Floyd Mayweather Sr: Shane hasn't fought any black fighters since Winky

"Shane aint never beat a black fighter since he lost(to Wright),..he's only been fighting Mexican fighters since Forrest and Winky beat him, and hell Oscar beat him the second time"

editor's note: Shane has fought two Puerto Ricans and a Nicaraguan since losing to Wright.

Floyd is partially right. Shane has not beat a black fighter since he lost Wright. In fact, he hasn't beat a black fighter in almost 10 years. Shane hasn't fought a black fighter since Wright almost 6 years ago. Floyd Jr. hasn't fought a black fighter in 4 years. It's interesting that the sports' top two black fighters haven't fought any black fighters in a combined almost 10 years.

 

There is a very interesting point in all of this. Black fighters, especially Black Americans, are generally not big ticket sellers. There are plenty of them that fly under the radar because they represent too much risk for too little of a reward. Two of the top fighters in the sport are Black Americans, and neither of them have given another Black American(who are in a position that both of these guys were once in) an opportunity.

 

Yes, that fight would've taken place at the end of this past January.

 

To be fair to Floyd Sr., Blacks and Mexicans tend to have different fighting stlyes. However, he doesn't point out that Blacks and Puerto Ricans often have similar styles. He also fails to point out that his own son hasn't fought a black fighter in 4 years himself.

 

Name one black fighter that Shane beat who was as good or better than Judah?
