The Myth & Reality of Mayweather By T.Hauser

Maywetaher? That some Egyptian god?

 

Hauser is one of the very few people writing about boxing who are genuinely top notch investigative journalists with a real talent for language.

 

lol Mayweather has retired and you losers still can't stop talking about him.

 

Yes...the God that defeated the Pharoah of the Decade Måhnnÿ Påcqüïäø

 

I think he is retired now, fool. Can't you wait until he comes back again? He will always be relevant to losers like you because your life is based around hating him. Pac's friend indeed. lol Pac wouldn't associate with a loser like you.

 

Guys, this is a very old Hauser article, post Mayweather/Mosely...

 

It says 41-0

 

THAT GOD USED MAGICAL IV THO. :rofl

 

Wow I can't believe this guy is actually an acclaimed writer . The writing in this article was so generic, I consider it terrible.

First of all his biased hate against Mayweather is blatantly obvious, especially when he puts stuff that Mayweathet says or implied in quotes .

His writing is so amateur , when talking about Floyds "supposed" money problems he randomly inserts a single quote from his dad with no context "he had money problems"... Yikes

I don't like Mayweather, but I despise this article and more importantly I'm offended some one so untalented is a acclaimed author. This article has nothing to with man or myth like it's titled . Is too long, it's written poorly , it has nothing interesting to say , and it's straight up boring and made me regret I spent so much time reading it.

 

It is clear from this article and other articles by Hauser that he doesn't hate Floyd. He dislikes Floyd as a person, in my opinion, and he, like many of us boxing fans, don't quite rate Floyd as highly, boxing wise, as he rates himself.

Hate/hater are words that get bandied about far to much these days. You can not be enamoured with someone and still not hate them.

As for it being biased, it is an opinion piece. Not all journalism has to be unbiased and completely devoid of feeling (good or bad). This is a common misconception on journalism.

As for the part about him having money issues and the quote from his father that you claimed had no context - it is hard to get to the truth of Floyd's money issues back then as Floyd would never admit to it if it were true. This is obvious considering Floyd places so much emphasis on making money that it is not inconceivable to imagine that he would not highlight any troubles with money that he may be having. Floyd admitting to money troubles is like admitting to having a small *****.

I thought it was a decent piece. It's one flaw was that it tried to cover to much in such a small piece. It may have been a relatively long article for a magazine/website, but in the grand scheme of things, and considering what it was trying to say (Floyd inside and outside of the ring from Floyd's perspective and the writers own perspective) there was not enough room to really go in depth. It was more of a brief summary on a subject that could easily fill a book.

It is certainly not Hauser's best piece ever, but even an average Hauser piece is better than 99% of boxing journalists out there.
