Pacquiao vs Mayweather Countdown begins

December 7, 2008

No one has really taken the Mayweather retirement serious so far, and one has to think “Pretty Boy” realizes his biggest win was just made to look pedestrian.  Boxing heads have wanted another Leonard-Duran for years, forcing the mantle on fights unworthy.Pacquiao was an all-time great before Saturday night on the basis of his accomplishments at Flyweight, Featherweight and Jr. Lightweight as World Champion, the first man ever to post those marks in a single career.  A win over World Champion Ricky Hatton at Jr. Welterweight would give him a claim to being the first man in history to capture four lineal World championships and a sixth overall major divisional title.

A fight of Pacquiao vs Mayweather would give him to chance to push past the brink to outright comparisons with names of a different breed.
