Narrator: A man once said that a boxing ring is the centre of the universe. If you don't find yourself inside it, then you never really existed to begin with. And in a boxing ring, like the uncertain darkness, stars will gravitate and eventually collide.
One is recognised by many fans as the pound for pound champion of the sport. Fillipino native, Manny Pacquiao, coming off of his twelve round domination of Mexican icon, Antonio Margarito.
Pacquiao fires on Margarito. Thunderous crowd.
One is a former champion hoping to roll the die on the Las Vegas strip one more time.
Sugar Shane Mosley, a three weight world champion from Pamona, California was recognised among the top welterweights in the world.
Cut to:
Earlier this year, he challenged one of the very best fighters in the world, Floyd Mayweather Jr...and he almost struck fortune.
Cut to:
Mayweather's spaghetti legs. The crowd erupts.
But in a September return to the ring, Mosley looked lethargic against the bigger and elusive Sergio Mora.
Shane Mosley: 'Yeah, that was a bad night for me. He's tall (laughs). He's a tall guy. But I thought I did enough to win that fight. HBO did too. The fans too.'
The fight was declared a draw, but the decision would be disputed.
Freddie Roach: 'I thought Shane won that fight. How do you win a fight by running around the ring? Come on. That's crazy.'
They are two fighters whose stars have burned brightly. In the eyes of fans, one star is fading, while the other sears in its prime. But beyond all the hype and drama, in the darkness of the boxing ring, one thing is certain...the two stars will turn and eventually collide. And in that one defining moment, both fighters can only hope to find their meaning.
Four weeks.
