Flamboyant American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr has been whining about how he is not getting the kind of respect an undefeated champion deserves.
After all, at 41-0 (win-loss), he still considers himself the best ever in his generation if not of all time.
Mayweather has defeated the likes of Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, Oscar de la Hoya and Shane Mosley en route to capturing titles in the lightweight and welterweight classes including snatching de la Hoya?s junior middleweight crown.
His controversial persona in and outside the ring have made him a good media copy, a recipe for box office success. And after Oscar de la Hoya retired, Mayweather inherited the crown as boxing?s biggest draw, both in live gate receipts and pay per view buys.
Until a Filipino boxing tornado tore through the wall of great competition and challenged Mayweather?s ascendancy to the throne as the best pound for pound boxer in their generation and, possibly, of all times.
