Floyd Mayweather Jr., Oscar De La Hoya, and UFC
I decided to scrap the news roundup today in favor of bringing to your attention something arguably more interesting – i.e., Floyd Mayweather Jr. (a.k.a. “Pretty Boy”) trash-talking the greatest thing since sliced bread – the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
“UFC ain’t s—,” Mayweather said. “It ain’t but a fad. … These are guys who couldn’t make it in boxing. So they do [mixed martial arts]. Boxing is the best sport in the world and it’s here to stay.”
Is this guy for real or is he just fishing to create a sh*t storm of controversy before his fight with Oscar De La Hoya, who incidentally respects UFC?
Either way, Oscar De La Hoya vs. Mayweather Jr. is still a bout to watch. But Pretty Boy should settle this like a real man would, don’t you think? After all, the talk is cheap.
Almost every week I hear guys at the gym trash-talking Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, you name it, but they can’t even bench press their own bodyweight. I think Mayweather Jr. should stop acting like a little, well, you know…and step up to the plate.
If UFC is nothing but a fad, he has nothing to lose, right? Come on Pretty Boy, show us what’ve got!
Speaking of UFC, if you’re looking to “charge your batteries” with the proper amount of adrenaline – which should help you get through a typical Monday – this is the video to watch. Happy charging!

Boxing and UFC have totally different rules and fighting systems. Personally, I think UFC is a more rounded realistic fighting style however, college style wrestling will never be a big attraction. It seems most people prefer a stand-up, easy to see fight rather than a on the deck slow moving, even though more realistic, combat

Boxing is great. I love it. But it’s not as demanding as UFC. It has a pretty limited application and a higher injury rate. UFC is all-inclusive, which is why special ops guys train in MMA rather than boxing. I think boxing is mostly a show sport. I would love to see Mayweather Jr. in the octagon thought.
