MICHAEL MARLEY'S PHILIPPINES DIARY, PART 4
DATELINE, GENERAL SANTOS CITY
7 Things That Will Not Be Proven Or Disproven As Mosley-Mayweather Fight Unfolds:
1.No matter how this bout turns out, the Number One certainty is that, until anyone beats him in the ring and not at the ballot box, Manny Pacquiao remains the Pound For Pound king. The winner in Vegas is either Mayweather remaining Numero Dos or Mosley elbowing his way into that runnerup slot.
2.Whether Naazim Richardson is one of the top tier trainers extant. He could well be but it would be unfair to dump on him should his 38 year old horse run second to Thoroughbred Mayweather.
3.Unless this bout is exciting, Mayweather will retain his title (see illsutration) as “The Face of Boring.”
4.That Kenny Bayless is NOT the top referee in all of boxing. If he made 10 key mistakes in this bout, Bayless would retain his own, unofficial “title.” He is smoother than melted butter.
5.That Mayweather really, in his heart of hearts, wants to fight Pacquiao. Instead of telling Manny to bring it on in the wake of victory, expect Mayweather to go on another mind-numbing speech about how he wants to clean up the sport, make it drug free, blah, blah, blah. The public has long ago tuned Money May out on this broken record topic.
6.We will get a gauge as to who is a tougher opponent, Mosley for Mayweather or political rival and slick billionaire Roy Chiongbian for Pacman in Sarangani.
7.That a valiant albeit losing effort might still yield worthy foe Mosley a Pacman payday. There is real affection for Mosley within Manny's Inner Circle as opposed to Mayweather's “Gossip Girl” persona.
