I write this article for the minority of hardcore boxing fans and Manny Pacquiao enthusiasts who still believe there is unfinished business between him and Floyd Mayweather Jr., and questions still to be answered. The only way to get the answer is by these two fighters meeting within the squared circle. Firstly this is not going to be an article that analyses the business side of this match up. We all have our opinions about promotional companies and the big wigs behind the scenes. Let me make this clear; no fans including myself have the right or insight to make bold statements about what a Mayweather-Pacquiao match up would make, gate revenue, pay-per-view revenue, fighter’s purses, promotional negotiations or loop-holes that cause difficulty in making this fight. We are not promoters and we are not involved in the business side of this sport, and you and I will never know details of this magnitude, never. It is widely known I am a huge Mayweather Jr. fan and, yes, I believe he is the greatest boxer of all time without question. That said, I love the sport and respect any fighter who enters the ring. I also like a good toe to toe war. When I write articles based on Mayweather and his opponents, I write facts with a few opinions thrown in based on what I’ve seen with my own eyes, regarding styles, footwork, ability and experience. I told you all at Boxingnews24 that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez would be one of Mayweather’s easiest fights, yet you didn’t believe me and now we have the same fans that had so much hope in the Mexican making comments like “Alvarez was chosen because he was tailor made for Floyd” and so on. Alvarez didn’t look slow against Austin Trout last April. In fact, I recall Trout saying Alvarez is deceptively quick and quite elusive. Mayweather’s critics are blinded because their sole focus is on his personality and base their opinions on him as a man. I have no problem with that and I’m sure Mayweather won’t either, but don’t act like you understand boxing and give, quite frankly, absurd reasons why Mayweather hasn’t been beat.
