Perhaps the boxing profession has already come to the conclusion that Floyd Mayweather is one of the greatest boxing talents ever seen. However the great man himself is not easily persuaded that he has done enough. It seems that the champion himself is quite interested in the opportunity build his legacy further. Some people have commented that he should concentrate on winning more titles instead of boasting about his many achievements. I personally happen to think that his boasts are all done in good nature and that they add to an otherwise dull sport.
In his latest date with destiny the six times champion will face Shane Mosley in an all American clash the promises some interesting things. The fight is scheduled to occur in Las Vegas on the first of May. However the opponents WBA crown will not be on the line so it will really be about getting the glory and getting to the top of the pecking order. This is the type of spurring that Mayweather loves especially if it involves mercilessly teasing the opponent before, during and after the match.
The charismatic player freely admits that boxing these days is all about legacy and records for him. He has had his full share of titles and does not feel the need to push himself any further. Few would disagree with him. Mayweather has made a name for himself in boxing with his remarkable defense and consistent attack. His speed is legendary and he talks a very good game. By the time the opponent steps into the boxing ring, they will have already lost the speaking contest to Mayweather.
What is astonishing about Mayweather is the fact that his records are almost unbelievable in their magnificence. He has an unbeaten forty fight record in professional meetings and has notched up a memorable twenty five knockouts. While acknowledging his opponent’s obvious merits, Mayweather is at pains to emphasize his own technical and physical superiority in a pattern that is all too familiar. The fight promises to bring tension and anticipation in the boxing arena.
