Well Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.the face of boxing and world’s highest paid athlete. Boxing fans, experts and the general public have a love/hate relationship with Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s personality and some believe he has had a padded and carefully planned career to maintain the 0 on his boxing resume.
I disagree. Floyd Mayweather Jr. has outclassed all comers while maintaining his health and good looks. I feel due to Mayweather’s arrogant streak, flashy personality and total disregard he shows to his opponents it takes the lime light off his unbelievable achievements in the sport of boxing. but now after his release from jail, I believed he has changed.
