Floyd Mayweather

Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, who says he's on vacation from boxing for a year, has gone rogue. Dammit, and just when I was beginning to admire his boxing skills and lean towards him being possibly the best pound-for-pound boxer.

Floyd posted a ustream clip on-line which basically shows him talking smack about when he meets Manny Pacquiao and what he's going to do to him. The smack was full of what folks are calling racist tones and vulgar language.

Not sure what prompted Floyd to go on his rant but something has lit a fire under him that has him steaming to fight Pacquiao. The odd thing is he had his chance a few months back and walked away from signing the contract. Pacquiao is scheduled to fight Antonio Margarito on Nov. 13th in Dallas, Texas. So why is Floyd now trying to stir up things when he was willing to let things be back then?

Some people might call it the green-eyed monster; Jealousy! Most see it as Floyd just letting the money and fame go to his head and acting as if he's above the game.

Give me a champion with just a smidgen of class and decency and I'll sing his praises all through the sports world. Unfortunately, just when I was warming up my voice to sing-a-long to a "Pretty Boy Floyd" tune, the lyrics turned raunchy and rhythm lost its tempo.

Aint' nothing too pretty these days in following the career and antics of Floyd Mayweather.
