In other news, the US Open Men’s Draw has just signed a contract to fight Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Read more

It’s not all bad news, however. Arsenal has just signed a contract to fight Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Read more

I never believed Manny was juicing because the guys he was knocking out were all stiffs or completely finished. There was no need to hypothesize any explanation for Manny other than Bruce Trampler’s eye. Read more

I wrote that blurb before I watched thr replay, based on what I’d heard from a few others. When I actually watched the fight, it was so much worse than I imagined. Conor was an absolute joke, any solid amateur walks right through him. Floyd let him land a few sloppy arm punches to create the appearajce of atonement… Read more

Yes, Mosley really hurt Floyd but he could not follow up. He had trouble pulling the trigger all night, before and after that punch. Now, he’ll say it was an injury, except it looked a lot like a natural aging progression if you follow his fights over the years but excise the Margarito fight (which you should do; I… Read more

It’s not a knock on GGG, there weren’t any great fights he ducked or anything, but it is a fact. We just don’t know how good GGG is because he’s never been in with a good yardstick. We know he struggled with Danny Jacobs, who is a very good but definitely not great fighter. Maybe that was a bad night, but my… Read more

I just watched the replay. It was so much worse than I thought. I have no idea how anyone took it seriously. Read more

Too Sharp was great and I was a huge fan, but he never reached elite status like the other guys we’re talking about. He doesn’t have any top level scalps on his mantle. Read more

PS - Cotto-Kamegai really was more interesting Read more

PS - yes, obviously, in this analogy, Conor McGregor is Kris Humphries. Read more

Qualified? Sure. A threat to beat Floyd? No. I covered each of the fights you mentioned and didn’t give any of those guys a prayer against Floyd. Mosley was too old, and got an undeserved pop for beating a completely spent Margarito who was totally listless even before he got to the ring. Before that, he’d struggled… Read more

Floyd has regularly flashed tickets up to $10 million on things like the halftime line of a college basketball game. $400K is what he throws on number 23 on a roulette spin. Read more

We may have different standards for whooping. Watching a disinterested old man let ineffective shots graze him until the guy throwing them passes out from exhaustion does not usually get a whoop out of me, but to each their own. I get it can come off elitist to actually care about the level of genuine athletic… Read more

It’s interesting, I can usually guess a fight fan’s age by how historically unique they think Mayweather’s style is. It’s actually not at all unique if you go back more than 30 years or so (http://deadspin.com/why-floyd-mayweather-is-the-last-of-a-kind-1700672546), but defense has definitely gone out of vogue (I… Read more

Only $400K? Floyd must be more broke than we thought. Read more

I am very glad I googled that name. I was expecting the GM of a bad team, I was NOT expecting a Jim Tomsula lookalike. Read more

I don’t care for basketball, but I do love reading about inept sports management, and this did not let me down one bit. Read more

The best on this subject is the great Pat Wyman: Read more

1) Thanks for calling me a good writer. That’s very generous and not a description I would give myself. Read more

Since we were the ones who made Floyd’s history of abuse into a national story, I fail to see your point... Read more
