So watched (for free) Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana II, the rematch. I was completely and utterly disappointed. I will never pay for a fight (and haven't since Mayweather - Hatton in 2008, which was worth it). Floyd - Hatton was the last good (not even great) fight of Floyds career and will probably be the last ever. He will choose weak opponents that he knows he can beat easily like Amir Kahn. He won't fight Golovkin, a dangerous Kazak fighter who would really give Floyd a lot of trouble with his relentless attack and shorter, sharper punches than Maidana delivered.
All boxing fans are DONE with Floyd and his "TBE" bullshit. He's not even in the top 10 of any weight classes he's been in. Top 15, sure, I'll give him that. But he's not even in the top 50 P4P of all time based on all the bullshit breaks he got, the weak opposition, fighting big name fighters when they were totally washed up (De La Hoya, Shane Moseley) or fighting young fighters who show great promise but were totally overmatched in terms of experience (Canelo Alvarez...I say Alvarez would beat Floyd now that he's gotten a little older and stronger and more experienced. Canelo is the real deal.)
I'd be stunned if Floyd chooses to have a rematch with Miguel Cotto, who is at the peak of his career now. Floyd beat Cotto in a 12 round decision a few years ago, but Cotto is a serious FIGHTER. He likes to get in there and get hit and throw punches and hurt people. He's not trying to win on points, he's trying to kill you. Look what he did to Sergio Martinez...man that was a brutal beating.
Does ANYONE out there actually believe Floyd, as he self proclaims himself to be, The Best Ever (TBE, it's on all his hats on shirts, or TMT which is "The Money Team", money they make by ripping off fans for incredibly lackluster fights with no excitement).
And Floyd (I'm sure he's reading this) if you don't fight Pacquiao, that will be the highlight of your legacy...that you ducked and dodged and avoided your best possible opponent, the one guy who people think could beat you. But instead you pick people everyone knows can't beat you. Great business move, but you're supposed to be a warrior. You disgrace all the past warriors who fought for pride, TO WIN, and for a legacy as an all time great. And they all still made tons of money, without being boring and a clown.
The greatest fighters always fight the best that's out there. Floyd has never done that. He's not great.
This is a great point of view which basically shares my feelings on everything.
