Boxing superstars Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are primed for a blockbuster collision that will put boxing back on the front pages. This matchup has struck a chord with fans.
Pacquiao-Mayweather has it all: two charismatic and dominant fighters, bad blood, and incredibly high stakes. The winner of this fight puts an undeniable stamp of greatness on his career that places him in rarified air.
Manny Pacquiao was having an awesome career, but then managed to somehow kick it into yet another gear over the past two years. As recently as 2008, he was struggling with Juan Manuel Marquez in a junior lightweight bout.
Mayweather was retired for about 2 years while Pacquiao became the best in the sport. Since returning, he has been absolutely masterful in dissecting Marquez and Shane Mosley. He is boxing in terrific form.
