What has he really done to deserve it? Many fighters have done the same, without nearly as much care in selecting opponents with decisive weaknesses.
It seems to me that his ring and public persona are the same, noticeably deep complexes, which have become more moticeable, and grossly ignorant narcissic behaviour. Of course that it what he is, and I couldn't care less. If you and others want to lick his boots, after all who is merely a common purveyor of human "dog-fights" for the edification of the ignorant suckers, you don't need my permission. My attitude is that we should "call a spade a spade" and not a solid platinum musical be-jewelled sceptre.
Believe me, I would know if his presentation of himself was a pose. Of course there is some schtik, but the older he gets, the more it merged into his real persona, so in the past 6-7 years we have been getting "Mayweather live".
Since you brought up Hogan, it always seemed to me that his ring persona was deliberately vile, as no person except a raving lunatic could behave the way he did, and anyway it seemed fake, but in other setting he showed himself to be a normal sort of person. I don't chase after these people, but I once knew someone who met him at a party
who said he was just an ordinary guy but supersize. From close-up his whiskers and bleached hair were just funny. (like Buddy Rogers walking in the street with his famous "swagger and Merlin with his cape)
Thank you for the good wishes re house, haven't finalised it yet but expect a bargain.

Originally posted by tlarry View PostListen, everyone knows Junior hand picks the easiest route to the bank as possible... just like Roy Jones Jr did his entire career. Mayweather never had the ballz, or the Legend status as Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Chavez Sr, Arguello, even Dela Hoya & Mosley. Those guys are legends not because they hand picked their career to an "undefeated record". They are the Legends of Boxing, because money aside, they had the ballz, the character, the pride, to fight the Best of the Best, Multiple Times, In Their Primes, Win, Lose, or Draw... let the money take care of itself. The money was always important to a degree, but it was secondary, to being the best of the best, and leaving that rich legacy in Boxing. Not Junior Mayweather, he rolls out of jail, has a private plane waiting for him with $2m in cash on board, waiting to fly to Atlanta, then carry $50K in cash into an all nighter Strip Club. When the money runs low or out, go find the easiest, least risk fighter, for yet another payday. His controversy and loud mouth sells tickets; it's not his ability to fight and beat the best, in their prime. He made Mosley & Cotto wait more than 10 years until they were well past their prime. He's made Pacquiao wait more than 4 years, and still with won't fight Manny for him being too dangerous. Seriously, does Junior Mayweather think fighting Devon Alexander brings him a bigger payday than fighting Pacqwhoresuioa???? Junior won't fight Canelo, and don't EVER believe he will. Hell, he wouldn't even fight Sergio Martinez. He won't even fight Guerrero now, because Guerrero talked trash, call Junior out, and Junior is beginning to think, Guerrero may be just a bit too crazy for him. So he opts for Devon Alexander, who was afraid to throw punches against Tim Bradley; how do you think he'll handle the big spot light on him against Junior Mayweather???? Junior Mayweather is a disgusting example of a boxing champion, and as a person. His story won't end well, in the ring and out.

You obviously have not read your article before sending it to be published. It is so over-lavish (if there is such a word) in its dripping praise that it would be like a derisive or contemptuous sarcasm, except that you never descend to such descriptions.
But keep reading.
