By Saqib Khan: I know boxing fans say Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao is the biggest fight, which I agree, but in terms of building up to a fight this would be the mother of all fights. The press conferences the stare downs the tension would be crazy.
In a way Mayweather would have a twin who is as just as confident and talks up the trash as he does, Mayweather wouldn’t be able to use money to get to Naseem Hamed (36-1, 31 KO’s) he has his array of sports cars and mansions .
The episodes would be full of drama, each fighter trying to get one over each other. HBO wouldn’t need to market this fight as both fighters know all the tricks in the book; the pay-per-view numbers would break all records.
One thing the prince would have over Mayweather would be the ring entrances; he would certainly do a ring entrance that would outshine Mayweather. Naz coming in the ring in jumbo jet or something stupid and Mayweather in a spaceship it’s crazy the possibilities, this fight could be billed as the battle of entrances.
At the end of the day, the business would be dealt in the ring and there would be one winner and that winner would be Floyd Mayweather Jnr, he would probably outbox Naz for twelve rounds, he would encounter problems in the fight as Naz was a big puncher at feather weight.
I think boxing is missing sports personalities like these. Fighters like Marco Antonio Barrera, Pacquiao, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez don’t do enough talking but do their talking in their ring that’s good but we need characters in boxing which can cause excitement and controversy. I wish these boxers were around in the same era in the same weight class a prime NAZ vs prime Mayweather. What do you think?
