MANILA, Philippines – International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Lennox
Lewis said it is possible for seven-division champion Manny Pacquiao to hand
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. his first career loss when they clash next year.
The fight remains silence, it can need time to set the real fight, who takes Dollars on Hand, or who is the Loser in the other Hand.
Lewis, a former heavyweight champion, thinks that WBO welterweight champion
Pacquiao (50-3-2, with 38 knockouts) can probably match the “amazing” speed and
defense of the undefeated Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs).
“I'd say that Manny is
one of two guys who have a chance to beat Floyd,” Lewis told Marley of
Examiner.com.
The other fighter is WBA welterweight super champion
Shane Mosley, he noted. “I can't think of anybody else who could even possibly
beat Mayweather,” commented Lewis whose professional record was 41-2-1 (with 32
KOs).
As for the Pacquiao-Mayweather clash, Lewis commented: “It should be a
great thing for boxing when he [Mayweather] and Pacquiao fight.”
The
Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, which is set to take place on March 13, will be
officially announced on January in a press conference in the United
States.
Top Rank Promotions big boss Bob Arum, the promoter of Pacquiao,
confirmed to ABS-CBN News that both fighters agreed on a 50-50 purse split.
