Is it hard to become a top boxer like Floyd Mayweather?

If you think Floyd is a fraud, you have no business talking about boxing. I think in terms of talent and ability, he's one of the best to ever lace 'em up. Not just anyone can win their first world title in their 17th pro fight, at 20 years old.

There are plenty of people who have trained all their lives to lose to boxers he beat easily. So yeah, I'm sure it's a relatively simple thing you can achieve by dropping out and training now. Heck, why even drop out when you can probably get in enough training in your spare time.

Get yourself a TBE cap. Get someone to stand behind you shouting 'TBE'. And before you know it, some people will swallow and start calling you TBE.

you know what guys i have made my decision. I am going to withdraw from my course at university. I dont want to work a 9-5 job. I want to sell out stadiums, talk trash, drive Bugatti's and earn 200 million for a fight. I will become like Floyd one day first, find a josie... then look for a lenny... have some iv... and do perfect with the pay roll...oooops shoulder roll...my bad...

Most people don't realise this but what Floyd Mayweather has is nothing short of God given talent. Forget his physical attributes, you couldn't even dream of mentally comprehending Floyd's analytical skills let alone being able to grasp it. If you had even a quarter of that talent, at 21 you would have been preparing for the Olympics next year at very least and be all but assured of a medal.

It's just clever marketing, a lot of boxers try to do it but then get exposed for being overhyped since they end up fighting legit opposition. Mayweather's illusion just lasted longer than other hyped fighter's illusions because he fought virtually no decent opposition in their prime but backed that up with clever fight-hyping, the contrived "love or hate" persona, so many more people fell for the hype and made Floyd a rich man. It's all an illusion though, he ducked too many legit prime fighters to even be taken seriously. He's a nobody and as time goes by more people will realize the truth, as seems to be a pretty common pattern seen among boxing fans. Seems to take a while for people to wake up to reality. He fought 23 World Champions Oscar De La hoya, Shane mosley, ricky hatton, zab judah, manny pacquiao, castillox2, canelo alvarez undefeated are you calling these guys nobodies too (since he defeated them)

if cherry picking your way to the #1 p4p spot and earning minimum 30 million/fight is so easy, why aren't more people doing that? besides Pacquiao It's just clever marketing, a lot of boxers try to do it but then get exposed for being overhyped since they end up fighting legit opposition.

You'll be living the dream in no time.

Im a big fan of boxing, and a big fan of Mayweather and his lifestyle. Would it be hard to become like him? Im currently 21 years old and in University but its boring. I want to drop out and become a world champion boxer. how many days a week do i need to train to become like floyd?I wouldnt mind earning 200 million for a fight Drop out bro, don't think about, just do it. Anybody can get it $$$ Your the next TBE son.

:lol1: lol this thread

Floyd just cherrypicked his way to the top. He very rarely fought a prime fighter who wasn't weight-drained or faded. It's pretty easy to do that. Many think he lost 3 or 4 fights too so there is a degree of luck involved with the judges but overall being a career-long cherrypicker is pretty straightforward. if cherry picking your way to the #1 p4p spot and earning minimum 30 million/fight is so easy, why aren't more people doing that? besides Pacquiao

Well I hope you are trolling , because if you arent then you should drop out of uni but not to become a boxer but a burger king worker , you have no brain and will probably fail @ uni and in real life ..... but you probably trolling so all good.

I find it hard to believe that you go to a "university". I met Floyd when I was a teen (he was a teen also). He had exceptional and freaky talent... Not to mention work ethic. Please stop posting about Floyd

It would be almost impossible. You would have to have great natural talent for boxing and that means very fast hands and feet, great coordination and timing. You would also need a great chin, courage, and a love an dedication to boxing. You would need good teachers and to start boxing at about six years old. You must train hard and stay in shape. You have to win all your fights over good opposition and win a world title at 21 years old. If you accomplish all this you might start making good money and be able to live a little of Mayweather's life style. Good luck with your near impossible dream.

On a serious note don't be stupid, stay at uni and make a good living while maintaining your health. Ever wonder why mayweathers or any other notable boxers kids don't become boxers? It's a sport that you learn from a kid, usually those growing up in the goods, ghettos and slums. It's a way to keep them out of trouble and some end up being special like mayweather and becoming stars. I'm sure if they were brought up by parents with a decent living, they wouldn't be boxing, they would be going to university wanting to become businessman, lawyers, doctors etc. After I finished uni I decided to give boxing a real crack, I started training with top coaches and often sparring with guys who fought in the commonwealth games. Believe me it's not worth it, the sacrifices you have to make are crazy and for what? The chance to become 1 in a million that makes it big. Stay at uni, work hard and live a decent life I say.

It's real easy. All you do is put your left hand down and make it come across your lower abdomen and your right hand tucked under your chin. That's it, you have the knowledge now, go make 200 million a night!

Become the butterfly, be the Bee.

Drop out of that GED course, and become the champ you are destined to become. Believe in your silly trolling skills. Pull that butt plug out of your boy friends butt, and use it as a pacifier.
