Thank you Cliff, this is going to be a great series.

Thanks. I wanted to do something that I didn't see everyone else doing and really dig into the stages that lead up to this. It's fun research.

Don't think it was intentional. Some people just get bored with prefight hype. Especially when it takes focus away from other good fights. Personally, I don't pay a lotta attention to prefight hype because it eventually makes me lose interest in the fight.

There's going to be one of these for every year through 2014. Might want to wait for the last time with the stat accumulations.

We are going to be bored with threads upon threads with this two, can't wait for the fight to be over so we can all move on. Frankly am looking forward to Canelo-Kirkland and Thurman-Guerrerro..

it's a much better read than some schmuck reporter taking a single lame quote like 'he started training yesterday' and making an 'article' out of it

Indeed, there are probably quite a few that should bone up a bit on both men.

I am not a sheep. Mayweather and Pacquiao are not fighting to see who is the best of this generation. Pacquiao lost too many times during this generation. If it was Floyd who held all these these losses this would not have been an argument.

Bragging rights over the other man makes more sense. This fight is just what it is, a personal beef between Floyd, Manny, and their minions of fans and haters.

Never thought about that before ... But I think you're right had Floyd had a couple L's on his record it changes everything and this fight isn't as big.

Great article, looking for to the series.

One suggestion (just incase you haven't thought it of already): Can you also put the p4p ranking of the fighters at the time of the fight (if applicable) when you do the notable fights extracts?

Except Manny was KTFO6 by Marquez..!

LOL. You loved that didn't ya? Means more to you than your family, it appears...
