Bhop is lobbying to get Shane this fight. He could care less about Mayweather.
Shane is his friend, business partner, training partner, shares trainer, and Shane WANTS the fight with Pac or anybody top notch, he won't turn down a fight.
Shane is my favorite fighter, and I like Pac, so I really don't want to see that one. Shane gets hit too much, and has no quit.

I agree, SHane even in his prime was no slick boxer. He still got tagged quite a bit. When I'm thinking slick, it's Sweetpea and Mayweather that comes to mind, the defensive fighters that are hard as hell to hit.
Berto ain't slick, and neither are Bradley and Alexander, especially Alexander. Hell a lot of people thought he lost against slow as hell Kotelnik, Alexander was getting tagged every round by a freaking jab!
As people have said, I think he's trying to get a fight for Shane. But Shane at this point is pretty much washed up.

It really aint about race or color, Pac is just a Beast. You can hit him but he too will hit you and it comes in combos.
How can you be slick and elusive against a fast combo artist like pac. You got 12 rounds to try and survive but it will be hell. Floyd knows this.
Yeah genius...how can you be slick and elusive and survive Pac...wait a minute...Marquez did it twice. Stop being a nuthugger. It's easy to give "hell" to fighters that are slow and walk into your punches. Don't jump off a bridge when Floyd does what Marquez did except 100 times more effectively.
JMM wasn't slick or elusive, he counter punched his way throughout 12 rounds. What the fuck are you talking about?
Floyd wont even get in the ring with pac cause he knows he aint going to be 100 times more effective against pac.
Your the one nuthugging floyds pussy where there once balls.
Yeah. If JMM was so elusive then how come he got knocked down 5 times (counting the one when he held the rope) against Pac?

Plus Pac fought him twice in their best weight class. Floyd fought him at Floyd's best weightclass after he cheated JMM at the weigh-in scale.
Floyd is catchable too...

Re: B. Hopkins: When will Pacquiao fight a Black fighter?
Like the homie O said,
Pac got no problem fighting Africans . He gave Dominicans a try. But he got his ass whooped and almost started to cry. So he never went back. Thus the ducking of Joan Guzman.
He hasn't attempted Cubans or African Americans at all, at least not anyone we know. Picking David Diaz over Joel Casamayor and Nate Campbell (the real Champions) was just shameful. His fanbase excuse doesn't even work there. Both clearly trump David fukkin Diaz.

Blame it on promoters. Nate was a Don king fighter.... He didn't get any good fights after the title win, but based upon his performance in every fight since beating Baby bull, he's shot and it wouldn't have mattered. Plus he's not a slick "black" fighter.
Casa would have been good, but he never had big payday fights. If he was Arum promoted, he might have gotten that fight. After Diaz, Pac fought ODH and Hatton. 2 paydays that were more than Casa's whole career.

Zahir Raheem was promoted by Arum when he beat Erik Morales. Yet Pac told him no and elected for the Morales rematch despite it being clear to everybody Morales was done

Simmer down and get Pac's balls out of your dirty mouth. JMM isn't slick compared to Floyd...but than again, no one is. Marquez, out of all the fighters Pac has faced, made him miss the most and countered him the best. Now, try to wrap this around your pea sized brain. Floyd is a better athlete than anyone Pac has faced. He is more intelligent and more skilled. Pac could have fought him earlier but he was scared of a needle. When they do fight...and they will, because it will be one of the biggest pay days of all time...there will be no stationary target to make your glorified hero look good.

Re: B. Hopkins: When will Pacquiao fight a Black fighter?
Pacquiao has fought the majority of his career where there are just not that many African American fighters. From Flyweight to Lightweight the divisions are dominated by Puerto Rican or Mexican fighters. Manny is from the Philippines and along with Japanese and Thai boxers they are in the majority. You don't see the African American fighters come into prominence until at least the 140lb division and upwards. What has Hopkins been drinking?
I don't see the point of what he is saying at all.

Some people use that type of calculation to sum up the entirety of boxing... Person A beat person B, Person B lost to person a but beat person C, Person C lost to person A but bead person D, Person D beat Person A, Pearson E beat all except Person C, Person F beat Person A
And finally, Person G beat Person F....
So that makes Person F the greatest of all time..
So it will count for those people..

Re: B. Hopkins: When will Pacquiao fight a Black fighter?
This was racist, but I don't expect anything less from Bernard Hopkins. "I'll never lose to a white boy"? Why not just say I will never lose to Joe Calzaghe? Hopkins is a bit simple in the head sometimes and this is another example of him running his mouth in that kind of way. He should know better by now.

Re: B. Hopkins: When will Pacquiao fight a Black fighter?
Black, but not black-black, American Black, but from the Streets black, American Streets not African Streets, definately not Wesley Snipes black, Floyd Mayweather black. In Fact the Street Floyd Mayweather lives on black.
Ah I see what he means now. He thinks Floyd could beat Manny.
Why didnt he just say that? ;D

BTW, just in case someone brings up Lebwaba and
Clottey, they aren't african americans. And I think when B-Hop is talking about a top black fighter, he means black american.
I think the word "top" excludes Clottey even if he is as black as they come. He's Ghanaian btw for the person who said he was Nigerian.

