    Thank you for a reasonable post. I hate the whole race angle people love to bring up. Was listening to fox sports radio last night and several callers where irate callers claiming people tear down mayweather because he is black. Ummm okkk

    Also agree pacquiao is not the karaoke smiling saint either. He had his fair share of infidelity issues

    Huh? Floyd has credibility to game, he is widely considered as ducking PAC MAN, so his legacy is at stake.. A 50/50 split is fair.. It isn't about the money or drug testing or anything other than the fact that Floyd does not want to fight him.

    No, it is pretty much split down the middle.

    Floyd won about 8 or 9 rounds against a determined Cotto at a high weight with ten ounce gloves and what seemed like a small ring. Impressive performance.

    Wake up bro, Black Athletes are always the most hated especially in America. This is common knowledge. The American media and the majority of their fans has shown time over time they will favor other races of different countries over black american athletes.

    If the media is gonna keep trashing our dominant athletes. Cam Newton, LeBron, Jon Jones, and Mayweather etc. Then Black People will defend them, its that simple

    Floyd is the betting favorite, would it be close a fight


    Mayweather is getting up in age. A few years ago Mayweather dominates Pac, today Pac has a punchers chance againist this version of Mayweather

    I feel there is some resentment of the guys who show off money but even then racism is not the tremendous problem it was in the 60's and before.

    Floyd doesn't need the fight for his legacy. He's one of the all time greats with or without Manny. Wins over 11 World Title fighters in 5 or 6 different weight classifications is plenty for his legacy. Even if (when) he beats Manny, you still can't call Floyd the definitive GOAT with the likes of Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep, Henry Armstrong, Joe Louis etc. One of the greatest sure, but in most people's opinion he is already there with or without a win over Manny.

    Please go to deep on that issue -- I await your profound views with bated breath.

    Real talk! I would personally put him at #3 behind Sugar Ray Robinson and Ali.

    LOLatsoccer and Obamafan two of worst posters of all time.

    I voted for Obama last election but people like you make me want to vote for someone else. You make me cringe.
