    2 super powers fighting against each other through a bunch of proxies.

    Just watch.


    I had a big thing kicking around in my head for a huge analogy, but I think you all know what I mean.

    a very good analogy. they would fight other boxers that could represent each other but will not go head-to-head themselves. battling on egos (ideology) instead.

    now move this thread to lounge. :D

    Posturing, threats, boasts... And that's all?

    Yea, it is a bit like that. Except for MAD. They won't both lose if they fight. You'd think fighters of their ability and accomplishments wouldn't fear anyone at the same weight as themselves

    Pacquiao and Mayweather are merely the two biggest pawns in the more important battle for the future of boxing going on between Golden Boy and Top Rank.

    What makes it interesting is how GBP owns The Ring and that belt is seen as the most legit. Will tr guys eventually drop their Ring belts?

    Exactly, They'll never actually fight and the fall will not come from a direct war.

    Doubt it. The minute gbp actually strips someone of a RING belt, they're screwed in the credibility department for real
