Let's get ESB's take. :think NO suggestions for sixth inclusions! The point is to compare the results on the exact options in this poll to the more "casual" fanbase that's likely be responding on HBO's website.
Shane Mosley/Andre Berto (Winner) Vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Easier to make & the winner would demand the attention from Sat's fight)
I'm actually torn between my legitimate pick (Mosley vs. Mayweather) and my silly pipe dream pick (Klitschko vs. Klitschko). :!: :yep
Floyd vs pac will be a horrible fight great on paper but horrible to see pac will get schooled like JMM did so. Mosley vs Cotto will be a lot better for the fans.
Here's what HBO.com looks like so far: What fight would you most like to see happen in 2010? Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao 71% Bernard Hopkins vs. Roy Jones Jr. 3% Shane Mosley vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. 19% Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa 4% Vitali Klitschko vs. Wladimir Klitschko 4% 2 and 4 don't even belong on the list.
I think Floyd/Pac would top Floyd/ODLH in PPV buys and I also think it would be exciting to watch. If pac wins, this fight must happen.
Mosley / Mayweather, definitely. I think Mayweather / Pac would be a horrible fight. As said earlier, good on paper, bad on television...
Is Wlad vs. Vitali just getting bypassed because it's unrealistic? It's supposed to be what you'd like to see, not what like out of what you think might happen. Who wouldn't be intrigued (or willing to shell out $50+) for that? :think My vote went to Mayweather-Mosley but by a scant ballhair.
Mayweather-Pac. Mayweather-Mosley would be good also but May-Pac would be huge worldwide especially if Pac destroys Cotto. I don't want see Wlad vs Vitali though, that would be a god awful fight, no one is going for the kill. It would just be a spar.
Even though Pacman vs Mayweather is a monumental match of ATG proportions. Klitschko vs Klitschko would be to intriguing to pass up!! Also we'd get an undisputed, linear, legit heavyweight world champion.
