Can Mayweather Beat Pacquiao?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Just watched the Mayweather - Marquez bout; went the distance but a fairly one-sided fight. Mayweather didn’t seem to have to work that hard to beat Marquez. Hopefully he will fight Manny Pacquiao next. In the past nine months Pacquiao beat Oscar De La Hoya soundly and absolutely destroyed Ricky Hatton. I’ve never even seen boxers in movies get knocked out the way Hatton did. Having just watched this fight, as impressive as Mayweather was, I doubt that either of these guys can beat Pacquiao; he’s simply too quick. So you heard it here first: Pacquiao over Mayweather in six.

A bumper sticker that read:

“Jeter Drinks Wine Coolers”

I have to admit, that’s pretty good.

Pac Man Jones is now a Blue Bomber.

I like the idea of banishing miscreants to Canada. Has a whiff of medievalism about it.

We won’t send you to prison, but instead cast you out, into the snowy blandness of America’s hat.
I’ve watched a few minutes of CFL games on the MSG network in recent weeks but I can’t really get into it. I think part of it is the team names; the Blue Bombers sounds like a Division III college team; the Rough Riders sounds very Brokeback Mountain; and WTF is an “Alouette?”

UPDATE: Looks like Pac Man’s Canadian adventure is over before it began, eh?
