Three is the magic number

Trust me No Masians, I love me some El Terrible, but I think holms is in trouble. He looked shot to me in that last Pacquiao fight, and before that there was the Zahir Raheem debacle. I know he didn't train, blah blah blah, but look, Zahir Raheem, despite being a Philly boy who I give all respect, is also a straight-up b-level fighter. If you're Erik Morales and you can't skate past the Zahirs of the world, no matter how much time you been spending in the gym, then you have definitely lost a lot from your glory days, from the days when you whupped up on folks like Barrera and Chavez and Pocket Rocket Wayne McCullough.

So I'm betting this one goes much the same way the last one did, with El Terrible getting some quality work in early but eating a lot of those Pac-Man straight right hands and wearing down quickly. I say Pacquiao gets the stoppage in the eighth.

Lot of talk on ESPN the past few days about where Pac/El Terrible will rank with the great boxing trilogies of all time. Personally, my feelings are... Graziano/Zale it aint. But then son, what is right? What is... Below, the two old battle-axes head down memory lane and narrate their third fight, from back in the days when men were men and sheep were nervous.
