Sort of.</p><p>Living in the headquarters of late-stage capitalism is nearly synonymous with <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gifts-kids-holidays-valentines-day-easter-2024-2">having more possessions</a> than we need or can easily manage, and our kids are prime examples.</p><p>Now that we are in a new school year, some semblance of organization will help you maintain your cool. Here are a few tips for <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/professional-declutterer-shares-why-people-hold-on-to-things-2023-3">keeping your kids' stuff from taking over</a>.</p><h2 id="ab7a40af-ca55-4a25-b645-54e503e87a83">Store things vertically</h2><p>The first best way to get clutter out of the way is to go vertical. This is particularly good for vast collections of lightweight toys. Try hanging a net from the ceiling or high on a wall to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/teddy-bears-through-the-years-2018-9">corral all the stuffies</a>. They're easy to put away and can stand guard to keep monsters at bay.</p><p>Shelving or tall drawer units can also keep precious treasures off the floor; just make sure to anchor them to the wall so they don't topple over. Provide a stool if necessary so your child can reach their things without your help.</p><p>Because surfaces are magnets for clutter, think about having fewer tables, dressers, and desktops available. Instead, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bookshelf-wealth-tiktok-interior-design-trend-cozy-lived-in-2024-1">provide bookshelves</a> and furniture with drawers.</p><h2 id="259ada73-9f4c-40d7-b8ab-a054bd607d0b">Choose the right containers</h2><p>If you've ever visited a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/montessori-school-cost-mortgage-payment-2024-2">Montessori classroom</a>, you'll know that every item in the room has a designated home, one designed specifically for it. To recreate that in your house, choose a container for every type of possession and avoid the dreaded black hole of a traditional toy box.</p><p><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-of-organized-playrooms-cleaning-2020-4">Kids are very good at organizing</a> if given the proper tools. They might even think it's fun; they haven't yet learned to consider it a painful chore. Containers for toys should follow these conventions:</p><ol><li>They're easy to open and close.</li><li>They're easy to access and put away.</li><li>The contents are simple to identify.</li></ol><p>If your kid can read, get out the label-maker. If not, get creative. Draw a picture of the item on a piece of masking tape, tape a photo, or glue an actual sample on the front of the container. Make it impossible to misunderstand what goes where.</p><ol start="4"><li>They should be the right size for the job</li></ol><p>If you have 12 million Lego blocks, choose a box (or boxes) that will hold them all, or they'll end up everywhere. If your collection of doll clothes only fills a quarter of the container they're assigned, soon all kinds of other items will find their way in, and you've got another mess on your hands.</p><p>When my kids were little, a very smart person told me that they had no idea what I meant when I told them to clean their rooms. It's just too broad a concept. Instead, ask the kids to put all their books back on the shelves, or to put their dinosaur collection in the box marked with a Triceratops. Specificity is the key to success here.</p><h2 id="1db9175c-037a-4a0b-9b78-851c0c46be1c">Always declutter</h2><p>If you don't have enough space or containers for all the things your kids own, it's time to downsize. And it's never too early to teach kids how to let go of their unused stuff. Even asking them to find one thing they no longer want is good practice; it introduces the concept. And it's one that we, as a society, don't generally emphasize.</p><p>As always, model the behavior you want to see. Putting your own stuff away when you're done with it will help reinforce the message that life is nicer when you're not tripping over your possessions.</p>

I'm a mom and professional declutterer. Kids don't understand the concept of 'cleaning up' so here are 3 ways to help them do it.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>I stayed at a ryokan, a Japanese inn with a tatam-mat floor, futon mattress, and bath.</li><li>Although sleeping on the floor hurt my back, the room was very peaceful and I loved the breakfast.</li></ul><p>While on my honeymoon, I traveled to Japan and took the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/riding-japans-bullet-trains-between-tokyo-kyoto-2023-7"><u>bullet train</u></a> from Tokyo to Kyoto.</p><p>As Japan's former capital city, the historical area is known for its Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. While there, my husband and I stayed at a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn.</p><p>Ryokan are possibly one of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.japan.travel/en/guide/japanese-ryokan/">oldest forms of hotels</a>, dating back centuries. They can be found throughout Japan.</p><p>Although the types of ryokan can vary, most include a tatami-mat floor, futon mattresses without a bedframe, communal or private baths, and multi-course Japanese meals.</p><h2><strong>Our ryokan was modern with a nod to tradition</strong></h2><div type="image" title="Image from the street of an off-white and brown building. There are rows of windows with small balconies, a tall fence on the ground level with an opening by the entrance, and planters in front of the fence with green bushes in them. Behind the fence is a wall with a wooden sign that has the hotel name written on it." height="743" width="990" msid="105193238" hostid="261" sizebytes="100310"></div><p>The ryokan my husband and I stayed at was called <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kyoto-ryokan-sakura.com/urushi/"><u>Sakura Urushitei</u></a> and was located in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto.</p><p>The building itself looked modern but had curved Eastern-style eaves on the first two floors and a small Japanese-style garden to the left of the entrance.