Golden Boy no more....
So everyone seems to be all excited about Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather this weekend at the MGM.
And granted, yes.. this is the biggest "deal" in boxing in a long time, but seriously... Floyd's going to mop the floor with him (De La Hoya has lost to slower, crappier versions of Mayweather already). And it's not often that a dude named "Floyd" is the baddest motherfucker on the planet, but these are the crazy times in which we live. When there's almost nobody watchable in the heavyweight ranks, and when the biggest name in boxing (De La Hoya) is basically washed up, you have a problem.
I'm not here to pretend I know how to fix boxing, but someone needs to start promoting Mayweather better... the problem is, he's a surley asshole, but really... can't you market him as Mike Tyson without the lisp?
Regardless, I want to see this fight, if for no other reason than to see the Golden Boy get his ass handed to him. Fucker.
