    Back when Floyd was younger, Merchant used to say Floyd wanted to become Cash Cow by being a knockout artist. So maybe in a perfect world, Floyd wouldn't be a little black kid with average power.

    He said he wanted to be the first Floyd Mayweather if that counts for anything.

    Sugar Ray Leonard doesn't seem to mind.

    “Of all the fighters today, I have to say that Mayweather reminds me the most of me. The kid has every gift and physical attribute"
