Floyd Mayweather Jr: Mind Bending Skills, Questionable Application

by K.M. Stansen - OnThEGRiND BoXiNG
Nobody of sound mind would question that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is probably the most skilled boxer of his generation. His skills go so deep that he even turns the heads of fellow Hall of Fame elites, as well as other all time greats. Over the years Floyd has indeed displayed a measure of versatility that few boxers possess. Not only does this man have the skill set of dreams for most fighters, but Mayweather is so gifted that his combination of physical gifts and boxing mastery have seen him virtually embarrass elite level opponents like they were mere sparring partners.
I have to say however that while I can go on and on about how great he is as a boxer, I can just as quickly follow up by going on about how he’s bad for boxing and how he truthfully hasn’t been a ‘fighter’ for the last 4th of his career or so. Read more »

- Klitschko just can't get any respect (AP) September 27, 2009Vitali Klitschko was doing most of his talking in English, which made sense because, after all, he had just starred in prime time on American television.
