It was surprising to read that Floyd Mayweather has admitted that he needs to be careful in selecting future opponents now that he’s in the home stretch of his career.

Mayweather told David Mayo of the Grand Rapids Press newspaper that he is tentatively planning to fight five or six more times. "Safe to say, probably this one (vs. Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas on May 5) plus five more. And of course I’m not looking to fight six strong champions."

There you go. Not that Mayweather has EVER sought out to fight the strongest, most formidable of champions, at the pinnacle prime of their careers. Floyd’s made a career of "smart business decisions" or, in other words, carefully handpicking safe, inferior or disadvantaged opponents.

"I’m older now, you know what I’m saying?" added Mayweather.

Yes, we know what you’re saying Floyd. We’ve known it all along. You don’t have to tell us you do not want to ever enter a ring and trade strikes with strong champions like Manny Pacquiao or Sergio Martinez. We already know that.

What boxing fans would really like to know is why the hell would HBO fund and invest in a Mayweather farewell exhibition tour of set up "fights" when the biggest Super Bowl event in boxing history is there to be forced and made?

Does HBO with Al Haymon and Richard Schaefer really want to take the sport of boxing in that WWE direction? Do the powers that be sincerely care and respect what millions of boxing fans around the world want more than anything – to see Floyd Mayweather enter a ring and box 12 rounds or less with Manny Pacquiao? Why on earth would the powers that be continue to protect and invest its vast resources into a fraud coward fighter for another additional TWO years of bull****?

"And of course I’m probably not looking to fight six strong champions." Ken Hershman, the ball is in your court. It’s a turning point moment right now, these next few months.

You can either let boxing continue in this wrong direction and become a charade of it’s once great self – or you can take a stand and make boxing be what it once was, the greatest sport on the planet, where the best competed against the best, and the world looked on in collective awe and respect.

Ken Hershman, you know what you have to do. Just do it.
(I think mayweather is amazing by the way)
