Pretty bold statement considering I have said Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the best pure boxer in the business and has the skills and natural talent to be in the HOF as an all time P4P type guy. I have said that, and I still say that. The problem is he is a jackass and has placed himself in a lose-lose situation. There is no win here for him thanks to stupid decisions, stupid behaviour and inexplicably stupid comments?both chronic and recent.
Let?s backtrack a bit to when Floyd first really blew everyone?s mind. That was Diego Corrales night. After that performance PBF could do no wrong, and very a la RJJ coasted for years cleaning out guys who should have been sparring partners while avoiding hunting for the defining fights that would secure a legacy that could never be tarnished. I?m not trying to beat up on Roy. In his defense, there wasn?t much to do at 175 that he didn?t do but challenges are where you find them and neither guy seemed as interested in looking as they did in basking and reveling.
That?s where phrases like ?If it makes dollars, it makes sense? come from. They come from the arrogance of youth that can?t grasp the fact that all the money in the world can?t buy you out of the decades of sleepless nights that come when the chanting has stopped and you are left to ponder all the talent and opportunity that has been squandered on nonsense, posses, broads and bling.
