Late last night Floyd Mayweather and Marcos Maidana exchanged the following emails forwarded to me by confidential sources in each camp.<\/p>\n

\nSubject: Punishing Mayweather <\/p>\n
I know what you think and don\u2019t care because it doesn\u2019t matter I lost every round my first fight as a welterweight, against Devon Alexander, about two years ago. You think you\u2019ll own me, but you don\u2019t understand how much I\u2019ve grown. I\u2019m not only talking in physical terms, getting bigger and stronger and hitting much harder now that I\u2019ve assimilated seven more pounds. I\u2019m referring to my mind. In my next fight I took on a guy who had seven losses, a good fighter but more appropriate for someone new to this division, and knocked him down in the seventh and finished him in the eighth. I stepped up in competition my next two fights and stopped both those guys, too.<\/p>\n
\tAfter that, I knew what Adrien Broner was thinking: he\u2019d be too fast and tough for me. Let me guarantee you: no welterweight is too tough. I\u2019m realistic and understand you\u2019re faster, but tougher, no way. Ask Broner, who like me started out too high in a new division, in his case jumping a dozen ill-advised pounds. But he\u2019s a talented guy, and he\u2019s got heart, otherwise he wouldn\u2019t have survived the pounding I gave his head and body. <\/p>\n
\tYou believe Broner\u2019s merely your little boxing brother, and I agree. I\u2019m not going to bust you up like I did him. You\u2019re hard to hit, especially in the head. I won\u2019t go out swinging for your face still smooth after a lifetime in the ring. I\u2019ll target your body. I\u2019ll bang some ribs. I\u2019ll bust your stomach. I\u2019ll test your heart. You\u2019ve got a good one, I know, but no one seems to hit it or even try. You\u2019re not going to block or evade all my bombs downstairs. And after awhile you won\u2019t be moving or thinking as well. That\u2019s when I\u2019ll nail you with left hooks to the head and your bell will ring like it never has. That\u2019s when those Mayweather fans start cheering for me. They know you don\u2019t want a war, and war is exactly what most of them crave.<\/p>\n

I knew that\u2019s what you were thinking and that\u2019s what you\u2019ve got to think even though it\u2019s delusional. You\u2019re not going to be banging my body because every time you get close enough to try I\u2019ll pop you with overhand rights. Seriously, I\u2019m worried about your head, but I\u2019m not holding back. You step into the ring with Floyd Mayweather, you get carved by an artist who doesn\u2019t like people in his studio. You\u2019ll barely touch me. Floyd\u2019s the one who does the touching. I doubt you\u2019ll win more than two or three rounds. Canelo Alvarez didn\u2019t, and he\u2019s bigger and better than you. If I didn\u2019t think that, we wouldn\u2019t be fighting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
