Floyd Mayweather with his many boxing titles. But which 'gold' means more to him?

I got up bright and early at 2am on Cinco de Mayo to enjoy, with all of you via our live chat coverage, boxing’s current equivalent of Christmas: Floyd Mayweather Jr in action.

I had hoped to find time to squeeze in a blog on the bout shortly after its conclusion, but alas, time did not permit courtesy of Ronnie O’Sullivan, Sir Alex Ferguson and a few supporting cast members taking up any and all spare time at Eurosport Towers.

In retrospect, it was in fact for the best as while Mayweather’s latest comfortable victory over a hand-selected opponent soon faded into the record books, the real

Former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson will star as a cartoon detective, with a pigeon as a sidekick, in a new animated series on US cable network Adult Swim said on Friday.

Tyson, who recently toured his one-man autobiographical stage show, "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth," will give voice to his cartoon character on the "Mike Tyson Mysteries" crime-solving series.

Tyson, 46, will be aided by a magical tattoo on his character's face and a foul-mouthed pigeon as a partner on the 15-minute show, Adult Swim said. Tyson in real life owns racing pigeons.

Floyd Mayweather showed yet again why he is, conclusively, the greatest fighter of his generation.

He brilliantly outboxed Robert Guerrero on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden, cruising to a wide unanimous decision in their WBC welterweight title fight that probably would have been a stoppage had he not injured his right hand in the middle of the fight.

Mayweather is far beyond being judged against his peers, but the lack of depth and quality among them keeps him from seriously being regarded as one of the 10 best fighters ever.

It was hardly the classiest tactic, but trainer Ruben Guerrero injected plenty of intrigue into his son Robert's upcoming welterweight title bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Wednesday.

After a boring thank-you fest disguised as a news conference in the MGM Grand's Hollywood Theatre, promoter Oscar De La Hoya invited Ruben Guerrero to the dais to say a few words. Virtually every other speaker had gone on in a monotone fashion, thanking every entity possible, name-dropping sponsors ad nauseum and predicting a great fight.

When it comes to boxing, more so than any other sport, the British fan loves having something to ridicule.

This past Saturday was as prime an example as any that domestic products make more of a name for themselves as water-cooler talk than they do in a strictly sporting sense. Even before a hand had been taped, there was talk of Amir Khan being washed-up and Audley Harrison being a sitting duck.

It’s easy to blame this purely on the media, but the media will prioritise stories which garner the most attention. Supply for the demand, and all that. So the blame game is a bit rich, to say the

Floyd Mayweather, said Richard Schaefer on Tuesday as he looked across a large crowd that had gathered in the lobby of the MGM Grand specifically to catch a brief glimpse of the world's best boxer, is a details man.

The chief executive officer of Golden Boy Promotions, Schaefer said there are few details of a business deal that escape Mayweather's eagle-eyed scrutiny.

On this day, the people had crowded around a makeshift boxing ring erected in the lobby to help promote Mayweather's welterweight title fight Saturday in the Grand Garden Arena against Robert Guerrero. Many were snapping photos;

British Olympic gold-medallist boxer Audley Harrison has finally called time on a tumultuous professional career at the age of 41 after 12 years.

'A-Force' will unfortunately be remembered mostly for his failed attempts to make an impact on the world heavyweight title scene which included brutal first round stoppages in the last seven months and the hands of both David Price and Deontay Wilder.

Harrison, however, was also a seminal amateur boxer for Great Britain and his super-heavyweight golds at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur and 2000 Olympics in Sydney came at a time when

Despite spending two months in prison for punching former long-term partner Josie Harris, Floyd Mayweather Jr has wasted no opportunity to deny and downplay the events of September 9, 2010. In fact, boxing's biggest draw tells a very different version of what happened on the night that ultimately led to his incarceration last summer.

Harris has refused to detail the attack until now, choosing instead to relocate with the three children she shares with Mayweather to Valencia, California.

However, after a scene in Showtime's "30 Days In May" – an hour-long documentary used to promote
