Boxing was hardly the topic of the day during ABC’s Game 1 broadcast of Warriors-Memphis, but ex-Warriors coach Mark Jackson went out of his way to make a point and didn’t come off so well.
Bringing up Saturday night’s Mayweather-Pacquiao fight on his own, Jackson said, “OK, folks, please stop hating. Floyd Mayweather is one of the greatest boxers ever. I’ve seen the list. Outside of Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, those guys, I’ve seen all the other guys in the category. He’s in the discussion with everybody who’s ever boxed.
