The Impending Pacquiao-Mayweather Fight: The Perfect Match

Despite the recent debacle on Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, millions are still hoping that this fight would happen. Unlike the mega fights that we’ve seen before, this clash seems to have all the ingredients that will make a unique and greatest blockbuster fight of all time. Already, the fight is being anticipated by millions to happen on March 13, 2010, but a slight setback occurred as both parties did not agree to some conditions of the fight.

Let me cite some of the reasons or ingredients why I think this will be the greatest match in boxing ever. First, because it’s a fight between the current and the former pound for pound kings; we know for a fact that before Manny Pacquiao assumed the throne of pound for pound king, Floyd Mayweather was the one holding the scepter. Second, it is a clash between the east and the west; Manny is from the Philippines an eastern region in Asia, while Floyd is from U.S. a western region located in the Americas. Third reason would be, because Manny is the best offensive puncher while Floyd is considered as the best defensive boxer today. Fourth, because it is the battle between good and evil; Manny is perceived as the good because of his charity works back in his home in Philippines and for his no trash-talking reputation. Floyd on the other hand was reported to have spend his millions in night life which includes wine, women and gambling, he is perceived as the bad boy of boxing because he trash-talk his opponents. And lately due to their contrasting answers to recent interviews, Floyd said that he is fighting for himself while Manny said that he is fighting for his fans and country. So we might as well call this as the battle between the "selfish and the selfless".

There you have it folks, five (5) compelling reasons (maybe you can add more) why the Pacquiao-Mayweather clash can be considered as “the perfect fight”; and beside this, we all know that both have legions of followers to ensure the success of this most highly awaited match. Do you know of a fight in the past or in near future with better ingredients such as this one?
