Floyd Mayweather Jr. is prodigiously talented, an undefeated three-time titlist, and at the age of 28, arguably the best boxer in the sport today. Alas, he’s wasting everyone’s time, including his own, testing seemingly everyone’s patience but his own.
For three years, over his past five fights, Pretty Boy Floyd has faced off with little but second and third-tier opponents, all the while attempting to establish himself as the rightful claimant to the pound-for-pound throne.
Meanwhile, Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo, two victims of Mayweather’s greatest triumphs, have used their respective last fives to give themselves greatly difficult challenges within brief amounts of time. They have confronted top-notch competition, including each other twice, garnering fans while justifying any consideration for them as denizens of the upper echelon.
Boxing is a sport that causes those who follow it to fall in love with dueling elements, the stylish sweet science of a Mayweather, and the blood and guts wars of Castillo and Corrales. It draws us in closely, so that we express ownership, defending our favorites against detractors and arguing vociferously against those that decry the violence. [details]
