HBO's Mayweather-Marquez 24/7, epsiode 3

Just when you thought it was safe to like Floyd Mayweather Jr., we have the urine episode. We knew Floyd was watching last week, so we knew this was coming. Sort of. We just didn't expect the depth at which it arrived. Yes, Floyd Mayweather Jr. commented on Juan Manuel Marquez's "urine therapy" from episode two during episode three of Mayweather-Marquez 24/7.

To this point, Floyd has been enjoyable, alternating between a care-free, funny young man and a mature son searching for a better relationship with his father. Then, JMM drank his own urine (most people I spoke with were indeed bothered by it) and Floyd had to weigh in.

Here's a compilation of his quotes, "Tell him to open his mouth, I'll give him some gorialla piss ... Stupid motherf-----." Then, to the young kids in the room, he began calling him, "pee-pee mouth ... pee-pee man ... pis mouth."

OK. On to the rest.

Best Spoken Line, Floyd Mayweather Jr.: "You put him in front of me and I am gong to beat him. Tell someone to shut me up. I'm a one-man army, world can go against me and I am gong to come out on top." Floyd's right about this. Until someone beats him, he can pretty much say what he wants. The line about being a one-man army speaks to a fighter's belief in himself. I think Floyd really believes he can win in any situation. One of my fellow boxing writers, Ed Maloney, once relayed a story that Jeff Fenech told him. Fenech believed that if he was in a plane crash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, he would survive the crash and be able to swim to the nearest piece of land. Somehow, when Fenech said it, no one doubted him.

Best Supporting Cast. Roger Mayweather's young son, Lehkei, who also made an appearance in the last 24/7. The kid already has some moves and watching him punch an inflated balloon inside his Dad's apartment made me think of how Juan Manuel Marquez learned how to box by punching pillows held by his Dad.

Best Written Line: "Where they come from shapes why they end up in a ring and how they fight when they get there."

Training Days. JMM running in the dark at 5:22 a.m. seemed to be more of a sacrifice than Floyd running at 1:00 a.m.

We loved Nacho's classic mustang.

We loved the glimpse of Azteca Stadium during a World Cup qualifyer. In 1993, Julio Cesar Chavez knocked out Greg Haugen at Azteca Stadium before 132,247 fans.

Best Spoken Line, Floyd Mayweather Jr., part 2: "I don't watch tapes, I don't study guys." He hasn't had to. Which is also why no one in Mayweather's camp talks strategy or "technical strategy" as Roger calls it. They don't need to. Floyd's that good. "All I need is for my nephew to win," says Roger. Which is interesting, because, really, with Floyd Jr. being so naturally gifted, how good a trainer is Roger Mayweather and, for that matter, Floyd Mayweather Sr.? He got their genes, but what does he get between rounds in a hard fight?
