“The Golden Boy” needs his former opponent to be carried out with boxing.
Floyd Mayweather competed final weekend (Sat., Aug. 24, 2024) in a fully abysmal exhibition boxing match towards John Gotti III. The pointless rematch ended with no consequence as a result of the combat was an exhibition, and it was not formally scored, though Mayweather dominated (watch highlights or lack thereof).
Yesterday, Oscar Del La Hoya hopped on Instagram to debate a slew of subjects, together with the horrible boxing match, and pleaded for Mayweather to cease boxing.
“Floyd Mayweather fought one other exhibition towards Gotti final Saturday, an actual sh-t present that left the gang booing within the area on the finish,” De La Hoya stated. “In the course of the second spherical, Floyd actually had the referee swapped out. He didn’t like that the referee instructed him to cease hitting behind the top. Floyd is used to having the refs do no matter he needs, and he wasn’t getting his manner this time. It was so embarrassing.
“Floyd, you’re 50 years outdated. You’re a legend on this sport, and I’ve stood up for you in numerous interviews, together with Shannon Sharpe’s podcast final week. You need to cease embarrassing your self with these exhibitions. I do know life is difficult and life is pricey, however come on man, put your legacy first. No one needs to recollect you want this…I hate seeing this occur, bro. Floyd, I’m rooting for you; let’s flip it round.”
One thing have to be improper when Del La Hoya makes full sense in 2024. Mayweather will go down as the most effective prizefighter of all time as a result of he retains getting away with making hundreds of thousands on these horrific exhibitions, however as time goes on, his legacy could take a success, as De La Hoya stated.
The 2 boxing legends fought in 2007, wherein Mayweather bested “The Golden Boy” by way of cut up determination.
However, it’s uncertain that Mayweather will observe De La Hoya’s recommendation and combat once more subsequent 12 months.
Yippee.
