Floyd mayweather is a hell of a fighter with god gifted skills, and despite what some people say hes packing a solid CV.
However, being the self proclaimed 'TBE', we are judging floyd at the highest of standards.
FLoyd had the chance to achieve something special, and use the 50th fight by coming out of 'retirement' and fighting a world class, dangerous opponent in there prime. This would have put the exclamation on an excellent career. This would have been something people would have talked about for many years, how he came out and beat the best active fighter. Further proof of mayweathers greatness.
However floyd picked the easy option, an even easier opponent than andre berto.
Hes chosen a fighter with a 0-0 boxing record and chosen to make a mockery of the sport, a slap in the face for many.
So perhaps this fight is a defining one, in the sense that rather than going with the hardest option and looking to really achieve greatness, hes gone for a soft touch in a joke/circus fight and undoubtedly chosen the easy option.
We can talk about mayweather being money orientated and hes picked the cash fight, but by calling himself 'the best ever' surely he does place an importance on legacy?
What do others think? Does this fight impact negatively on floyd and is it characteristic of a career where 'safety first' has been mayweathers mantra, both in his fighting style and choice of opponents?
