Mayweather Proves Pound-for-Pound King

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. dominated DeMarcus Corley to win a twelve-round decision in Atlantic City tonight. Mayweather sent "Chop Chop" to the canvas twice, and fought in a brawling style despite his advantages as a boxer. He fought Corley's fight and still dominated. That's how good he is.

Even before Antonio Tarver's upset knockout of Roy Jones last week, I believed Mayweather to be the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. HBO aired Tarver's second round KO of Jones tonight, too. Tarver landed the perfect punch (How else, but by perfection, do you beat Roy Jones?). Tarver also has a mouth to rival his left hook.

When the referee asked the obligatory "Any questions?" Tarver shocked everybody by declaring: ""I got a question. You got any excuses tonight, Roy?" Sure, Tarver's perfect punch got people talking about him. But like Muhammed Ali and Ray Leonard, his mouth will put dollar bills in his bank account. He beat Roy in the ring, and I think we'll see, he'll also beat Roy at selling a fight.
