We all know that Floyd is brash, arrogant, and all of the above, but you cannot discredit what he does in the ring. Being undefeated in anything is admirable. From being undefeated in paper football to being the 1972 Miami Dolphins being undefeated takes focus, hard work, determination, luck, and skill.
Floyd faces Miguel Cotto this weekend in a highly anticipated fight. No, this is not the fight that America wanted, but it will be cool to see Floyd go for his 43rd win. The world wanted to see Floyd lose to Manny Pacquiao, but Miguel Cotto can be America’s hero if he defeats Mayweather this upcoming Saturday.
In my opinion I feel that the media does not give Floyd his credit for being one of greatest fighter’s of all time. His personality may turn people off, but Floyd the boxer is perfect. His record may be 42-0, but his greatness is beyond the numbers. Mayweather has fought all of the top fighters in various weight classes to show that he is not afraid of a challenge. Popular boxing names such as Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, Arturo Gatti, Juan Marquez, and Zab Judah all have fallen victim to Mayweather.
It’s no argument that the media is blind when it comes to “Money” Mayweather. You can blame it on his diamonds or his personality, but they are blind to the fact that we have had a chance to watch one of the greatest fighter’s in boxing history. Long term success is rare in boxing in this day and age. Floyd has been at the top of his game for a little over 15 years starting when he won the Bronze medal in the 1996 Olympics.
No matter what the outcome of the fight is this Saturday I would like to see the appreciation of Floyd Mayweather the boxer rather than focusing on the persona of Floyd “Money” Mayweather.
Floyd is the truth! I hope he goes 50-0. He’s the only reason to get excited about boxing. Floyd believes Pac man is on steroids and I kinda do too. It would kill boxing if Manny was found out…
I will never hate on Floyd. As a matter of fact, I’m about to listen to his rap hit “yep”
I think he on the juice also, Floyd is the most complete boxer of our lifetime. The media doesn’t give him his just do because of his attitude , whatever he says he backs it up point blank. Father time is the only opponent that will beat him at this point
