Would a win by Floyd over Shane make him equal or even surpass Pac's resume?
Well, I did say over the past five years. It would be an impressive win, but Cotto arguably got to Mosley already. I do think the Cotto/Mosley fight was very close though and it could have gone either way.
Manny had the clear opportunity to make his legacy and turned his nose up at the idea of a fair and equal drug testing procedure. No matter what Manny does from here on out, his legacy is seriously tarnished by his inability to face Mayweather. Manny has the better resume but he has done himself in by chickening out of the Mayweather fight.
I think we will see some of the fallout in the Pac/Clottey PPV figures.
I think another factor that will effect those PPV figures is the fact that they are trying to get Margarito back on the card. For me personally I usually buy the big PPVs, and my decision to get this one or not lies strictly with the fact of Margarito gets on it or not. I know I'm not in the majority on this, but I'm not alone either.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
