Who is Floyd Mayweather? When it comes to this name, several fight fans are willing to render their deepest thoughts from their most shallow perspective, but really, do they know? From the diamond-studded MP3 player worn around his neck, to the Gucci waist packs, to the pancake hundred dollar bill stacks, the name Floyd Mayweather has become synonymous with so many things over the years. An old adage states that “life imitates art”, and in the case of Mayweather, those words couldn’t be any closer to the truth as the pictures painted in Mayweather’s mind from his early childhood have suddenly materialized to tangible form. A conversation with an average 5 or 6-year-old would typically reveal little more than a favorite cartoon, ice cream, or simply a day in the park. In the case of Floyd Mayweather, the vision was a bit more pristine from the very start. “Obnoxious”, “arrogant”, “self-proclaiming”, and “self-fulfilling”. All words used to describe him. On the surface, such definitions come easy, but no matter how many analysises we see offered, reality tells us not one yet has accurately translated the spirit of a man who remains undefined.
