Fathers Knows Worst, the new boxing sitcom starring Floyd Mayweather
Sr.Mayweather verbally stole the show from the more reasoned and laidback Cactus Jack Mosley on a press conference call Wednesday.
In our newest episode, "Pretty Daddy" also rattles off some nonsense about how Sugar Shane Mosley has been fighting "all Mexicans."
"First off, I heard these crazy things from Jack about what Shane is going to do. Shane is going to get his ass whooped. This is what's going to happen because little Floyd is faster than Shane, much faster, much slicker, more clever, smarter and he has so many things that he can do."We already know the outline on him because Oscar De La Hoya already showed that. We already know what to do with Shane," Floyd Sr. said.
"To tell you the truth, he never really beat a black fighter, and that tells you right there on how it's going to be.
"Margarito was a walking mummy. He was a tailor-made for Shane. Floyd just has too many thing he can use against Shane. Shane is not smart. He had quick hands. He doesn't use the jab enough and when he does use it, he's going to get countered," Floyd Sr. said.
"Shane don't punch as hard as Oscar De La Hoya? Floyd fought De La Hoya and Shane is not a bigger puncher than De La Hoya. He might swing a little wider, but as far as him hitting harder I don't know about that. You have to remember one thing, hitting doesn't mean sh*t if you can't find something to hit."
"What Oscar did to him already, it's a blueprint. Oscar beat the hell out of him already. The blueprint is already laid out for him. He ain't get no better. How is he going to get better? Shane knows what's coming."
As a slight concession, Poppa M did describe Mosley as a more difficult foe for his baby boy than Megamanny Pacquiao.
"On the real, I think Shane would be the tougher fight. Shane would be the tougher fight because of certain reasons, so figure it out. Shane would be a much tougher fight than that 'whatever' over there that fights like a machine," Floyd Sr. said.
Getting back to his "race card," Mayweather Pere does mention that he is sure that Winky Wright is an African American and so was the late Vernon Forest, killed in an Atlanta street robbery.
Why would Mayweather inject a racial issue where there is none, I don't know.
Mosley, who comes from Pomona, is a Southern California based fighter so, during both his amateur and pro careers, yes has fought many Latinos, especially Mexicans and Mexican Americans among them a guy named Oscar de la Hoya.
I mean, doh!
Secondly, the number of highly rated black American fighters is dwindling with each passing year.
Take a peek into the remaining big city boxing gyms and you would know that. Or else check out the various Alphabet Soup Group rankings.
Without Hispanics, Asians and Eastern Europeans right now, there really would be no boxing.
I know they have labeled the May 1 Mosley-Mayweather fight "Who R U Picking" which is idiotic enough but I have another name for Poppa M's latest absurd to the extreme rant.
"What R U Talking About" is what I call it.
Things are so bad that neither the United Kingdom or Mexico can truly boast of having a current superdstar attraction (though heavyweight David Haye is on the bubble in Old Blighty).
Our three top superstars are Manny Pacquiao, Li'l Floyd and Mosley. Throw in the name of Chad Dawson, Paul Williams and maybe Andre Berto. The "white spot" is admirably held down by Kelly Pavlik.
So what is Floyd Senior's point here?
Maybe if he wears a hat, it won't show.
Poppa M is like "Alice In Wonderland," things just grow curiouser and curiouser.
How come no one ever mentions the paucity of albino champions?
No disrespect intended, of course.
What's next, saying that L'il Floyd has NEVER LOST to an opponent with green eyes.
That's as true as saying he's never lost to a Pinoy...yet.
