The Crucifixion of Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr.
This is not a thread defending the alleged actions of Floyd Mayweather.
However; I’ve been reading people attack the character of Floyd Mayweather for a few days now. With the alleged incident that happened between Mayweather Jr and the mother of three of his children I couldn’t help to reflex on the countless amounts of boxers who have been involved into scandals such as this.
Of course on boxing scene aka Mayweather bash central one would think these incidents never occurred.
Name of boxers involved in scandals
Miguel Cotto- alleged sexual assault
Mike Tyson- convicted of ****d
Carlos Monzon- convicted of murder
Evander Holyfield- Alleged Domestic Abuser
Arturo Gatti- Alleged Domestic Abuser
Diego Corrales- Alleged Domestic Abuser
Manny Pacquiao- Serial Adulterer and Womanizer and alleged murder for hire conspirator (amongst other allegations)
Edwin Valero- Murderer and Domestic Abuser
Aaron Pryor- Domestic Abuser (mother assaulted)
Pernell Whitiker- Alleged Domestic Abuser/ Substance Abuser
Joe Calzaghe- Substance Abuser
Ricky Hatton- Substance Abuser
Roy Jones Jr- Alleged Dog and Chicken fighter
Don King (promoter)- convicted murderer
Jim Lampley (Sportscaster) Alleged Domestic Abuser
Prince Naseem Hamed- Convicted of Dangerous Driving which paralyzed and nearly killed victim
There are countless other boxing figures who have been involved in scandal similar to that of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Yet so many are calling for this man’s head.
I understand that people make mistakes, some more than others. Some of these people were accused and not convicted of their alleged actions. My question to the boxing scene community is will you denounce every one of these crowd favorites and warriors for their actions as well or will you continue to single out Floyd Mayweather Jr (who as of now still is now an innocent man) and continue to cast stones.?
Feel free to add other boxers to the list.
