Rashida Ali, daughter of legendary heavyweight boxing champ,
Muhammad Ali, has chosen pugilist, Manny Pacquiao, to beat Floyd
Mayweather in their forthcoming May 2, 2015 fight in Las Vegas.
In an interview with TMZ, Ali's daughter stated, "My dad is Team
Pacquiao all the way. My dad really likes Manny. He’s a huge fan
of his. He knows Manny’s a great fighter but it’s more about
what he does outside the ring. He’s such a charitable person.
There’s no question he’s going to order it. It takes my dad way
back to when he was fighting. My dad stood for things.
Mayweather...I don’t think there’s a comparison."
