    Laila who ended her career with a record of 24-0 with 21 knockouts said she expects Mayweather to win because of his superior boxing skills.

    “I’ll probably go with Mayweather because he is a skilled fighter. He is a superior talent“ though she conceded “Pacquiao is a great fighter but I always go with skills over just being a brawler like Pacquiao.”

    I wonder if she is vicariously rooting for Mayweather just because she can empathize will all the years of "he's ducking Pacquiao" he endured mirroring her own ducking of Wolfe? :think

    I wouldn't call Manny a brawler at this stage of his career

    He isn't, she's really oversimplifying.

    Dunno if I'm misinterpreting your two lines of thought but I'd say FMJ's skin is a bit dark for the NOI types tastes.

    You know what? Now that I think about it blacks are the only fans that will hardly ever root for a non-black fighter.....I always see Hispanics/Whites/Asians rooting for other fighters that do not belong to their ethnic group....but with blacks it's practically unheard off.:-(

    that's a bit over exaggerating. you have a lot of ppl rooting for ppl who look like them (I believe that's why so many white kids are into mma, ppl saying hey he looks like me), but for hardcore boxing fans every race ive known loved Gatti, likes Pac, etc.

    and high profile names are rooting for pac over MW like SRL, Holyfield, Hagler, etc.
