    Mayweather-Pacquiao is a rare type of event. Boxing fans rejoice

    A lot of trash talk already from both sides, but people need to take a step back and realize what we have.

    This is two ATGs in their prime.

    This is #1 vs. #2 in the world.

    This never happens.

      props to MP for stepping up the plate to reach PBF's level...

      who wouldve thought of it?

      specially when he was still toiling in asia as a left-handed brawler?

      no benefits of world class trainers in his youth...

      no nutritionists... no big time promoter...

      no olympic medals...

      just pure determination...

                Yeah... not only are they both:

                ATGs
                #1 or #2 depending on how you favour
                Two of the best fighters of the past decade
                The same weight-ish
                But they are also the best offensive and defensive fighters of the past 20yrs.

                This don't happen offen

                  #1 vs #1 really

                  Mayweather never lost to become #2 to anybody so its a unique situation where its Alpha v ALpha.

                  The only other time we had a situation like this was Ali Frazier,

                    That's actually a great comparison because Ali left at the top and returned to fight the new guy.
