Good versus evil; Offense versus defense
Pacquiao rocks his Nikes to rock and scramble his adversaries, while Mayweather dances on his Reeboks to rock his opponents' psyches- like a lullaby to sleep.
You get frustrated, tired of it, after a while you submit.
One is a crowd pleaser, the other pleases the connoisseurs- together with those who pretend to be such.
A hero that can end all anarchy with one blow; against a villain that plots of world domination patiently waiting for his schemes to hatch and come to fruition
Pacquiao is every much offensive as Mayweather is defensive.
One is reflective and deflects all glory to his country and his faith, while the other battles his demons and wonders further greatness if he was born another race.
The braggart versus the humble hero.
Humility versus embracing and yearning for celebrity.
So much difference yet in ways the same.
And you can start by recognizing their status as the clear cut cream of the crop simply on top of the game.
As one chases, the other gives chase. Two egos battling for a bigger piece of the pie, longing to be considered as the one true great.
Boxing has been lingering in mediocrity for quite some time now.
Promoters have done quite a job selling us fights and selling us hype.
This one however needs no selling. This one is the reason God created boxing.
Don't take it from us, we deserve to see greatness. Just like how our grandparents and old boxing scribes tell us of Frazier and Ali of ancient times, it's our time to have something to tell our grandkids we witnessed a spectacle of that special kind.
For once, let it not be about the fighters. Let it not be about the sport and the money to be made by it's promoters.
"Boxing", YOU owe us this much for sticking with you when many have said you've been dead for a long time.
If not now, when? Let this not be a tragedy of greed like Jones and Hopkins.
To put it succinctly, make Pacquiao vs. Mayweather happen.
