I don’t think I mentioned the Mayweather-Hatton destruction last month, but I did watch it. I actually watched both of Pretty Boy Floyd’s fights last year. The first one wasn’t so impressive, but I couldn’t even front on him last month. He was good. And he won me some money. I had bet on a KO in 11, so I won the dough. Good times all around.
Of course, the best part about a Mayweather fight isn’t the fight, or even Mayweather himself. Personally, I find the “money” persona to be borderline insufferable. Naw, the best thing about a Mayweather fight is the older Mayweathers, Floyd Sr. and Roger. To hear them talk is a thing of beauty.
As people who know me know (and if you don’t, you can look down a couple posts and see the breakdown on ass-compounds), I’m particular to AAVE, particular the more…spicy version. At one time, my favorite word in the world was “motherfucker,” and even though that’s not necessarily the case any more, it still has a special place in my heart. Bearing that in mind, it’s only natural that I love to listen to Big Floyd and Uncle Roger. Number one, because they’re SO vulgar with it, but number two, because of their cadence. They, like the late Robin Harris, say the word the way it’s supposed to be said.
All that notwithstanding, Big Floyd had some…interesting comments on Li’l Floyd’s potential foray into mixed martial arts from an interview at fighthype.com. (If you’re linguistically sensitive, stop NOW!)
“He ain’t got to worry about retiring. When they get through with his ass, he will be retired. He will be retired fucking with them motherfuckers. They would love to fight him. This ain’t no fucking boxing; ain’t none of these motherfuckers scared of his ass. I’ll fight one of them motherfuckers if they just want to throw their guards up. I’m old and I’ll beat they ass, but when they start talking about that going to the ground, elbows and knees and all of that, man fuck that shit. I ain’t about to go in there. Them motherfuckers dangerous man. One thing about it, them guys can take a fucking punch man. Those guys will laugh at Lil Floyd when he hit them.”
If a person’s gonna cuss, they should model after Big Floyd and Uncle Roger. Seriously.
