I Hate Floyd Mayweather Jr. And His Entire Family
There was a time, not very long ago it seems, when possessing a major title belt represented greatness. Every fighter once strived to own at least one. Not anymore. When Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley enter the ring Saturday night (HBO pay-per-view at 9 ET), the atmosphere inside MGM Grand Garden Arena will have a championship-bout feel. However, there won't be a single belt up for grabs. That sits quite well with Mayweather. He couldn't care less about the World Boxing Association welterweight title belt that Mosley currently owns. Being a champion is no longer on Mayweather's priority list. Legacy and money motivate Mayweather now. "At this level, it's not about belts," Mayweather's top adviser Leonard Ellerbe said. "It's about fighting … to improve his legacy; and it's about money. "Floyd's already the best fighter in the world. Why does he need to fight for a belt to prove that?"
