Floyd Mayweather Speaks
I believe that Floyd Mayweather, Jr is the best fighter in the world at this moment in time. He is certainly one of the most talented athletes around, lives and breathes his sport, and has a training regiment that is second to none. Regardless of the controversy he generates pre-fight, the reality is that he has trained for thousands of hours to get to this point, and he is not only a master, but also a student of his trade, and it shows.
Floyd is extremely personable, is in front of the camera constantly (literally) and has won forty one (41) times — he has given a post-fight press conference like this 41 times (not even mentioning his storied amateur career and Olympic career). So why are there so many “umms” and “you know’s “- verbal fillers – littered throughout the first two minutes of this press conference?
My guess – training, practice and preparation – or lack thereof.
There is no doubt in my mind that Floyd, with the proper training, preparation and practice, could be one of the most effective communicators in professional sports today. His personality and natural ability give him a great head start.
