Floyd, Manny, Shane & Juanma

[Thomas Hearns]

I will make a crossroads universe following the careers of Floyd Mayweather Jr, Manny Pacquiao, Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Marquez.
This universe started at the beggining of 1998 so the situation of the four main characters is the following:


1 Floyd Mayweather Jr. 12-0-0 (10). 21 years old

Floyd is a very hot prospect on the junior lightweight division, his team thinks that is the moment to step up the competition for "Pretty Boy" so in his next fight he will face the dangerous mexican hard hitter and former champion Gabriel Ruelas.

2 Manny Pacquiao 22-1-0 (14) 19 years old

After 23 fights the young Manny is ready for his first title chance against WBO world champion Carlos Gabriel Salazar.
Pacquiao seems to be a good fighter and a very exciting one to follow but his lone defeat against unheralded Rustico Torrecampo by KO3 put some doubts on the development of his career.

3 Shane Mosley 25-0-0 (23) 26 years old

At 26 Sugar Ray is the IBF world lightweight champion. He won the title beating previously undefeated Phillip Holiday on points and then Shane defended his title one time against journeyman Manuel Gomez.
Now is time to prove his value for Shane, when he faces undefeated WBA lightweight champion Orzubek Nazarov on a unification bout.

4 Juan Manuel Marquez 23-1-0 (17) 24 years old.

A mix of technician and puncher, "Dinamite" Marquez have all the conditions to become a world champion on the featherweight division. His mangement team thinks that is the moment to up the level of his rivals so in his next fight he will face the always dangerous Cesar "la Cobrita" Soto on a all Mexican show with Marquez' WBO NABO title on the line.
