Now that we got all the heavyweights out of the way, we can turn our attention to some real fights. This Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Manny Pacquiao takes on Juan Manuel Marquez for not just featherweight supremacy but for a higher place in the pound-for-pound pantheon. On paper, it looks like one of the premier matchups of recent years.
This bout is also one of the hardest to make a call on.
It’s one of those questions that I continuously flip-flop on, with no definitive answer, like who was better this year, Lebron James or Carmelo Anthony? Who makes me laugh more, Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock?
