The Down Fall of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The down fall of Floyd Mayweather Jr. will not be caused by the destroying left hand of Manny Pacquiao or the significant height/reach/work rate of Paul Williams or any top threatening contender out there in fact it will not even come in the form of a fighter at all.

The downfall of Mayweather will be junk food.

Yes, a poor eating habit is something that the Mayweathers have all been taking lightly for all of their lives.

You may recall in the 24/7 episode when his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. showed up late to train Ricky Hatton for the Pacquiao fight due to his daily Taco Bell run to the Pretty Boy himself flaunting junk food almost as much as he makes it rain with money.

In 2005, Mayweather had his official coming out party to the masses when he faced crowd pleasing legend Arturo Gatti for the WBC light welter weight title.

One shocking incident that stunned most journalists was at his open work out media day. He finished doing his legendary signature sit up routines then reached into a box of Krispy Kreme donuts and ate a donut in front of all the media and said in his own words that only a true champion like him can eat anything he wants.

There are even several videos of Floyd doing sit ups while eating greasy chips or hitting the speed bag while drinking a carbonated soda with one hand.

For those of us full-time health nuts or even part time health nuts we know that certain junk foods just do not agree with our stomachs and bodies. Also, the older you get the more damage these poor eating habits take their toll on your body in the long run.

Floyd has been seen eating everything from some liquid cheese that sprays from a can to various candies.

Did anyone see his legendary MTV Cribs episode he states he has no love for five star dining and prefers to keep it real with Top Ramen noodles instead?

Some of my former female co-workers have rolled with Mayweather and they have said he has been known to go to Burger King up to three times a day.

Last weekend I was in Las Vegas for a friend’s bachelor party and one member of our entourage was at Fatburger at 3 am Saturday morning and guess which undefeated American pound for pound champion was there in the drive thru?

Yes it was Money May.

You maybe saying, but wait Floyd trains like a machine and his body is so ripped and perfect. Yes, Floyd is the man and trains 200 percent.

He has been known to start jogging the second after he leaves a Las Vegas night club in the middle of the night.

But again junk food, fast food, and poor eating habits kills and Floyd is now 32 years old and his body has been through a lot as he admitted was the number one reason for his most longest recent retirement.

If you take a look at the diets of all the past and current champions they all eat extremely healthy, only veggies and high protein diets of chicken and fish.

Then of course today our champions hire the best nutritionists that their seven figure purses can allow them to hire.

So why is Mayweather the one fighter that has gotten away with the poor eating lifestyle for so long?

Will it be the downfall of this undefeated pound for pound American great?
