By David Anderson: I enjoy watching combat sports a lot. Sometimes before the fight promoters and/or fighters keep talking trash to increase the hype of the fight. While there are others who can talk a lot and can back up their claim, there are some who just do talking but can not really fight. Before the fight, there are all the dramas, saying he can beat me, he is not at the same class as I do but during the fight you’ll wonder where has all the talking gone.
It happens so many times in boxing and in UFC and all these trash talkers generate so much PPV that you’ll wonder is it only a promotion or is there really a beef between them. Between these combat sports, you’ll hardly notice Hall of Famers and champions talking much. Even though they can back it up, you still have to act in class.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of the best fighters of this generation. He manages to hit but can not be hit. He is one of the boxing finest. He has much if not all of the God-given talent a boxer could be possibly have. The only thing with him is he talks to much. I wish he could be the counterpart of Lyoto Machida and/or Anderson Silva in boxing. While Lyoto, Anderson and Mayweather have in common, that is they are all undefeated, they do also have two big differences. Lyoto and Anderson are both champions, we know that they are the greatest of their division but they do not always assert that they are.
They always keep on training as if they are not the best and they always keep looking on their flaws to further improve their talents. The other major difference between these two and PBF is that these two UFC fighters always want to fight the best, they always want to fight whoever challenge them, they are not afraid to have a loss in their resume because they know that if you really wanna be the greatest you would always fight the great or the best challenge offered to you. They don’t settle for the second best, they are not afraid under any circumstances. Money to them is second priority, best challenge is the first, because great fighters know deep inside of them that if the champ fight the best challenge given to the, money would follow and also PPV would follow because all fans will pay much just to see the best fighting.
At the end of the day, or career you ask your self, does my resume can speak for itself? Does my no loss record can put me in the greatest of all time? Did all my wins are through the best challengers offered? Coz money can buy you all the materials things but money can not buy you satisfaction, prestige, pride, legacy, honor and the term of being the “GREATEST OF ALL TIME” if you don’t always fight the best.
