After years of dodging, ducking, dipping, diving, and dodging a fight with Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather settled the raging debate like he settles everything in the ring–easily, and with a sleep-inducing effect more lethal than a dozen Ambien with a Johnny Walker chaser.
But hey, he’s the best. Masterful defensive, deadly accurate punching, and an other-wordly knowledge of the sport make him the top dog, even at 38-years-old.
Will he really retire after one last fight in September? If so, hopefully he goes out fighting a hungry youngster like Keith Thurman and not a frequently concussed veteran like Andre Berto.
Chances are quite high that whoever he fights, he’ll be 49-0 after the battle. As dislikable as he is outside the ring, there’s no denying that he’s an all-time-great with the gloves on.
