An appreciation of Mayweather's discipline

[zhubin]

Amazing that after all he has accomplished...after all the money and fame...this guy still trains harder than anyone...and treats his body and his craft with the utmost respect. Even though he is surrounded by extravagant wealth, a big entourage, Las Vegas, etc.....he doesn't drink, smoke, or fluctuate in weight. Always in tremendous shape. Always sharp and focused when the time come for the fights. It's also interesting that he doesn't have any tattoos (at least none that i have seen or know of). It's almost like he treats his body like a temple (B hop is similar). Young fighters like Broner should take note.

For sure, but you can't help figure it's because he is such a boring and self absorbed human being on the same token. Hopkins is exactly the same, last person on earth I'd want to have a beer with if either of them did drink I know both of Floyds parents had a lot of problems with drugs and such though and there is perhaps no better alternative medicine than a fanatical exercise regime. Will be kind of interesting to see whether he's actually able to leave boxing without self destructing in some way, I highly doubt it myself.

I don't think I can agree with you about Floyd self destructing after he "retires" or "leaves" boxing. He will always be in boxing, promoting, training or whatever plus he'll always have a gym or gyms. Let's face it, he is a gym rat and probably does his best thinking when he's working out.
You said his parents had drug problems, so Floyd Jr has probably seen some things he does not want his children or grandchildren to see. What I mean is he has that side of his personality locked down like a million dollar vault.
Maybe Floyd can't explain to you how he is so successful in the ring, but he is very intelligent plus he picked up a billion dollar work ethic from someone, so I can't see Floyd falling on his face.

He's clearly not as stupid as he often likes to act for the cameras, but he is not in fact an intelligent human being, and his work ethic is fairly meaningless outside the sport of boxing imo. This is someone who manages to live at his means despite making so much damn money, and doesn't have any reasonable avenues of income other than fighting. I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me if he fell off the rails because he is a diva, and his promotional efforts outside of his own PPVs have already been totally fruitless. I can't see him competing remotely in that world once he isn't such an attraction himself, and he strikes me as someone who really fiends the spotlight as is. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he were a wtf kind of story in 15 years, that's all. I don't wish it on the guy or anything, just saying.

Anything is possible, but I just can't see Floyd throwing all his hard work away.

He does it quite literally all the time

Yeah he may act like a fool at times or even talk trash..(by the way he doesn't as much anymore) but he is an intelligent guy inside the ring and business wise. Very strict in his ways, that's why he one of the greatest in the ring.... I think he'll be fine once he retires.
