He's rich (by jailhouse standards) and I'm guessing pretty popular so it is doubtful that that someone is gonna' ass rape him with a sharpened up toothbrush.


Also is there a UFC thread in the queue ? If not I say we dojo storm this one.

Mayweather's also a trained professional in a martial art, which puts him ahead of damn near everyone he's likely to meet in there. Chuck Wepner was never as good a boxer as Mayweather, and pretty farkin' old when he got put away, and still could keep himself left alone.

Yeah, came here to say that. He's one of the best boxers on the planet (some say the best), I doubt he wont be able to defend himself. On top of that, he's high profile, so he might get some protection from the jail/prison.

Administrative segregation. Otherwise, I'd say he's fair game. There are some big dudes in prison, and there's nothing keeping several of them from ganging up on one lonely, rich celebrity.

Wrong. I don't know a single person with more than five minutes of Jiu-Jitsu training that couldn't wreck that clown. That's the problem with boxing. People think that punching people works in a real fight. What a joke. I doubt anyone has ever recorded a knockout in the history of the UFC. And no, spare me your links and photo evidence that suggest elsewise. Links and evidence won't get you out of a guillotine, fatty.

Thirded. That and he might also encounter some fans and Money Team wannabes willing to provide some protection. Some people underestimate the huge gap that exists between trained fighters (even mediocre ones, let alone the best in the planet) and regular "tough guys". That said, Mayweather does have brittle hands and walks around at a mighty 155 pounds.

Big, yes. Technically competent at anything, or having a terribly good chin? Probably not. Worse boxers and even smaller boxers than Mayweather have walked out of jail or prison with no worse hemorrhoids than they went in with. Johnny Tapia, Jesus Chavez, Paul Spadafora, Lavon Kirkland, etc., etc. although these are still guys who won a shiatload more bouts than they lost. Where boxers are most vulnerable is actually on the street, because people who are getting their asses kicked can shoot them. See Forrest, Vernon.

I agree but the idea is better too soon than too late. Mir broke Big Nog's humerus so fast there wasn't any time to stop it.

Man #1: Champ, do you feel remorse for your crime?

Tatum: Oh, yes. Believe me, my god, if I could turn back the clock on my mother's stair-pushing, I would certainly... reconsider it.

Man #2: Drederick, ah, what do you think of Homer Simpson?

Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definately gonna make orphans of his children.

Man #3: Uh, you know, they do have a mother, Champ.

Tatum: Yes, but I would imagine that she would die of grief.

Lucius: Thank you, thank you. But the champ has no time for further queries. This parole hearing is over.

Thanks. It was a really lame headline, I was on my way out the door when I submitted it. I'll try to write the next ones I submit a little better and make it more obvious what they are.
