On April 1st it hit me.
He did what every other fighter of this generation has been trying to do and that is get a shot at the boy who lays the golden egg.
He achieved it.
From 130 to 154 bobbing, weaving, shoulder rolling and ducking his way to Oscar.
How many other 130 pounders can say the same thing?
Who has played the best game of human chess?
Kudos to him and all of his people for seeing the big picture.
I still don't buy all this better than Ray stuff but I think he is not done.
I would like to see him come to the Welter Weight Division and take on a few people before he retires. If he does, he will get the respect of the people.
I don't know what else to say but the plan was 100% genious.
Not only is he fighting Oscar, he is fighting on Oscars terms.
I would not be surprised if Oscar tells Floyd he can not drink water or rest on his stool in between rounds.
Wether he retires or continues fighting is none of my bee's wax. That is his business. Boxing is a business and with all the shady phukers in this sport, I don't blame Floyd for anything he has done or not done. In a business one has to be smart and make the right moves. It's all about the money in a sport where you have to be slick to get paid the big bucks.
I am not making a shrine or nothing nor will I be burning candles in his name but I will recognize him as a very smart business man and decent fighter who holds the p4p title for what ever reasons.
