Is? roger mayweather really? the best fighter in world, as he claims?

Question

and can afford the luxury of going against a wwe wrestler? he gets big money, but! if! injured, won't the money from boxing be lost? and yes!! i know wwe is staged!! but one never knows!1

Answer 1

**** no, if you mean floyd yes

Answer 2

You mean Floyd Mayweather Jr.?  Floyd is only fighting in big fights anyway.  There are few boxing matches where he'd land $20M, so the WWE gig is a smart move.  Could he sustain an injury?  Sure.  But since it's staged, it's not definite.  Plus he doesn't plan to fight again until September (rematch vs De La Hoya) so even if he sustained a minor injury, that's plenty of time to recover.  And if it takes longer, hey, he made $20M for doing it (after making $25M for fighting DLH), so I think he'll be fine.

Answer 3

No, Roger definitely isn't the best fighter in the world but his nephew Floyd is probably the best pound for pound boxer in the world. As you say wrestling is staged there has got to be about a 1000 times more chance of getting hurt in a real fight which Floyd does every few months rather than being threw against some ropes for ten minutes and someone pretending to jump on you in a wrestling match. I would think he will be OK and the 20 million dollars he is reportedly getting will probably make it all the easier.
