    Wow just wow, most of the guys he fights are Mexican and guess what? they've gotten thier asses kicked, I don't recall him fighting a black guy BUT if & when he fights PBF he is gonna be in the ring for the first ever with a masterful boxer, look out

    Listen, I love Pac, he's my favourite fighter ever. I'm just saying, the elite level of that Mexican fighting style is probably his biggest difficulty as shown so far.

    Morales was 1-1 at his peak, Marquez in my eyes is a draw over the 2 fight series

    EM, MAB, and JMM are great fighters with no weaknesses, Cotto and Hatton are NOT great and both have thier flaws, the only reason people gave either guy a chance is because they were both much bigger than Pac. As for ODLH he was washed up IMO as his fight with Forbes showed, I knew after Forbes that if he fought any true Elite at 147 he would be in trouble, in fact the only guy he would beat for sure is the slow limited Margo.

    Who doesn't struggle with a "tough fighter with great technical skill"?

    I mean come on, regardless of race. You put a great fighter against that type of fighter. Its bound to be a hard fought battle 99 percent of the time.

    I get you, all I'm saying is he has only fought great mexicans, he hasn't fought any other great fighters of another race, Hatton and Cotto are good but neither is great.

    I'm not talking about race. I'm talking about styles. Which kinda backs up your statement.

    Its not about race! And although Cotto and Hatton aren't great they are world class operators of different styles

    Its not a style its the mental makeup of several gifted fighters regardless of race. Anybody can be tough. It all depends on the fighters personality and their background.

    Theirs plenty of them in Mexico because of the hard way of life down their. But theirs been plenty of tough non-mexicans as well.

    I didnt mention toughness. Clottey is tough, Froch is tough.

    Its about knowing when to sling guns. Its about timing punches when fists are blazing. Barrera and Morales were both QUICK and AGGRESIVE. If they were black and American, they might have become more traditional boxer/movers and would probably been successful at it. I just think that its stressed more by Mexican trainers in the same way that skillful football is stressed more by Brazilian coaches
