It is a 50-50 indeed. I don't say Pac with any real confidence. But I just have a feeling. I feel as if Pacquiao is destined for serious OAT greatness. And I think Roach has the magic tactical touch that could make the difference.
Then it is settled. I will use the term "awesomeizationism" only in reference to Pacquiao and Hopkins. A win over Mayweather would do that, top 20 for sure. Unless of course JMM derails those plans and beats Floyd. Then Marquez would be the pinnacle of awesomeizationism.
