Mayweather Jr turns another year older but age hasn’t slowed down his massive ego

Yesterday, Floyd Mayweather Jr celebrated his 33rd birthday in probably “Money May” fashion. As one gets older, one tends to mature and become wiser. But, not Floyd Mayweather Jr. Age might slow down his physical attributes but age hasn’t slowed down Mayweather’s giant ego.

In a recent interview with the Grand Rapids Press, Floyd shared his thoughts on numerous topics. Clearly wisdom, maturity, and humbleness were not what he wished for as he blew out the birthday candles.

Sparring partners
"I don't have to bring anybody in special. Other fighters are like, 'Oh, I'm facing Floyd Mayweather,' but to me, they're just fighters. All of them are the same. They're just fighters. They're all just one-dimensional." FMJ

Is this a sign of being overconfident in his fight with Mosley? Does he really think that nobody can come in and spar with him to better himself for Mosley? So Manny brings some really tough competition for sparring, but Floyd just shrugs it off? I think it’s clear who has more respect for their opponents.

Criticism of his past opponents
“They build these guys up so high, so high, once I beat them, they say, 'Oh, he really wasn't all that.' Once I beat him, he's not all that. But before I beat him, he was King Kong.” FMJ

I don’t recall many fighters that Floyd has faced who was hyped up as King Kong. However, if anyone does the “over the top” pre-fight hype it’s usually Floyd doing all the talking.

Floyd’s focus
“So my focus never changes -- do what I do, be happy and stay positive." FMJ

This happens to be one of the only things I can honestly agree with Floyd on. He always does what he can do to make himself happy. Let’s not forget how he says he only lives for himself and not for the fans. Floyd is all about Floyd. I wonder what he got himself for his birthday?

Janice Parker Sacramento, CA “What would you get Floyd for his birthday?”

Janice this is a very simple but entertaining question. I would probably get him a mirror so he can see how pretty he is; a microphone so he can continue to tell the world how pretty he is; and a superhero’s cape since he’s “Captain Drug Crusader” out to clean up all of the world’s sports. Or maybe just the sports that he bets on?

Luke Dillon Sacramento, CA “Will Floyd ever get over himself?”

In short, NO he won’t. How can he? He’s his own best friend. He talks about himself in third person like there’s another Floyd sitting right next to him.

Conclusion
Floyd is all about having his cake and eating it too. It’s no surprise that not even age can slow down his massive ego. It’s clear that delusions run deep through that family.
