By Alon Calinao Dy: Fight fans originally knew that "The Fight of the Century" belonged to Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier when they'd their first meeting in 1971. Ali and Frazier fought with all their hearts that made "The Thrilla in Manila" an all-time successful event.
Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, have the much-anticipated fight on May 2, who will be the winner of this bout and be named as "The Next Muhammad Ali" of the new era?
Flomos say it is Mayweather because he is undefeated boxer and a whiz in the ring, but Pactards know that the Filipino boxing champ will give the American boxer his first loss.
It is less than a month that we are going to watch these elite boxers in the boxing stadium. It is obvious that the excitement is all over in Las Vegas. Boxing fans want to be part of this history. The new champ of the century will be named between Pacquiao and Mayweather.
Mayweather is really serious and quiet for this fight. It is unusual for Mayweather to act like this as I have known him who has a flamboyant character. This proves that a fight against Pacquiao is the hardest battle that he will encounter for his entire career.
On the other hand, Pacquiao, who has tasted loses and has 57 wins, believes that he is in top condition and can fight Mayweather anytime he wants to. Although the greatest pressure is in Mayweather, the eight-division world champion knows that if he wins this richest fight in history, he can retire as one of the all-time greats in boxing.
Yet, it's hard to predict who will win this competition when you have two pound-for-pound kings in the ring fighting for one crown. Whoever wins or loses in this dream match, the best thing that happens in boxing is to see them fight. Thus, everyone is a winner.
