The big surprise regarding the next fighter Floyd Mayweather will take on in the ring wasn’t the identity, Robert Guerrero, who was the first name to come up when Mayweather announced the dates of his 2013 fights, but for choosing Showtime as his PPV route to the masses. More
It was only the second time Adrien Broner fought in a Lightweight bout, but already it seems this division and this title (WBC) are too small for his abilities and aspirations.

How will Floyd Mayweather be remembered, when his days inside the boxing ring are over?
