Forget about Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao vs Floyd "Money" Mayweather: Three dream matchup that guaranteed fireworks

Boxing was overshadowed by the drama of a fight that everyone is itching to watch. If you are going to look into it, as if there is no other exciting match-up inside boxing.

As much as we love this fight to materialize, but we must not forget that there are equally more exciting yet not hyped match-up or no one imagine that it will happen but is very exciting to think. It is not only Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather who has the ability to excite fans and can put back their money's worth.

Here are my below dream match-up that might create fireworks and action from start till end.

Chad Dawson 30-1-0 (17 KOs) vs Sergio Martinez 48-2-2 (27 KOs) - Though Martinez would like to fight either Pacquaio and Mayweather he deserves to fight worthy opponent like Dawson who has the skill and ability to bring out each one best.

Kazuto Ioka  9-0-0 (6 KOs) vs Denver Cuello 29-4-6 (19 KOs) - A fight between this two fast and ferocious fighter is sure bomb shelling. Both young and have a surging forward style that will only stop until only one man standing.

Humberto Sotto 57-7-2 (34 KOs) vs Brandon Rios 29-0-1 (22 KOs) -This match up must be action packed from the beginning towards the end as Rios never back-down style will entice Sotto to trade punch by punch.

Batman and Robin of Boxing: Pacman and the Filipino Flash

A lot of aspiring and up and coming boxer who dream to be on the pacman status right now. But it is not easy to become where pacman in the place of boxing. This is because pacman is considered as the batman of boxing.

But who is Robin?

In my own opinion that is no other than the “Filipino Flash” Nonito Donaire. Right now there is no other Filipino boxer that may close to Manny in terms of popularity and achievement.

However, what makes a hero a hero is the villain.

 
Now, who is the perfect villain for you? :)
