Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: Perfect Undercard to Dream Super Fight

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather is the fight that boxing fans one day dream of seeing, yet the potential undercard for that super fight would be one of the most talked about in the history of the sport. 

Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions are the gold standard of boxing organizations. They have the best fighters in the world, including Pacquiao (Top Rank) and Mayweather (Golden Boy), and do the best job of maximizing exposure for their clients. 

If the super fight ever comes to be, it could open the doors for these two promotions to work together, if only for one card, to put on the best pay-per-view in boxing history. 

Here are the undercard fights that we think would make the show perfect. 

Bantamweight Bout: Jorge Arce (60-6-2) vs. Eric Morel (46-3)

Arce has been on a roll since a draw against Lorenzo Parra in 2010, winning five consecutive fights. He Belts. 

Morel did not have a banner performance against Abner Mares in April, but he is still one of the most lethal and efficient bantamweight fighters in the world. 

Even if there is no title on the line, Arce and Morel would be able to put on an excellent performance befitting a pay-per-view opener. They have the fast, quick hands that make for an excellent fight. 

Welterweight Bout: Paulie Malignaggi (31-4) vs. Mike Jones (26-0)

Jones is a rising star in the welterweight division, earning a shot at the vacant IBF welterweight championship against Randall Bailey on the Pacquiao-Bradley card on June 9. He has a powerful punch, though he tends to lose his way when he can't land a hard shot. 

Malignaggi has bounced back nicely following a loss to Amir Khan in 2010. He dominated Miguel Cotto in his second fight after that loss and has shown no signs of slowing down. 

These are two of the brightest stars in the sport who deserve to be put in a prime spot where a lot of eyeballs will be able to see what they are capable of. 

Middleweight Bout: Julio Cesar Chavez (45-0-1) vs. Peter Quillin (26-0)

Of the three fights on the list, this is the one that both parties absolutely should work to make. 

Chavez, even at 26 years old, would enter this fight as the grizzled veteran with the experience and name recognition to get fans hooked on the fight. 

Quillin is two years older but with much less experience. He has come into his own as a fighter following a brilliant performance against Craig McEwan last November, but he still has a lot of work to do before becoming a star. His upcoming bout with Winky Wright could help some, though it won't be enough.
