by Sotoman: For true boxing fans, Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. represents the pure and flawless ability to teach and display the sweet science of boxing. For the newer fans, Mayweather comes of as a fake, a fraud, and talker.
In spite of that, we must give Mayweather a lot of credit for keeping both sides happy/angry. Fans who love to see boxing, enjoy watching Mayweather’s Ali-like movement in the ring. They are reminded of why the greats like Ali, Leonard, Robinson the list can go on, were so important to boxing.
Younger fans must realize that although Money May is a boxer, he is in the game for money at this stage of his career. His dedication to his children, roots, and boxing are evident in and out of the ring. Yes he has had run-ins with the law but we all live our lives based on the decisions we make each day.
By Sotoman: This weekend boxing fans across the globe will be treated to a great fight between light welterweights Lucas Matthysse and Lamont Peterson at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ. This fight will bring boxing fans from both spectrum of the sport together, those who love the action fighters and those fans who enjoy the sweet science.
