4. Not to defend Mayweather, who's a scumbag, habitual woman beater, but

this article is shit.

I stopped reading after this:

Ironically, the story begins with Mayweather claiming to be a champion for battered women. In 2001, Mayweather fought what was then the biggest fight of his career, against the favored Diego "Chico" Corrales. Corrales, a deeply troubled but usually benevolent soul, was facing an impending jail sentence for assaulting his wife.

Usually benevolent soul? Corrales, who was a multiple division world champion boxer, was sent to jail for punching his wife and throwing her down a flight of stairs when she was pregnant.

You can't send up a guy for being a misogynist, woman beating asshole while taking it easy on another loathsome abuser of women.
