Of course.

I was just a snot-nosed kid when Trinidad and Vargas did battle in the ring -- but even then -- I knew I was witnessing greatness.

People would ask for an immediate rematch and it would be the most anticipated event of the fall of 2015.

Mayweather boxes, moves around a lot, and clinches a lot. He only fights in short spurts.

Basically he comes to box.

But guys like Fernando Vargas and Tito Trinidad... They come to fight -- fight to the bitter end.

It'd be 5.6 million upset Mexicans rather than 5.6 million upset Pinoys.

Casuals would have had multiple orgasms.

7 million buys? That would set the bar so high.

Fall of 2015?

After engaging in that type of war... very brutal and destructive... I think they would need at least a year off to heal. Mayweather-Pacquiao 2 June 2016!

That makes no sense. Why are you bringing race into this? Don't answer that; I know you're a trolling asshole, racist flomo.
