At work I asked a *co-worker,
"Are you a fan of Floyd Mayweather?"
He replied,
"What?"
I reiterated.
"Floyd Mayweather."
"Nah," he told me. "Nah. I like Mike Tyson. Power. I grew up watching Tyson."
"He was a good, strong brawler," I said. "But how come you don't like Mayweather?"
My buddy explained, "Because he doesn't get knockouts. The guy is all tired, and he doesn't take him out. Make it worth the sixty bucks, c'mon."
Looking a little befuddled, he added.
"I mean, he's good. He moves."
I said "Ah, okay."
...
So there you have it, fellas. That's what a casual boxing fan thinks of Money Mayweather.
He said it from an unbiased perspective. It's an interesting insight. Someone from the outside seeing it for what it is. All of us on this site are fanboys (to different degrees) and have biasness.
*co-worker is African American (not that race matters, just saying for all the black power Mayweather posters who are quick to pull the race card)
