Occasionally in Boxing we are lucky enough to witness a generation defining contest, a contest that transcends the level of importance associated with even the biggest of title fights. These fights are of such a weight that their magnitude reverberates in the realms of civilisation for decades to come.
La Motta v Robinson, Ali v Foreman, Ali v Frazier, Hagler v Hearns, all of these fights live outside the category of boxing matches, they belong in the pantheon of legendary sporting events. If Pacquaio and Mayweather masses were to collide it would be the greatest boxing event of the last 20 years and one of the greatest sporting events of the decade.
Pacquiao is a noble and humble champion, fearless and determined, he represents the people. Mayweather is undoubtedly the most skillful boxer of our generation, slick and flashy, he is the epitome of a modern number one athlete.
Let's hope 2009 is the year in which these two figures write another sporting epic in the sqaure ring.
P4P#1 baby..............of their generation................**** Arum if he messes this up..................
