As you've probably seen on the front page of FH, HBO's showing what should be an interesting interview with Floyd Mayweather.

Not only is the subject of the interview a boxer that has proven that he completely understands the sport that we all love, but also a very high profile person who seems to have matured recently. I would expect that this interview will give us more insight into the mind of who I consider to be the best in the sport.

What makes this even more interesting is that Dr. Michael Eric Dyson is not only an intelligent guy (although he has said a couple of things that I disagree with), but he's shown me that he can get to the heart of the matter.

HBO tonight at 10.30pm ET/PT.

I was pleasantly surprised by this interview. I sometimes cringe when floyd talks and I never cared for Michael Eric Dyson, however, I thought it was a phenomenal interview. This history about his dad went further than HBO cares to go. Floyd was more genuine than normal. He seemed more comfortable than he normally is in the media. Nothing seemed scripted or planned. I really liekd it. It was like sitting down with Floyd as a job interviewer and saying "tell me about yourself."

These dumb ass interviewers/reporters still dont get the point. If you ask this guy a decent question and let him speak freely, then you tend to get more info. As soon as they start with the "Pacquiao poking", then the chance of any useful information goes out of the window.

I do get tired of him saying the same thing over and over again, but again, when he's allowed to talk, he usually gives viewers more insight. I enjoyed those ESPN interviews with Brian Kenny, though he can be an ass, they were still funny!

totally agree.

i just can't get past the whole thing with his pops. it's disappointing to me that floyd disrespects the man the way he does. i get the whole ego thing. it's extremely obvious to me that floyd sr just wants to bask in the glow that is his son. let the man in floyd!!! u wouldn't be where u are at without him!

ok...so floyd jr should at the very least give his pops props. i just watched an interview where he talks about his pops going to jail when he was 16...and how he was being invited to camps...and training with guys like frankie randall and pernell whitaker....at 17 and 18. where was roger for all of that? in the last 24/7 he talked about when he moved out to vegas and started working with roger. he was a finished product at that point. saying his talent is god given is all fine and dandy...but floyd sr is the one that delivered that talent to him from god. give the man his props. floyd jr would not be where he is with floyd sr.

He gave his pops props in the Dyson interview...kinda. :-)
