By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Gentlemen:
Good day, sirs. I hope all is well where you are.
First off, pardon the interruption. I know I don’t have a formal appointment and you probably weren’t expecting a note.
But for lack of a better term, you may consider this an initial and emphatic ****ing of a potentially recurring Tuesday drum.
The only fight that matters … the only fight I want to see … the only fight that either of you should spend more than cursory time working on for the remainder of 2011 – is now clear.
Sergio Martinez needs to fight Manny Pacquiao.
Today. Tomorrow. Next week. At sundown on the first Monday in October.
I really don’t care.
The specifics aren’t important. The details are immaterial. I’ll leave those to your minions who make far more than I do to suffer headaches.
Migraines are not resident to my pay grade.
The only vital issue is that the best active fighter in the world – Pacquiao or Martinez, take your pick – meets the second-best active fighter in the world, Martinez or Pacquiao, take your pick, in a 20x20-ish ring with four strong ropes and a referee … sometime before this year becomes next.
As charters of their promotional courses, only you two can make it happen.
And based on what’s elsewhere in your stables, it’s clearly the best option for you both.
Side note: For those reading along who still insist Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the best or second-best fighter in the world … too bad. After 10 months on the shelf for whatever reason – legal, personal, juvenile, etc. – it’s time to move on to something else. If he wants to fight the winner to kick off 2012 … terrific.
If not, let him fight the lead cop at the nearest shopping mall for bragging rights.
Either way, I’ve waited for “Money” long enough.
Anyway Bob, for Pacquiao’s side of things, the credentials to have a role in the year’s biggest event go without saying.
His routs of Margarito and Clottey in 2010 weren’t quite as impressive as the Cotto/Hatton blowouts of a year prior, but your dynamic Filipino charge has surely prolonged a roll that again warrants significant financial windfall. [Click Here To Read More]
