Originally from Seattle, but living in the ACC-hoops crazy South, I still root for the M's, Seahawks, Cougs, and Super Sonics (past tense), when not trying to score a ticket to Duke-Carolina, Wake-Maryland, or flying across country for an NCAA tournament. Spent some time in the ring, I have a fondness for the sweet science and a good MMA fight.
My writing influences: Steve Kelly (Seattle Times), Bill Simmons (from my time in Providence, RI), FX Toole, Davis Miller, George Plimpton, George Vecsey, and Peter Bacho.
Likes: the rare supremely gifted athlete that actually plays hard.
Dislikes: the punk athlete.

If Mayweather can gain 15 lbs of muscle, why can't Pacquiao?

I do think this fight will happen. Even if Mayweather is concerned about a blemish on his perfect record (which I do NOT think he is),...
The only way I see this fight happening is on a video game!
Bert Castilllo replied…
Why not Mayweather?
Cliff Eastham replied…
Why not Pacman?
Good article. I think that's something (Pacquiao's ring smarts) that get overlooked.

Definitely, he wouldnt be where is he is today if he was just a one dimensional...
In Manila for Pacquiao's last fight. Thrilla in Manilla II http://bleacherreport.com/articles/297327-dont-underestimate-pacquiaos-ring-iq

DeleteThanks for the support B/B! All sports towns go through down cycles, but this year seems especially bad for Seattle, particularly with the Sonics being gone. I haven't read an NBA article or watched a game all year...
Nice to have you on board!
