HOT POTATO via HOLLYWOOD, California – No tectonic shift has transpired in recent days in the world of boxing. No insidiousness at all. But, let this be not a healing mix for boxing fans nor a cause of frenzy. Perhaps the revival of the gladiators of the Ancient Days comes to the mind of every boxing fan: the pound-for-pound list of best boxers of the world goes on trial before the entire universe.
Conversely, no denying the shift has shown it has pivoted at the conclusion of Pacquiao vs. Marquez III. There before the eyes of the boxing public, the dynamics of the ranking have gone to sweeping changes, prompting Floyd Mayweather, Jr. to reclaim the mythical pound-for-pound helm and taking Pacquiao down to No. 2. It is expected a discordant flat note from millions of Pacquiao fans would go for a dissenting melody.
And, there’s got to be a tune-up once more.
Not for a fight. Not for lengthy debates. Not for indecent postings of comments against the writers and all. But, for another round table of negotiations between both camps of Mayweather, Jr. and Pacquiao.
