    Ali made the name of the fight important.
    Never been the same since he left.

    You don't say "ali and foreman" you say "the rumble in the jungle"
    Who the hell is gonna say "remember the who u pickin?"

    Schaefer: "Ok Oscar, we gotta come up with a name for this fight"
    Oscar: "Ok lets think"
    Schaefer: "Who do you think will win this fight?"
    Oscar: "I'm sorry richard what did you say?"
    Schaefer: "Who are you picking?"
    Oscar: "Genius!!!!! Richard you have done it again!!" (walking out the door ecstatic)
    Schaefer: thinks to himself [what a moron, I hate my life]

    There is going to be an unusually high amount of sponsorship involved with this fight (sponsors involved will be promoting this fight at a higher rate then most fights) when these sponsors decided to activate (put into action any promotions or ideas they have), it will get the fans involved in a way that we have never seen before or atleast not in this generation. I expect there to be a lot of "who r u picking" rallies, votes, celebrity votes, events and things like this. By the time the fight comes around you will have an army of floyd mayweather fans who have generated their own hype vs a army of shane mosley fans who have generated their own hype, amounting to a BIG ASS HYPE MACHINE to make everyone want to see this fight.

    Golden boy....if you recall some of the MASSIVE advertisement for the "DREAM FIGHT" between Floyd and Oscar the commercials would ask all the different people who made up the commercial "who are you picking?"...and some would say Floyd others would say DLH. When I heard the name of this fight I immediatley thought GBP came up with that bull****.
