On the heels of yet another news story about Floyd Mayweather's self-righteous woman-hating campaign on Instagram, critics are starting to chip away at Money May's invincible persona. Mayweather's sexist rant about what women should and shouldn't be allowed to wear might not come as a surprise to most of you, but what may be surprising is that many critics say he can be beaten. Is the champ's undefeated streak almost over? Or will he continue to carefully craft a safe and uncontested championship reign?
Despite the unavoidable truth that Floyd Mayweather certainly is talented, there is often the sense that critics feel he is a paper champion, lining his reign with title defenses that present no real threat to his title (via Boxing News 24):
"Due to his undefeated record, Mayweather is perceived as untouchable, and one of the best boxers of all time. That is false. Putting him in the top 50 would be extremely generous. He is undefeated, and although he is a good boxer, he is not undefeated because he is such a great boxer. He is undefeated because of the dearth of quality in his opposition. He is a[n] all-time great businessman in the sport, but not when it comes to what happens inside the ring."
One thing Mayweather is not an all-time great at is respecting women:
"Acting like a character straight out of a 50's public service announcement Mayweather posted a rant on Instagram justifying ill treatment of women based on how they dress... And it's precisely that wealth and influence that buys him the gall to use rape rhetoric to advise women on how to appear in public."
Mayweather may lose a match one day, or he may not. But he has already lost the fight for his reputation as a decent human being.
