Mayweather Vs Pacquiao May 2nd, 2015- The Battle of Great Champions.. My take..

Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao , May 2, 2015- The Battle of Great Champions - MY take..
  First of all , finally , we get these two great champion's meet! Its about 5- 6 years later than we wanted but at least something right? Its like Van Halen 5- or 6 years ago compared to today.. Its a great show , because of their charisma and charm, but the speed , accuracy and electricity is not as hot,, if it were years ago.. But you can't go back in time so enjoy what we have?
  Mayweather is one of the greatest defensive fighters of this or any era. I mean, his ability to slip and move and move his head to avoid punches,, is ala Muhammad Ali,, I know his arrogance , his trash talking his bravado is nauseating , but guess what? He's a undefeated fighter ,, I know,, he can pick and choose who he fights, where he wants to fight and etc. Unlike team sports, sooner or later your gonna face everyone,,In boxing,, you can avoid fighters,, not saying he has, but it just makes you wonder why wait so long to make the greatest fight possible in Boxing?
  My reasons :

Number one reason,, He wanted this fight to be a mega fight, he wanted the fans to yearn for this fight, I know it was a gamble , but according to sports reports, the pay per view buys and the arena tickets have been maddening.. I have to give credit to Floyd, he knows business, and he knows how to be a showman,, that's why they call boxing at times a show business.. sure its part sports, its part spectacle, entertainment , the show,, but bottom lme, these guys do it for the momney $$ Even Pacquiao, I know he's a born  again christian, faith ful husband, charitable citizen, but he had a past of womanining , drinking , gambling, etc.. Now Mayweathers past is not as sinful? Other than  altercations with wifeand or girlfriend.. But based on readings  on him, he's a dedicated machine to boxing, he loves to work out and keeps in shape,, While Pacman,, when not fighting, loves to eat the greasy , but tasty Filipino foods and drink mass amounts of liquor.. Now theirs nothing wrong with that? I mean alot of us do that watching his fights , or other sports events,, Perhaps that appeal we have for him.. is why he so loved!!He has  a  people's champion  aura about him..!?!

The next reason Mayweather waited to make this fight happen, Pacquiao will be his worst eenmy, he will lose interest get frustrated waiting,, and it happened.. twice,. His loss to Bradley,, though controversial,, and the Marquez knockout. I know , he was winning hat fight,, but he made a crucial mistake and paid for it by not only getting knocked out, by damaging his image and perception to the boxing world,, Mayweather must have been ecstatic,, that pacman hurt is image and his brain cells,,

Mayweather thinking based on how Manny fights , he will wear himself out , he will lose faith and he will become vulnerable,, all of those things panned out.. And when he saw Pacman beat up a rank amateur in Algieri , I'm sure he was even more confident,,, Why? Because Algieri is a rank amateur with alot of physical conditioning , but in reality and honesty, he had no right to be in the ring with a great champion,, But Mayweather saw it , and liked what he saw,, Which was a aging fighter struggle to catch up to a young algieri,, Sure many knock downs, but Manny failed to finish a fighter that was ready to go,, at anytime,,, ?

These Mayweathers tricks , so to speak, paid off. Manny has gotten older , slower, less confident and exposed his weakness, which is cutting off the ring, and finishing a wounded fighter. Great strategy for mayweather and it could very well make the difference in the " Big Fight!" ? 

Mayweather never enters a fight unless he knows he going to win, and based on all the past scenarios he feels its now or never ...and is training like no other time in his career, Chopping wood, sparring tough fighters and keeping quiet,, ??He's focused , he's ready and he's undefeated ,, those are things very few fighters have attained,, The closest was the great champion, lLarry Hilmes,, 47-0 before losing twice to spinks and getting knocked out by a Young and hungry Mike Tyson.. I applaud Floyd,, he's id very careful about what he does,, and come fight night,,, All the years of waiting will finally come into play, .. Rocky Marciano is the only Champion in boxing to retire undefeated 49-0 , but get this he only fought in a 5-6 year fight career? He was a fighting machine during his time.. 

Now Pacman.. There is no denying I'm a great pacman fan, I have seen many of his fights in person, and I have the ticket stubs and paintings sold at his fights,,, But I also feel  pacman , is looking at this fight as just another fight.? He's doing the same things that got him there. tough hard sparring,, incredible workouts emphasizing speed and power and endurance,.. and why not? The things he has done over the 20 plus years of boxing has worked most of the tine,, But now he;s fighting a totally different fighter in Floyd,, I know floyd is fancy dancing fighter with no power,, that's not true,, early in floyds career he was a knock out machine,, until he got clocked by castillo and judah.. those fights made him realize,, going toe to toe may excite the fan base, but doesn't help your face or brain cells,, so ,, he decided to use his God -given talents and be elusive - defensive fighter and become a villain , so people will pay to watch him lose,, !? Creative  and genius marketing strategy,, and it has worked,,!?!? While pacman , wanted to be fan pleaser and fight these wars,, and based on experience,, wars wear you down,, it makes you feel your own mortality,, but he is a warrior and warriors , even when they are out gunned or out skilled still want to fight.. That's why Manny will do his best , and give it his all,, But my question,, ?!? Have the many wars with Barrera(twice), Morales,(3 times) Marquez( 4 times )  , Bradley( 2)  finally have its toll. I mean,, Boxing is a truth serum.. when fight night comes upon them.. Will the years of wars and attrition in the gym and in big fights finally come into play,, As a fan,. I pray and hope he has that one more big fight.. But stats and trends tell me.. He ,Manny or Floyd,, I dont count the cheap shot knockout...) Manny hasn't knock out any one in years and when he had a chance against a game but out classed fighter , he failed to do it. ? Now,, Can he do it to a fighter that has never been knocked out .. That's the million dollar question.. ??The experts say no..But the many fans and followers of Pacman,, they say yes,, and to be honest,,Even Las Vegas calls this a Pick em fight??!,, and well they should have,, We are going to see two great champion's finally show case their talents and skills and finally answer the question,, Who is the best pound for pound fighter in boxing,,, ? 
The elusive defensive minded fighter with great marketing and self promotion skills , or the crowd pleasing , daring ,gambling warrior who wants to be known as one of the greats in boxing,, That's why this is a intriguing fight and one that has touched the many hearts and minds out there,, My prediction,, I see a classic fight of puncher vs boxer..!! but the roles may be reversed? That's my next blog..How they will fight one another.??. Have a great day and thanks for reading my sports blogs!!
