Skip Bayless compares Mayweather to Chiefs

by zbschiefs on Sep 21, 2009 12:39 PM CDT

On ESPN First Take this afternoon Skip Bayless was arguing that Floyd Mayweather is an overrated boxer, saying "Mayweather has no knockout punch. I see less offense than the Kansas City Chiefs have right now, seriously."

Of course, jabs like this one are to be expected when we can't win any football games. I am one, however, that thinks Todd Haley's Chiefs, in time, will be a successful regime. It is tempting to make comparisons between he and Herm Edwards since we have started the season 0-2. I think what Haley offers over Edwards did is an ability to evaluate what is not working, admit it when it is a coaching issue, and address the problem.

The Chiefs will probably win some upsets against higher ranked teams this year because of coaching, athleticism, and preparation. Hopefully this can begin against the NFC East. It must be very important for them as a team to taste victory, and they could build on that once it happens.

Of course, nothing will happen over night and we will lose games that we should have won like we did yesterday.

P.S. - My voice is still a bit hoarse from yelling during the game yesterday.

I was at the Mayweather fight this past weekend and you know what? He’s sorta right. Mayweather is a fighter with incredible skill and potential. Because he’s been sitting out for two years, he lacked the polish of a pound-for-pound king and it’s no secret he lacks killer power.

The fight was executed with (far too much) respect for his opponent who he kept at arms length so he wouldn’t get socked too hard in the mouth. Much like the Chiefs did with the Raiders. We showed them far too much respect and tried to hold them at arms length in much the same way that Mayweather did. We should come out brawling, but we just don’t have that killer instinct yet.

The only real difference is that Mayweather possesses enough experience (where the Chiefs are lacking) to pull out the win. :-\

Funny comparison.
