Golden Boy troops leave General Floyd Mayweather's foxhole

He thinks he's leading a revolution in boxing.

He thinks he is, or he wants us to think he is, "Mister Clean."

He's the field general, commanding the troops into the endless war against drug cheating by fighters.

His name is Floyd Mayweather Jr., and I've got a depressing news flash for him. Behind his back, while he was looking into the horizon and focusing on Manny Pacquiao as a dirty dog, there have been major desertions in Mayweather's reform movement.

This may be a volunteer army and, if so, I foresee Mayweather fighting by himself going forward.

Even his self chosen promoter, Golden Boy, has left the fistic foxhole and hightailed it as fast as possible away from the battle scene.

(See Scott Heritage, Pittsburgher from the UK, on Mayweather's campaign to discredit Megamanny.)

Yes sir, General Mayweather has no lieutenants, no sargeants, not even a buck private asnwering his battle cry.

Yes, steroid cheater and Golden Boy VP Sugar Shane Mosley agreed to random blood and urine testing--be prepared for a knock on your Big Bear Lake training camp door at midnight, my man--but it seems as though no other boxers are enlisting in Mayweather's cause.

"I want to clean up sports, period," Mayweather told Jamie Foxx on his Sirius satelitte radio program in which the funnyman/singer/actor sucked up to "Money" almost as much as I do to Megamanny.

Hey, I said almost, Foxx needs more practice and better kneepads.

"It's not just boxing," Mayweather said.

Then Mayweather goes into a nonsensical rap about how boxing abandoned the same day weigh in (a stupid move by the way) and demands HIV tests.

"Out with the old, in with the new," Crusader Mayweather spouted.

"I'm making a stand in my sport."

Mayweather is standing allright, standing alone. Mosley only agreed to the random testing out of desperation, the man hasn't fought in 13 months and his efforts to land a Pacman bout were for naught.

But wait, the futility, the idea that Mayweather is Don Quioxte, tilting at windmills, is clearly borne out by remarks Golden Guy and Boxing Banker (I said banker, not bunco) Richie Rich Schaefer made to columnist George Willis of the New York Post.

Evdiently, Schaefer has dropped his durg reform flag except for Mayweather bouts.

"I do believe the time is here to introduce blood testing to the sport of boxing but it's not up to me," Schaefer said while in New York for the Roy Jones-Bernard Hopkins press conference.

"I'm not the commissioner. If a fighter asks for a specific contractual deal terms as far as blood testing or the size of the ring or they gloves they basically become contractual deal points," Schaefer said.

Guess RR is not in the foxhole any longer, General Floyd.

Is Manny Pacquiao the only enemy for General Mayweather's Anti Drug Cheat War? (NIke Photo)

I've no medical expertise but look for Oscar de la Hoya to get laryngitis on this issue shortly. It could be a length bout of silence for "Old Clean Hands."

What else can the intelligent Schaefer say when Hopkins, a physical marvel at age 45, and the 39 year old Jones won't submit themselves to any random blood or urine testing for their April 3 rematch in Las Vegas?

Oh, speaking of steroid cheaters, lest we forget...Roy was nabbed using steroids after a 2000 bout against Richard Hall in Indianapolis.

So Hopkins doesn't care about drug test reform and neither does Jones.

You can bet dollars to doughnuts that New York won't implement random testing for the May 15 Paulie Malignaggi-Amir Khan bout.

Ditto for New Jersey when it hosts Sergio Martinez-Kelly Pavlik on April 17.

When it comes to military leadership, Floyd Mayweather is not getting properly saluted.

Worse, he's been abandoned.

Maybe it's a certain Filipino who is the target here.

Mayweather's War goes on but he may start getting lonely.

The war is not over yet but I've got the deserters ahead on points.

    Hahahaaahaa. 'Fraud' has been exposed. Once again. Like I've said numerous times in the past. Fraud needs clinical help. If not at least an evaluation into his thought process. How can ANYONE look up to this idiot ! Sure boxing skills aside but at some point his fans have to question this guys integrity. He DISSED ALL his fans last week already. What are else are you losers waiting for ? For him to personally send you a letter telling you to F-OFF ? C'mon already, have some pride in who you are and who you portray as a hero in your life...

    Great article Marley. Let Mayweather keep going around with his crusade, in the end he only has himself to blame.

