Boxing fanatics in the world, including two-division world titlist Donnie “Ahas” Nietes, are eager to see Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. slug it out inside the ring to see who is the better fighter between them.

Nietes, who was in Bacolod City Saturday with Murcia Mayor Andrew Montelibano, told reporters that while his heart picks Pacquiao as the winner should the two fighters eventually clash, his mind says it will be Mayweather who will dominate the fight.

The former WBO minimum weight champion and current No. 1 light flyweight fighter in the boxing industry, said that Pacquiao has the speed, strength, and power punches, but Mayweather is more skillful, more agile and can easily read and evaluate his opponent’s move inside the ring.

He said the eventual fight between these two boxers can be labeled as the ultimate fight in boxing.

Nietes recently sealed his place in boxing books with a technical knockout win in the 9th round of his rematch against Mexican Moises Fuentes.

He is expected to face his next opponent in another title bout in October.*NAB
