By Dami Ademidun: Understanding boxing and how styles make fights, one could come to the realization that despite the arguments for Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao having an equal chance of having their hand raised at the end of a fight between one another, that there may have always been a high chance that a fight between these two men may not be and may never have been a competitive fight if they ever got into the ring, even in 2010.
In regards to the fight of this century as the people of now would call it, this writer believes there has always been a high possibility that this fight would underwhelm once both fighters were under the lights. This in particular would be the case because one of the fighters would likely expose the other in grand fashion. The fight would not be back and forth in terms of who is winning on the cards and likely this is something both fighters know, but cannot predict. It is for this reason above the plethora of others that have accumulated through the years, that these fighters continually refuse to get into the ring with one another while continuing to throw up smokescreens as diversions to delay the fight.
