Something Odd About MAYWEATHER...

[Gino Ros]

The three defining fights of Mayweather's early career:

Genaro Hernandez (RIP): Floyd's first championship (@ 21 yo), caught boxing insiders' eye

Diego Corrales (RIP): Floyd's single most brilliant performance. Launched him onto P4P lists. Made people go "oh ****"

Arturo Gatti (RIP): Floyd's first PPV, and the fight that launched him into the mainstream, setting up the Delahoya fight.


Each of these guys was/IS special to the boxing community. I just find this an eerie coincidence.

I was thinking about this the other day. It's rather uncanny.

And then his NEXT two most important fights:

Delahoya: Drug problem...Rehab

Hatton: Drug problem...Rehab

So what are the odds on marquez or mosley to check into rehab lol. 3 fights against those opponents so its gotta be 3 fights against people in rehab as well lol

Floyd only fights guys on their death beds or on drugs.

It crossed my mind but I wouldn't have made a thread on it

You can't find someone to say a bad word about Chicanito. And both Chico and Gatti had huge hearts.

More likely? Judah.

I wanted to be respectful to those guys. There were all very good fighters who we lost too soon.
