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

That's your opinion. However, unless you have some data to prove me wrong, my theory could very well be accurate. If my theory is accurate, then is there still something wrong with me?

 

See the opening post.

 

No one can argue that Shane hasn't been fighting some good fighters. He really hasn't fought any bad fighters in years. However, we all know styles make fights. I believe most would agree that before he fought Mosley, Margo was regarded as the better fighter than Berto. However, Mosley stated, before the Margo fight, that Margo would be an easier fight than Berto. He talked about how he grew up fighting Mexicans and that he was adept at handling that style. He also remarked that Berto was more unpredictable and would give him more problems.

 

No, Mayweather has fought no one. He's completely overrated, beating him means nothing.

 

The Judah fight would've been in 2008, so that would've been 4 years. Anyway, no one said Mosley has been purposely not fighting black fighters; at least not in the sense that he's saying he's not going to fight someone simply because they're black.

 

How come I pointed out in my opening post that Mayweather hadn't fought a black fighter in 4 years?

So believe that because I say him not fighting a black fighter in 6 years is not merely a coincidnece that it conveys that Shane is not fighting these guys simply because they're black? Obviously I couldn't possibly believe that considering he's about to fight Floyd. Boxing is all about risk and reward. I believe many of the top black fighters in the division possess skillsets that would trouble Shane.

I also believe that none of them, except Floyd, are much of a draw. As such, I believe that it is entirely possible that Mosley has not fought any black fighters in recent times because the risk/reward factor has not been in his favor. Mosley openly stated in 2009 that he was not interested in fighting Williams or Berto because he only wanted big money fights. He say idlely waiting for his chance. Now if Berto or Williams were easy pickings for him, he would've taken the fight to stay busy. If they represented big paydays, he would've fought them as well. He eventually agreed to fight Berto, but only after he realized he wasn't going to get that big fight anytime soon.
