NY Post's George Willis suddenly backing Mayweather...

But anyone who knows GW wouldn't call him a bum journalist. He has covered a variety of sports, including boxing.

The guy has a Hall of Fame vote. Do you have the equivalent in your field?

I respect what you're saying about his apparent Kerry-esque flip-flop. But it ain't that serious. If he finally got to thinking about it, and seeing (or hearing about) Shane sparring with Naazim's ****** sons, then he has to make the call he feels he can live with.

Easy breezy, i'm not attacking the man's livelihood or career i'm just saying he dropped the ball this morning. Maybe I should rephrase bum journalist to veteran scribe with an uncharacteristically poor appraisal of the fight lol

Side note on the "popular narratives".

How do cliches become cliches?

Come on pal, semantics. I'm talking about boxing.

Yes, So am I.

The point is that you feel that he jumoed on board with "popular narratives'. Well, the prevailing theories in this fight exist because they are largely true. That's how cliches become thusly.

Mayweather is slick. He does have some of the best ring intelligence that we have ever seen. He is prone to making the better adjustments.

And, at the end of the day, those things are very hard to pick against.

I'm just saying. You're a smart cat. Smarter than 98% of the *******ians who inhabit NSB. When you use a phrase like 'bum journalist', these novice fans will latch on to that **** and that will be G-Dub's moniker in perpetuity.

If he had a bad moment, cool. I don't generally like to see writers changing up either.

Robert DeNiro made 'Bullwinkle'

People change their minds all the time, about all sorts of things.

You gotta be an idiot not to realise that. I can make a pick on a fight, and then look at it more in depth and change my mind. That's not a bad thing.
