There have only been three interviews in my life that I was excited to see this is number 4. Rev. Dr. Michael Eric Dyson is going to interview Floyd Mayweather on HBO in April. Dr. Dyson former Professor of Harvard and Univ. Penn and is at Georgetown Univ. will do a great job. He is from Detroit and this man does not ask easy questions. His debate with Dr. Cornell West was OUTSTANDING. I wonder what kind of questions will be asked. I hope Floyd take this opportunity to really show Floyd Mayweather and not the personality. I am sure Dr. Dyson will ask him about his jail sentence, relationship with his dad and other hot topics. Who ever thought of this gets two thumbs way up.

I will watch the interview strictly as a fan of boxing and of Floyd Mayweather. But I do not like Dyson because in my opinion he's full of shit. He's an opportunist who uses his degrees to act as if he knows everything. He got his "big break" by writing that terrible book on Tupac. He's Michael Wilbon with a weak fade in my opinion

Michael Eric Dyson is intelligent, yet he made a remark years ago that inner city kids could learn more from Hip hop than they could the civil rights struggle??? I mean come on... as a holder of a Phd.... I found this to be intellectually baffling... and laughable.. He could not have meant that-- he must have been trying to gain followers and sell some books. Cornell West on the other hand has flip flopped from his post modernist and flight analysis diatribes to being respectable in his critiques of HUSSEIN OBAMA... He has let him have it and he and ME Dyson have been among the few Black people with the balls to call out OBAMA on his weak leadership.. ME Dyson more than likely will make it somewhat comfortable for Floyd... coming from Detroit Michigan and Floyd being loved in Detroit... I don't see him attacking or playing devils advocate that much... yet again HBO may have paid him to bring out his intellectual sword on Floyd.. we will see