  • erniepep 2 years ago

    Good point, Marley! I think GBP Honcho & their lieutenants realized that Mayweather's gimmicks are becoming stale and could not be swallowed anymore and besides, people are tired of hearing it from different avenues singing the "SAME OLD SONG" over and over again against Pacman. It falls under Aseop's Fables: A Boy Who Cried Wolf" category. Cleaning the sports of Illegal drugs? Give me a break! To clean the sports of cheaters, I think it should emanate from his own backyard as he is perennially a known user of Xylocaine, illegal drug banned by 49 states in teh U.S.

  • darkangel 2 years ago

    I don't know how xylocaine-floyd can look at himself in the mirror everyday. And I'm also amaze at how xylocaine-floyd's mom thinks of his own son, if I were her I would've told him to just shut-up and leave the Filipino alone and just concentrate on cleaning your own body of xylocaine........

  • milagros.solidarios 2 years ago

    It's obvious that the XYLO-Fraud and his CRIMINAL family can't let go of their asinine rantings against the Pacmonster.
    .
    It's just pure and simple ENVY, and the realization that Pac can KNOCK the XYLO-girl OUT if ever they meet in the ring.
    .
    the fraud keeps on spouting his poison to discredit the Pac 'coz the fraud can never be as good.
    .
    meanwhile the major media and sponsors are lining up for the FIGHTER OF THE DECADE.
    .
    the fraud is ignored

  • milagros.solidarios 2 years ago

    American sponsor NIKE got Manny's back.

    I think Psychological testing should be applied to boxing. we can start to floydie-girl since his showing some signs of being psychotic.

  • boxingero 2 years ago

    Perfect & terrific Mr. Marley. If Floyd insists and is really serious in his crusade, he should start campaigning for all of those scheduled fights right now and not just focus on Pacman. I still believe that when the dust clears up, Floyd is just using this to duck Pacman...

  • leo 2 years ago

    he has inherited everything, genes plus the side effect of drugs, fans pay for your pocket, no fans no money, you have to unify wbc, wbo, ibf, wbo etc. to get that reform but it seems you're not even holding one of them.

    Manny Pacquiao has hollywood celebrity fans such as Sylvester Stallone, Stephen Baldwin, Steven Seagul and Jean Claude Van Damme and these are action superstars even former President Bush Jr. is also a fan of Manny Pacquiao.

  • Augustus 2 years ago

    Mr. White Gorilla,
    Yep, that's the only way to level the playing field, for the real Commissioner or Commission to institute a random blood and urine tests on ALL championship boxing bouts. If it is only against the Pacman or other Gayweather's opponents then, it's UNFAIR AND JUST SHOWING fLOYDIE IS SO AFRAID OF THE PAC. It's more like a crusade against any Gayweather's opponents and showing them right away that he is the "boss" and get a psychological edge :-)

  • randz 2 years ago

    gayweather jr.is a drug addict period just like her daddy uncle roger dumb ass!

  • Zans 2 years ago

    Jaime fuxx is soo stupid he doesn't know what he's talking. Imagine agreeing on every floyd's words. FYI jaime fuzz manny paquiao agree to have blood test 24 days before the fight and 1 minute after the fight. So what's the difference then it's not even in the rules. That's why we have a person like floyd cuz we have stupid people like jaime fuxx.

  • Lawyer 2 years ago

    Floyd is scared to fight Pacquiao. He says hes trying to "clean up the sport," but why did this all start when he was suppose to fight Pacquiao? why didnt he do that when he fought Marquez or Hatton or De La Hoya? The guy is scared of Pacquiao.

  • Ignorance of Floyd Sr. 2 years ago

    Sorry if this has nothing to do with the article but Floyd Joy Mayweather Sr. is also on PED's and steroids. If anyone saw HBO's 24/7 of pac-hatton you'll understand where I'm coming from. Notice in one of the epsiodes where Mayweather Sr. was flexing and doing push ups that guy looks like a rock. Now with the assisstance of Sr's ingnorance NOBODY that old could look and be built like that eating whatever he wants and drinking kool-aid and still maintain that type of build. You see all the older boxers of the past and they're fat but not Sr. "That guy is on something, I know it." Just food for thought

  • boxing101 2 years ago

    How would Golden Boy promotions not dare to say amen this time cause most of their boxers got involve in drug cheating,their head honcho Oscar is still silent about his drug allegations,dont he ever dare open his mouth about drug cheaters should be banned for life in boxing or else no boxers would be left in his stable!
