Ahhhhhhh batta batta batta swing
Mayweather does absolutly nothing for me as a boxer or personality now. Honestly I believe him to be bad for the fight game and more worthy of a day time reality show more so then being the main event in the ring. He's his own biggest fan, the man clapping with one hand and blocking a crowded hallway because he's too busy gazing at his smile in the mirror. Piss or get off the pot comes to mind. The silly cackling kid standing poolside dipping his toe in while other wide eyed eager ones fly by and fling themselves cannonball style into the water. He's a status clinger, the protector of the '0' and more and more a lifesize version of two girls & a cup because his own cup of bs runneth over. Some fight, some talk about fighting, and some simply talk to hear themselves talk. Floyd looks to be cut from the cloth of the third case and content to rest on trinkets and obviously solid talents though I think he'll go down as one never fully realized. A form of what's ifs and many top calibur match ups that never materalized and he has only himself to blame in the end. Injury, nor ring wear and not inability or lack of skill have sidelined this man, rather it has been a choice and apparent preference. He acts like his legacy has been written. I do not think him a great fighter, but a boxer with great skills. He can retire tomorrow and I wouldn't blink an eye.
