Floyd Mayweather Jr. needs to give his rap a rest. Both kinds of rap, that is. The “Pacquiao is on PEDs and you think I’m a coward” rap. That is beyond tiresome and it’s looking more and more like “Pacquiao, you’re next” is just promotional claptrap designed to sell Money’s own fights, not a clarion call to a super bout against Pacman. And his rap music, Mayweather should give that a rest as well. Ever helpful to Floyd, I hereby suggest some appropriate ring walk music for Saturday night’s tussle with Miguel I’m No Angel Cotto, Floyd’s last before his 60 day slammer jammer jail stint in Clark County. How do you like these tunes, Money May? 1. Chain Gang by the legend, Sam Cooke. 2. I Fought The Law (And The Law Won), Bobby Fuller Four. 3. Riot In Cell Block Number Nine, credited to The Robins. 4. In The Jailhouse Now by Jimmie Rogers. 5. County Jail as sung by Big Maceo. 6. Folsom Prison Blues by the great Johnny Cash. (Floyd loves cash.) 7. Jailhouse Rock by legend of legends, Elvis Presley. 8. Prisoner’s Dream by The Blue Sky Boys. 9. Crime Doesn’t Pay as sung by Merline Johnson. (At this point, Mayweather is pining for his beloved rap so herewith three more tunes, two of them rap music and making a total of 12 songs, one for the ring walk and one for between every round because Cotto will go the distance, bet this now.) 10. Jailbreak as done by Thin Lizzy. 11. Behind Bars by Slick Rick (who I personally heard perform “Treat Her Like A Prostitute” at Mike Tyson’s Official 25th Birthday party in Cleveland.) 12. Jailhouse Rap by The Fat Boys. So there you go, music to watch boxing and/or do time by.
