    I'm racking my brain trying to remember if Pacquiao ever fought a black fighter before Clottey. If this is true, why has he avoided black fighters most of his career? I'm sure the opponents were out there considering the weight classes he's been in so far. Could it be that Roach feared exposure to a black fighters earlier in Pac career would have damaged him in the long run?

    You're new to the sport arent you. I can tell. PAC has faced black fighters but not many simply b/c PAC comes from lower weight classes where black fighters are not as common. At the lower weight classes most of the top fighters are spanish or asian and PAC has A LOT of those. As he's moved up there are more opportunities to face black fighters but the one that is suppose to be the best has got cold feet. There were a few black fighters that PAC could have faced but there were ALWAYS tougher and more challenging fighters who were NOT black that PAC faced.

    i think you must consider the weight. black athletes are bigger guy so therefore they start their career from 125 lbs or 130 lbs.

    Since this thread is incredibly stupid, and not worth addressing, here's a random video:

    Maybe he thinks black people are not worth his time.




    And before you go "****ing racist" **** on me....

    That was a joke based on the stupidity of your initial post. You may want to reword what you meant to say.

    Here's a better question, how many black fighters out there can or could have beaten Pacquiao?

    This subject has been done to death. Pac has fought a several Black fighters, just not any Black American fighters.
