Finally, we move onto status and reputation. This is where things get ****y. Barcelona are renowned as the best team in the world following their treble-winning antics of last season. Pacquiao is widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world. These successes are purely down to their own achievements. The Mexicutioner has never dodged an opponent – as proven by the list of illustrious fighters he has faced such as Juan Manuel Marquez, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera and, of course, Miguel Cotto who he destroyed in such devastating fashion 10 days ago.
As for Inter, many people argue that their recent Italian dominance which has seen them win four Scudetti in succession has been more down to a power shift after the Calciopoli scandal that removed and weakened much of the opposition. In the case of Mayweather, the American’s perfect unbeaten record also clouds over reality.
The 32-year-old has been incredibly selective throughout his career, only choosing opponents who were either small (Juan Marquez), old (Oscar De La Hoya, Marquez) or over-rated and over-sold (Ricky Hatton, Arturo Gatti). This has led him to being referred by some as ‘Fraud’ Mayweather. Despite being a Welterweight for so long, Floyd has continuously dodged top-quality fighters such as Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley and Cotto.
