually have a particular style that most intelligent people know gives Pacquiao trouble. Pacman's resume cannot be complete without facing Mayweather or at least Bradley.

 

You are all over the place. What gap? An African-American gap? Well if that is the only qualification then yes, the question is racial because that is the only definition and explanation you brought. So don't blame others for being racist.

Others have already addressed that code for 'slick' boxers.

 

The most feared attribute in all of boxing. No wonder Manny's running scared.

 

LOL> That is actually funny. :good

The TS is funny too. :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

While I do not disagree with you about counter punchers vs Pac, why not just say defensive specialist. What is the point of stating "African-American" as a qualifier?
That is like saying Satchel Paige never met a white American slugger so his greatness is in question.

And what does race have to say about 'completeness' of ones resume? Are there not arguments about SRR having a lack of elite slick black fighters in his resume? Is his resume 'incomplete'?


It is a basic question that is unfortunately wrapped in stupidity by people with limited view of the world.

 

This is what happens when your only friend is Nallege...

 

you and your friends are dumb then.. I want you to go back and think about the top fighters in each weight class that manny has fought in while he was in that weight class . Nate Campbell was the only african American fghter that really was around the top of a weight class that manny was in ( for 1 fight )

This thread Is stupid, we have heard in the past that Manny avoids black fighters , he completely shuts down and destroys a huge black welter weight in Clottey , but aparently he needs to fight a black fighter from the US ?

I am pretty sure he is trying to make a fight with the best African American fighter in recent years ... One who enjoys putting up hurdles / excuses when it comes to fighting anyone who is a real challenge. Manny agreed to the 14 day Floyd deal , no word from the mayweather camp .. Only from his half ******ed dad saying Floyd will never fight pacquaio.

 

But marquez was out gunned by pac in all those departments with the exception of SKILL of course! You saw how those two fights were close, Imagine what floyd would do to pac! SERIOUSLY, Im a pac fan as well. Im just realistic