Which I wouldn't put past him :-X

Re: B. Hopkins: When will Pacquiao fight a Black fighter?
Anyone following Hopkins over the years would already realise he's an ignorant, paranoid funker.
He has said similar things about superior "black" (meaning slick) fighters before. He seems to think black American's have a built-in style which is clearly not the case.
He once said Lou DiBella was racist for reffering to Jermain Taylor as a "stallion" and a "kid" ... you have to laugh ;D

Because Hopkins was trying to make money, not friends.... Can you Imagine how big a fight between one of the Klitchkos vs Mike Tyson would have been if Mike were still a game fighter? I know boxing fans will see two good fighters, but America will see a big Clark Kent White Boy vs a thuggish, bully, "black guy". (saying black for respect for the forum). But if it were an american white vs a European it would have been chants for "USA" all night. I mean several times Lampley on the air has called American Born citizens with Mexican heritage.. Mexican.
A lot of people, like Hopkins still believes in the Holmes-Cooney theory of a serious contender non-black vs a black will generate more money. That's why floyd was saying if he were white he'd make more money. Which is true. Because there are more whites in America, America was built on racism, and is held up by that same diseased backbone. So unless one grew up outside of the states I don't see why anyone thinks what Hopkins is doing is any different than HBO and promoters constantly putting the Mexican Fighters against Puerto Rican fighters. Or True Mexican fighters (the ones that only speak spanish) vs the American born English Speaking Mexican fighters. You see why so many people jumped on PACMAN as the MEXICAN ASSASSIN. The same way Roger Mayweather made his name because he was beating the Mexican fighters back then.
Anyone trying to deny that race plays into marketing certain fights, I admire and envy your naivety, but I grew up in the states and racism is clear and routine as breathing.

I think you are mistaking prejudice with racism.
Everyone is prejudice, meaning they like one thing or their own race better than another.
Racism is hatred and really not as common.
But surely the cross town rivalry isn't prominent in boxing, so it's cross race or nationality for promoting fights.

Re: B. Hopkins: When will Pacquiao fight a Black fighter?
Prejudice is preference.
Racism is hatred.
HUGE difference. Everyone is prejudice, in race, in food, in culture.
Doesn't mean everyone is racist, and hates all other things outside of their preference.
A prejudice is a prejudgment: i.e. an assumption made about someone or something before having adequate knowledge to be able to do so with guaranteed accuracy. The word prejudice is most commonly used to refer to a preconceived judgment toward a people or a person because of race, social class, gender, ethnicity, age, disability, political beliefs, religion, sexual orientation or other personal characteristics. It also means beliefs without knowledge of the facts[1] and may include "any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational influence.
Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.[1] Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination." In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatment.
Racial discrimination typically points out taxonomic differences between different groups of people, although anyone may be discriminated against on an ethnic or cultural basis, independently of their somatic differences. According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnicity discrimination.

Doesn't mean everyone is racist, and hates all other things outside of their preference.
A
prejudice is a prejudgment: i.e. an assumption made about someone or something before having adequate knowledge to be able to do so with guaranteed accuracy. The word
prejudice is most commonly used to refer to a preconceived judgment toward a people or a person because of
race,
social class,
gender,
ethnicity,
age,
disability, political beliefs,
religion, sexual orientation or other personal characteristics. It also means beliefs without knowledge of the facts
[1] and may include "any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational influence.
Racism is the belief that the
genetic factors which constitute
race are a
primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an
inherent superiority of a particular race.
[1] Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination." In the case of
institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatment.
Racial discrimination typically points out
taxonomic differences between different groups of people, although anyone may be discriminated against on an ethnic or cultural basis, independently of their somatic differences. According to the
United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term
racial discrimination and
ethnicity discrimination.
There is some evidence that the meaning of the term has changed over time, and that earlier definitions of racism involved the simple belief that human populations are divided into separate races.

ethnicity, or a history of
endogamy.

LOL... I love this. The way you posted the breakdowns. I was speaking in general context that most of the people who they are trying to sell fights to can't and don't make that distinction. I mean favoring one because of prejudice one thing, but when on the night of those fight racial fights...every slur in the world is used. Then clearly it has grown into something else.
Take Holmes-Cooney for example. The great white hope some called it. Snipers on the buildings during the fight because white supremacist were talking of shooting Holmes. In the general public those words are interchangeable.

luvfightgame is 100% right. Prejudice gets confused with racism, especially on this site, all the time. There are lots of people on here that show a blatant prejudice against British fighters but do not come across as racist.

The article is about how Hopkins says that Pac don't fight top black fighters, as in African Americans with that slick style. You know like the Ray Leonard style that B-Hop was talking about.
BTW, just in case someone brings up Lebwaba and Clottey, they aren't african americans. And I think when B-Hop is talking about a top black fighter, he means black american.
I think you can trace it on Pacquiao's previous fights. In 1998 Pacquiao was not that significant that he was not given a shot at Mark Johnson that he fought Sasakul instead.
The only African American that Pacquiao should have fought was Nate Campbell instead of David Diaz at lightweight. The rest self explanatory.

Right.. but they are using the term incorrectly.
If I say I hate all white fighters and would never cheer for them. That means i'm a racist.
If I say I hate all British fighters and would never cheer for them. That means i'm prejudice towards Brits, because obviously Britsh fighters encompass all different ethnicities.
