(Photo credit: Idris Erba/Mayweather Promotions) by J.R. Leon: Before you, the reader, automatically assume that I’m not a fan of pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr, due to the article’s title, you would be incorrect. I enjoy Mayweather’s ring dominance and his defensive-minded style, although many other people would call it boring.
As a boxer, Mayweather has proven time and time again, that his defense and sharpshooting offense is second to none and as he proudly recites, “forty nine have tried but none succeeded”. But as a business man, Mayweather has taken complete control of boxing’s Junior Welterweight to Middleweight divisions, for the past decade, due to the ever present opportunity to be the lucky boxer to face him.
