    Manny isn't scared of fighting anybody his promoter asks him too anyway...

    "Who do you want next Manny"

    "Speak to my promoter, I'm just doingk my job"

    I get the feeling that he's quite happily steered...

    I think in boxing "black" and "slick" are coupled but he did fight clottey who is a true "african american" floyd was born in Michigan..last I checked it's apart of the united states which makes him American..not african, come to think of it hell both his parents were born in the states too....

    I think his handlers have kept him away from slick fighters until they felt he was ready to face the best which is floyd. The drug test shit is a bit fishy though. Even if floyd did somehow pull this out of his ass, if manny is clean why not take it?

    I also have a theory ....... the Pacman has also never fought a Welshman from Porthcawl. Clearly, he is therefore living in mortal fear of ever having to meet one.

    I don't think any fighter is scared of any other guy or they wouldn't be in this buisness in the first place. Black fighters hit and get hit just like any other guy. Any time race is brought into this sport for any reason it usually is due to a lack of boxing knowledge in general. Why would manny be scared of anyone ? All the scared, ducking talk reguardless of the fighter is usually from fans mainly those willing to tell others how to play thier sport instead of playing one of thier own. Boxing is what it is. In a perfect world the no guy would always fight the no 2 guy but that just aint how it is unfortunatly. There's money, promoters, and a whole slew of shady people that have to agree to get these fights we want. If any of us were fighters we'd be doing the same thing cause you really don't have a choice. Fighters on any level are some of the bravest althleats there are, easy to say do this do that fight him fight that guy, sitting up in the stands.

    This reply might be inappropriate but pls let me.


    Kevin Kelley just got dominated by Marco Antonio Barrera before Barrera himself got massacred by Pacquiao.

    Derrick Gainer Ran, ran, ran, and ran from Juan Manuel Marquez in losing his strap before Pacquiao and JMM settled for a draw.

    Mark Johnson is too small for 122.

    Freddie Norwood went hiding for 6 years (2000-2006) after losing to Gainer






    Pacquiao fighting these 4 instead of Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez and Oscar Larios ? That would be an enigmatic decision.

    What about fighting Erik Morales after Zahir Raheem outboxed him silly over 12? They turned the Raheem fight down. I'm sure Pac is scared of no one but styles do make fights and a slick boxer is the worst matchup for Pac's style. I'm sure Freddie Roach is aware of that. High risk low reward. This is merely a business move. Its the style not the race. It has nothing to do with being scared though. Every fighter has a bad style matchup.

    I think they have done their best to keep Manny away from the slick style associated with african american boxers, but I think only FLoyd Mayweather is really good enough to exploit it against Manny who would beat pretty much anyone else. However I think Manny has had troubles with taller, slicker boxers Jorge Solis was the closest guy to that style, and he gave Manny all kinds of problems getting in, and he wasn't even close to the best guy at the style. One other thing is that slick american boxers take better, sharper angles than Manny, they are quick themselves, and they can fight on the inside which is a huge hole in Manny's game that most can't exploit because his footwork is usually too fast, and he is too powerful and explosive to keep on the ropes for most guys, but I think a good defensive tactician could really control the pace with Manny just the way Marquez often did in their encounters.

    The funnier thing is a lot of people don't know that Manny is a slick boxer too. It is now one of his new arsenals.
