Mayweather vs Pacquiao

[H2O Man]

10. Right.

It's been interesting to see boxing writers attempt to compare it to a "super fight" from the past. It is, however, only like previous "super fights" in that it is unique. It isn't like the "Fight of the Century" between Frazier and Ali for many reasons, yet it will be drawing a similar amount of attention. But it's not two undefeated champions.

Rather than any recent bout, I think that it might come closest to the July 4, 1910 fight between the great Jack Johnson and undefeated former champion Jim Jeffries. In many ways, Floyd is the modern version of Johnson: lots of people despise him, and want to see someone -- anyone -- beat him in the ring. Like Johnson, Mayweather is a defensive genius in the ring ....and rather self-centered outside the ring.

I think it's safe to say that, for at very least 25 years, there will not be a boxing match of this magnitude. Enjoy the fight!
