Ultimate challenge for Mayweather
Floyd Mayweather stands
almost 5-foot-9, weighs 154 pounds, has a 72-inch reach and can drop
most mortals with a single swing of either hand.
He's fast, athletic and dodges punches as well as anyone, maybe ever. In
13 world title fights, he won all 13. His next one is May 5 in Las
Vegas, this time as a junior middleweight, against Oscar de la Hoya, as
big a fight as boxing has seen in years.
His nickname may be "Pretty Boy," but he is one bad, bad man.
On Cinco de Mayo we'll find out if the heavily-favored Mayweather can
beat de la Hoya – but could he beat a snarling, menacing, multi-skilled
champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship?
