I woke up  this fine morning with the Floyd Mayweather – Manny Pacquiao boxing match on my brain.  Guess I watched too much of the fight leadup stuff yesterday and my subconscious was on it during my 5 hours.

It is not uncommon for me to wake up with strange thoughts, but in this case I went to bed a little hungry and thinking about losing weight and getting in good summer shape… so somehow my brain combined those two things and all I could think when I woke up was

Floyd Mayweather is FAT!

Now, if you have ever seen Floyd Mayweather, you know he is definitely NOT fat. He has fought in several weight categories and is always a lean, mean, fighting machine.

The odd thought was just WHY Floyd is LIKE “fat.”

• Fat is easy to put on
• Fat is fun to build up in a weird, sadistic kind of way
• You have to put in a lot of work to stay even with fat
• You can’t take it easy on fat and expect to go the distance
• You want to hate fat and you do, but it still keeps showing up and you keep paying money to see it go down
• Fat is REALLY HARD to knock down
• Fat is even harder to knock out
• Fat seems to hit where it shouldn’t – ok, that was a low blow

The long awaited fat knockout, I mean fight, is in mere hours.

The life/fat knockout takes months, if not years of training and even when you win, you can’t stop training because the next challenger is already rising up.

Manny Pacquiao is like lean muscle

• Muscle works hard
• Muscle is smaller than fat
• Muscle is much more fun to show off
• You’re not embarrassed to show off your muscle
• Muscle takes a long time to build up, but once you get some you always want to see more
• Muscle is all about clean living and doing the right things

Now that my brain is all messed up, maybe I’ll go listen to some Justin Bieber who likes fat more than muscle… Just kidding, Justin is good friends with Floyd and is scheduled to be entering the venue with him… which is just one more reason to hope that muscle wins
