For over 2 years now, the boxing world and even those that don’t follow the sport closely have been craving to see the #1 and #2 best pound for pound fighters in the sport go head to head against one another. To those bent on time with little patience, the over all feeling is to just drop all talks because the fight may never happen.
Wasted breath on a evaporated thought is what many are saying today. Do I want to see the fight happen? Of course I do, I mean who really doesn’t want to see the two best in the sport do battle to see who in fact really is the best in the world. But for the time being we await for May 7 and occupy our attention to Pacquiao vs. Mosley.
After Mosley fought Sergio Mora, no one in their right mind thought that Mosley would ever be in position to be in a big fight ever again. No one except Mosley of course. Mosley knew the steps he needed to take to land the biggest fight out there which forced him to think outside the box. Mosley cut a sharp corner and made a few enemies but at the end of his move, Mosley hit the powerball.
If I am in contact with Mayweather Jr., I do exactly what Mosley has done and treat this as a business move. Do not mention the fight, just step to Floyd and sell it to him as a sales pitch. It is very true that Floyd has the mighty Al Haymon as his manager, but sometimes it takes more than someone who is well connected to get the job done. All the contacts in Haymon’s army don’t have enough strength to build the bridge to get us from here to there.
One must tell Floyd that like it or not, Manny Pacquiao will remain the best fighter in the world today unless you decide to get up and do something about it. Yes, Floyd you may call yourself ”Money” but it is Pacquiao who holds the straw that stirs the drink. Manny Pacquiao is the king of the boxing world, so if you feel different go ahead and step up and knock him off. You must ask yourself this, how are you going to shine while sitting on Pacquiao’s sun?
