Manny Pacquiao Is Afraid of Black People?

Would a black boxer stand a better chance against Manny Pacquiao than his most recent competition? Bernard Hopkins believes so. And while boxing fans wait -- and wait -- for Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs) and Floyd Mayweather Jr. to finally agree to terms for a fight, Hopkins is asserting that a black fighter's style would give Pacquiao more of a challenge than Antonio Margarito was able to muster against Pacquiao on Saturday night, according to a story on Fanhouse.com. And Hopkins -- who said he's voicing what other black fighters and fight fans are thinking but reluctant to say -- is wondering why Pacquaio hasn't fought Mayweather "or any other top-notch black fighter," according to the report. "Floyd Mayweather would beat Manny Pacquiao because the styles that African-American fighters -- and I mean, black fighters from the streets or the inner cities -- would be successful," said Hopkins, according to Fanhouse.com. "I think Floyd Mayweather would pot-shot Pacquiao and bust him up in between the four-to-five punches that Pacquiao throws and then set him up later on down the line." Pacquaio fought and defeated Joshua Clottey of Ghana earlier this year, but Hopkins discounted that win, saying "Clottey is 'black,' but not a 'black boxer' from the states with a slick style." The Pacquiao and Mayweather camps have twice tried and failed to set up a fight between the two, despite predictions it would become the most lucrative bout ever. The first set of talks broke down in part over disagreements about Olympic-style drug testing.

Something tells me Bernard Hopkins has been hit a few too many times in the head and is just a little jealous because he never reached the success Pacquiao has.  I mean how many good black boxers are out there besides Mayweather? And he's too much of a pussy to fight Pac-man so who's left? The Mexicans are the only ones who have the balls to step up to the ring to fight Manny. He beat Clottey last year who's black but because he's from Ghana he doesn't as street black? So Bernard Hopkins now has ruling over who's black and who isn't black. Ok. Keep talking, bro. Just because you're over the hill doesn't mean you get to take shots at whoever you want because you can't fight anymore. I'm pretty sure Pacquiao would fight Tyson and beat his ass if you put him in front of him. Dude has no fear what so ever.
