Mayweather is a changed man and an inspiration

He's got 5 fights left. Which 5 fighters from 147-154 would you say he should fight?

 

Not one humble night. I've watched at least a dozen recent interviews with him that made me believe he's changed. He's done things that showed he's changed e.g. the way he worked hard to become reconciled with his father

It takes time to change, to become a better, more mature person. I think we have evidence to suggest he's embarked on the path of positive change.

 

I'm sure he has made a calculated move to improve his image. But I don't think this is the whole story. If it had been, at times, say, after the fight, he would have acted differently towards Guerrero and the Guerrero team. He will still sell the fight by acting controversially at times, but that doesn't mean he hasn't changed.

 

Because the rewards for cheating and not getting caught are huge in some sports and most elite level athletes assume that the opposition is taking PEDs anyway, so they are just leveling the playing field.

Plenty of high-achieving successful academics/ professionals (lawyers, doctors, financiers, etc.) take performance enhancing drugs e.g. Ritalin, even though it isn't prescribed for them by their doctor, in order to be able to work even harder, stay even more focused, perform even better during a sales pitch, interview etc. Bet you didn't know that, huh? You would consider them role-models just on the basis of their job and success? Why?

What's wrong with taking recreational drugs? Just the fact that they are illegal? So is parking on double yellow lines.

So according to you role models shouldn't smoke, drink alcohol or soda, eat sweets or junk food, etc? Well, as it happens, many don't, especially in sports, because it negatively affects their performance. Some very talented athletes do, because they think they are talented enough to overcome any negative effects, and some very talented athletes aren't role models - they are just very talented and simply cruise on their talent. But drinking, smoking, eating junk food, in itself, doesn't prevent people from being role-models, does it?

R U serious? Of course! Who wouldn't advise a very talented child to work hard to develop that talent if they thought it would help them make a very good, rewarding living out of it? Unless you're Amish or something.

...You must either be trolling or be in your mid-teens or younger.

 

You're right, it is beyond ridiculous to think that people who create threads like these think they have something in common with pro athletes or other celebrities. :good
