Heavyweight boxing legend Muhammad Ali turned 70 years old this week. He celebrated at a private fundraiser in the Muhammad Ali Center in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.

Today, fight fans will feel lucky if Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. face each other once ...

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was able to get the start of his jail term pushed back so he can fight on May 5 and now he's calling out Manny Pacquiao. So we're finally going to see the super fight that every boxing fan has been waiting years to see, right? Not so fast.

When Pacquaio was steamrolling Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto, it looked like Mayweather was ducking Pacquiao with his requests for Olympic-style drug testing. Now that Pacquiao has looked increasingly vulnerable while winning his last four fights by decision, Mayweather suddenly wants the fight. Pretty Boy turning 35 in February and facing jail time (87 days) are also undoubtedly factors in his apparent willingness to finally risk his undefeated record in order to secure the biggest payday in boxing history.

Unfortunately, now it looks like Pacquiao (or at least his promoter Bob Arum) is the one responsible for avoiding the fight. Over the past few days, Arum has offered a series of excuses for why the fight can't happen in May:

* Pacquiao's cuts from his November 12 bout with Juan Manuel Marquez will not be healed in time. Not buying it.

* Fight fans want to see a fourth fight between Pacquaio and Marquez. No they don't, not compared to Pacquiao vs. Mayweather.

* Let's wait until Las Vegas finishes building a 45,000 seat boxing arena so everyone can make even more money. Somewhat plausible.

What do you think? Will Manny and Floyd finally get it on this year? Or maybe next year? Or will we never see the two best pound-for-pound fighters of this generation face each other in the ring? Vote in our poll.
