Why I Admire Floyd Mayweather
I have never met Floyd Mayweather. I have never been to seeany of his fights in person, and despite a sizable population of boxing fans,who may not support him, he is a man I model myself from and look up to.
For most of my life, I have never really had muchself-confidence or belief. I often shied away from situations and circumstancesthat would challenge me and test my will power. I would accept what theenvironment gave me, instead of creating my own success and growing as an individual.Fortunately for me, I learned a skill set that would change my life – modelling.I looked at the people already succeeding in a particular area and modelledtheir actions and beliefs.
The first time I actually saw a Floyd Mayweather fight, wasagainst Ricky Hatton. I didn't have anything against Floyd, but being from theU.K, I was behind Hatton, all the way. Of course I was disappointed with theresult, but this was when I began learning about Floyd Mayweather.
I hear a lot of talk about Floyd Mayweather. A lot of it isnegative, and whether that is jealousy or perhaps something deeper within theindividual's feelings against him, I do not know and do not pay any attention.When I see Floyd Mayweather I don't see a man who is rich, who owns many homesand cars. I don't see the negative press and public opinion about the way heconducts his life, I see someone who has unbelievable self-belief andconfidence. A fighting will power – both literally and fictitiously – a man whoknows what he wants and gets it. My characters in the novels I write often havesimilar values – that fighting spirit and tenacity.
People can judge Floyd Mayweather for what he says and theway he conducts himself, as everyone is entitled to their opinion, but they cannever question, his extraordinary belief, his unquestionable will, and thestandards he sets for what's possible in life.
Thank you, Floyd, for instilling those values in me, forraising my standards for what's possible, and showing me how to infuse thatconfidence and self-belief that I have been missing for most of my life.
