It's time to bow down.
It's time to concede. Call it throwing in the white towel if you must but even Ray Charles can see this clearly.
Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr. is the undisputed King of the Ring. Showing sudden signs of mental maturity at age 36, following a jail stint which gave him time to think and reflect, Mayweather is now the President, the Prime Minister, the Potentate of Pugilism.
Old guys like me are used to heavyweights, to fellows named
Muhammad Ali or
Larry Holmes, being the Face of
Boxing, at least when there's no lower weight, charismatic figure such as Sugar Ray Leonard at the pinnacle.
Different time, different world.
Because, as he prepares to dazzle Robert Ghost Guerrero this Saturday, it's Made In The USA Mayweather who absolutely rules boxing's roost. Is he bigger, in impact and importance, than the admirable
Klitschko Brothers?
You bet he is, you win. You bet he is not, you lose.
Yes, the KBros. are huge in Germany, bigger maybe in Ukraine and other parts of Eastern Europe.
But, in terms of flair or worldwide magnetism, Mayweather bakes the cake, takes the cake and wants to eat it also. (Department of Mixed Up Metaphor Department).
I should also mention how Mayweather is taking care of family business in a righteous way by using his father as his lead trainer, despite all their prior dissension and bickering. Meanwhile, Mayweather keeps Uncle Roger, stricken by diabetes, on retainer.
Mayweather, the Family Guy? Nice to see this happening and I'm not being sarcastic.
Guerrero is coming to fight but if he's counting on how many punches dinged Mayweather when he fought Miguel Cotto, then he will be sadly mistaken as you can expert "Money" to be razor sharp this "May Day."
I see this as a one-sided Mayweather victory, Floyd taking eight to nine rounds and rolling on his September soiree.
We can wish the fall fight would be against precocious Canelo Alvarez but that won't be the case.
For now, Mayweather's got the perfect Cinco de Mayo foil.
Ghost does not have a Ghost of a chance to win it.
But that doesn't make him a bad person, just another commoner who cannot match the Emperor's skill set.
All hail, no more jail, for King Floyd.
