There is no doubt in anyone?s mind that Floyd Mayweather is a great boxer, and one of the greatest ever, but his life outside the ring will cost him dearly against Victor Ortiz.
If there is one thing that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has a plethora of, it’s confidence, but as cocky as he is, his out of the ring distractions will make his upcoming fight against Victor Ortiz harder than it has to be.
Instead of concentrating on his September 17 fight against Ortiz at MGM Grand in Las Vegas for the WBC welterweight championship, Money has been playing it up for the cameras of the HBO show 24/7.
While Ortiz has been honing his 24-year-old body for the upcoming war that could make his career, Mayweather has been fighting with his daddy and playing it up with 50 cent instead of training like his career is on the line.
The cockiness is essential for a top-tier boxer, but Mayweather has gone completely off the deep end since his last fight 16 months ago, and he should be training like he is coming off the longest layoff of his life.
Mayweather has an undefeated record to defend and a belt to win, but the biggest risk he is taking is losing out on the super fight with Manny Pacquiao and its enormous payday if he loses to Ortiz.
With Mayweather seemingly not worried about all he has to lose in this September matchup, Ortiz is not afraid of the aura that surrounds Mayweather, but he is weary of his talent.
