MAYWEATHER'S LEGACY ON THE LINE posted on 12/23/2009

By Edwin Ladaga

Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter, has issued an ultimatum in less than 24 hours to drop Mayweather's demand on Olympic style testing or the highly anticipated boxing clash between Pacquiao and Floyd Jr. will not happen.

Pacquiao has proven time and againt that he is a fighter who fights quality opponents like Barerra, Morales, Hatton and Cotto. The same cannot be said of Mayweather, who is known for ducking elite fighters like Mosley and Margarito.

Mayweather needs the Pacquiao fight badly in order to silence his critics. Beating an elite fighter in his prime would solidify Floyd's claim that he is the best in his generation.

HEADLINES ABOUT PACQUIAO REFUSING TO TAKE A BLOOD TEST ARE MISLEADING!! posted on 12/23/2009
By Oliver Suarez

In an article by Steve Kim for MaxBoxing, Bob Arum said "We’re willing to do all kinds of urine analysis. We’re willing to do blood testing before the last press conference and after the fight."


Pacquiao and his team are open to taking a blood test but not right before the fight. So the headlines about Pacquiao refusing to take a blood test are misleading.

Pacquiao vs Mayweather: Who should be on the undercards?? Read what boxing insiders say posted on 12/22/2009

 By Oliver Suarez

 The Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Jr. bout is one of the most anticipated fights in recent years. It can be argued that a fight of this magnitude has not happened since the days of the four horsemen (Hagler, Duran, Hearns, and Leonard) when bouts between elite fighters were more common.
 
As a result, it is fitting that this bout should include excellent undercards. This is the perfect fight for boxing to go back to its roots. The days when undercards often included title fights and featured other great boxers.

Boxing has experienced a renaissance in the last two years and the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Jr. bout has a chance to put boxing back where it used to be.  In the front pages of the sport sections and main topics of discussion in sports shows.

Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.: Has There Ever Been A Fight Like This Before?? posted on 12/21/2009
 By Oliver Suarez
  Although it is not etched in stone yet, the probability of the most anticipated fight since Oscar De La Hoya vs. Felix Trinidad happening is very good, according to recent reports.
There have been a number of great fights throughout the years, but few come close to the drama and storylines that this fight provides.
I can’t remember a fight of this magnitude, involving two fighters who are so different from each other in so many aspects. You have arguably the most arrogant and talkative fighter facing the most humble fighter in the sport.

Also, has there ever been a bout between the best defensive fighter and most feared offensive fighter who are both also considered as the best pound for pound fighter? The matchup that

Roy Jones: Great Skills And Greatest Triumph Are Greatest Downfall!! posted on 12/21/2009

By Oliver Suarez

Those who had the privilege to watch Roy Jones Jr. during his prime will tell you what a fighting specimen he was. In between Sugar Ray Leonard and Floyd Mayweather Jr. there was Roy Jones, holding the mantle as the most complete fighter during his prime.

He had the intimidation factor, speed, quickness, and tremendous power with both hands. His only weakness may have been his defense and fundamentals, and only because we never knew how good they were.

He was never easy to hit, but too often relied on his quickness, and his opponents’ hesitancy to pull the trigger in fear of being countered, as his main defensive strategies.
