I'm a fan of boxing, I'm a fan of winners, and I'm a fan of Mayweather.
Sure, he's a strong candidate to lose everything he's earned from his boxing exploits. And he's arrogant as hell. But I don't like him because of his financial management skills - I like him because he's an extraordinary boxer! Quick as a cat, slippery, and with an ego to back up those lightning quick hands. I would suggest that the arrogance, ego and showmanship is part of what makes him great. He gets in his opponent's heads, and that clearly is part of being a great fighter.
He'll meet his match someday, as age ultimately beats everyone. But I personally think that he could be Pacman. Manny's invincibility needs to be removed, and I think Floyd is just the guy to do it.
I would like to suggest maybe this should be the fight we go see in Vegas, but my pocketbook can't take that kind of punishment. Most everyone who's fought Floyd would tell you the only thing that felt good about fighting him was their pocketbook. Their nose, chin and stomach hurt like hell!
