Manny Pacquio fights Sugar Shane Mosely this weekend on PPV. While Boxing is not as popular as it once was, Manny remains (in my opinion) must see TV. Here's a list of other athletes that you probably don't watch that fit in that category for me.
Obviously Manny Pacquio is an all time great. With wins over the likes of Eric Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Juan Manuel Marques, Miguel Cotto, Oscar Delahoya, and Ricky Hatton, Pacquio is in the conversation for greatest non-heavyweight of the last 50 years.
Lionel Messi has scored 50 goals thus far for his club team Barcelona. He has yet to have that magical moment at the World Cup stage, but you don't have to be a huge soccer fan to appreciate his athletic gifts.
Usain Bolt is the best sprinter that the world has ever seen. 9.58 for 100 meters and 19.2 for 200 meters is simply unthinkable.
Anderson Spider Silva makes something spectacular happen everytime he enters the octagon.
Javier "Chicarito" Hernandez is quickly becoming the best young player in Europe. He could potentially make Mexico a legit World Cup threat in 2014. He also happens to play for my favorite soccer team, Manchester United.
