I have been wanting to write boxing articles for the past several months but this is my first actual submission. I’m a very huge fan of boxing and I like discussing about my favorite boxers. One of my favorite boxers is Floyd Mayweather Jr. I think Floyd is really a very good boxer. Now let me tell you why I think he’s a beast.
First of all, let me tell you, in case you don’t know, beast is a synonym for the word animal. Some people who don’t speak English as their primary language may not be very familiar with the word “beast” so I’ll go ahead and use “animal” instead. So as I was saying, I think Floyd is an animal. There are millions of people who will agree with me. But I’m confused what kind of animal he is. Most people think he is a “duck”. According to them, Floyd ducked every opponent that he thinks can beat him. He has never fought a top welterweight before. In fairness to Floyd, he is now set to fight Mosley on May 1. Wait, did I hear somebody say “Mosley is almost 40!”? Ok, nevermind.
Some people also believe that Mayweather is a chicken disguising as a human being. WELL NO!!! When did a chicken ever learn how to wear boxing gloves? Is that because all Floyd does is run around the ring like a scared little chick? I don’t think it’s a bad skill at all. In fact, he’s very good at that. I fancy Floyd to beat Usain Bolt. Wait, if Floyd runs that fast then he could also be a Kangaroo, no? Well it could also be a YES, since his tribe had setup a Kangaroo Court and accused Pacquiao of taking PEDs.
Another animal which can be attributed to Floyd is the “rabbit”. As James Toney once said: “I grew up with Floyd. We all came from the same block in Michigan. Me, the Mayweather family, Buster Mathis, Tony Tucker… The ‘Hall of Fame’ block, you know what I’m saying? I love Floyd and I’m glad he’s doing what he’s doing… but if you claim to be the best fighter in the world in the world pound-for-pound… fight! Don’t make no excuses. Pacquiao’s going to knock Floyd out… and Floyd knows it. Floyd’s my man and I love him but I’m going to call it like I see it. The thing is this: Do you know what a rabbit does when it gets backed into a corner? It faints. And that’s what Floyd’s doing.” Now that’s a big statement from no less than future Hall of Famer and boxing legend James ‘Lights Out’ Toney.
Honestly, I didn’t know what title to give this article. It took me longer to decide on a title than the actual time it took me to write it. At first, I was thinking: “Is Floyd a duck, chicken, kangaroo or rabbit?” But then it didn’t sound that good so I called up my grandma, and she said in a pale shaky voice: “Mayweather is a beast”. I was so excited and I hurriedly submitted this article with the current title. When the editor published the article, I called up my grandma again and told her that my first article is already online. So my old lady went online and checked boxingkibitz.com. She called me back on my phone and yelled: “I said: Mayweather is a bitch, not beast!” Grandmother knows best.