</p><p>The lobby was modern, but everything was made of wood and featured display cases with lacquerware, as well as Japanese ceramics and art.</p><div type="image" title="A collage featuring two images. On the left is a painting with a gold background featuring an image of bamboo stalks and white cranes. On the right are a series of orange wooden gates over a stone walkway leading to an entrance to a building." height="1080" width="1440" msid="105193239" hostid="261" sizebytes="98352"></div><p>Our room, which was in an adjoining building, was "Sukiya-style" — a type of architecture that uses rustic materials and mimics natural surroundings.</p><p>On our way, we walked past a wall of beautiful Japanese art, then several orange torii gates.</p><h2>Our room was minimalist and made with natural materials</h2><div type="image" title="A photo of two wooden chairs without legs resting on the tatami mat floor around a small wooden table. Opposite, in the right corner of the room is a small alcove with a shelf that has a wooden box and below that two sliding cupboard doors. The walls are white with a thin carved wooden tree running from ceiling to floor. The ceiling is made with bamboo beams." height="750" width="1000" msid="105193241" hostid="261" sizebytes="33522"></div><p>As is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/surprising-things-about-moving-to-japan-with-family-from-us-american">common in Japan</a>, we took our shoes off when entering our room, left them by the entrance, and put on the slippers that were left for us to wear. </p><p>The space was fairly small with a short table and chairs without any legs. The overhead light was covered with a shade that looked like it was made out of paper and there was also a small lamp on the floor.</p><p>The room itself was made out of natural materials and felt very minimalist but serene and comfortable.</p><p>Our room also didn't have a TV, which felt a bit like an escape from constantly being surrounded by screens.</p><h2>Sleeping on the floor was a little uncomfortable but surprisingly cozy</h2><div type="image" title="Photo of India Kushner sitting at a small wooden table wearing red earrings in the shape of a flower and a blue cotton robe with a floral abstract print. India has dark brown hair pulled into a ponytail and dark brown eyes. Behind her is a small lamp on the floor." height="750" width="1000" msid="105193242" hostid="261" sizebytes="68222"></div><p>On the left side, we found a small closet containing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/dollar-hotel-japan-livestreams-guests-stay-2019-11">our bedding</a> and two Yukata robes made from cotton. There was also a special corner of the room to place our luggage so it didn't damage the tatami mat.</p><p>When it was time for us to go to sleep, we unrolled our<a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/guides/home/best-futon"> futon mattress</a>, covered it with a sheet, and put the duvet on top.</p><p>Since the room was so small, we had to move the table and chairs out of the way, but they were so lightweight, it wasn't much of an issue.</p><div type="image" title="A Japanese-style futon bed on a tatami mat floor next to a small floor-level window. The bed has a colorful duvet cover on top." height="1080" width="1440" msid="105193243" hostid="261" sizebytes="70476"></div><p>Although the mattress was a little thin, it was surprisingly cozy and comfortable.</p><p>However, because I have lower back issues (a perk of being in my mid-30s), I don't think I could sleep like this every night. </p><p>This sleep style is somewhat common in some parts of Japan, and I wonder if my body would've adjusted if I'd slept like this for a longer period of time. </p><p>After all, some research suggests there are numerous <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-hygiene/sleeping-on-the-floor">benefits to sleeping on the floor</a>. </p><p>For example, some soft mattresses can allow your spine to curve and cause <a target="_blank" href="https://www.healthline.com/health/sleeping-on-the-floor#benefits-of-sleeping-on-the-floor">back pain</a>. A firmer mattress — or a thin one on the floor — may help keep your spine neutral.</p><p>Plus, using a futon mattress that you can roll up and store during the day is a great way to save space.</p><h2><strong>Our private bath was inviting and hot — but maybe a little too hot</strong></h2><div type="image" title="A room with black stone tiles on the floor and walls. On the left side of the room is a deep bathtub with turquoise tiles and a wooden edge. There is water coming from the tap. To the right is a small wooden stool with a wooden bucket on top, a metal shower tap, and three bottles. There is a window to the left of the bathtub. Outside is a small stone lamp with light coming out." height="750" width="1000" msid="105193244" hostid="261" sizebytes="99870"></div><p>Many ryokans feature a private <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cruise-attendant-job-bathing-nude-japan-onsen-2018-9">onsen</a>, also called a hot spring or bath, that guests can reserve for multiple people at once.</p><p>The one at our ryokan wasn't a hot spring, just a regular bath, and could be rented for 40 minutes for the equivalent of $4.</p><p>Since my husband and I saw another couple wearing their robes right before entering the bath, we did the same, although it felt a little strange walking around the lobby in them.</p><p>Guests are encouraged to rinse off before a bath, so the room includes a shower, a short stool to sit on, and a wooden bucket to pour water over your body.</p><p>The bath itself was scalding hot. Despite <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/treatments/cold-shower-vs-hot-shower">loving hot showers</a>, I couldn't manage more than a few minutes with just my feet in the water.</p><p>I'm unsure if we were supposed to, but my husband and I used the bucket to add cold water from the shower.</p><p>Once the water was at a more manageable temperature, we were able to submerge ourselves and found it very relaxing. It still was quite hot, and I actually had to take a break and get out a few times.</p><p>After the bath, I was extremely sleepy and ready for bed.</p><h2>As with many places in Japan, we had to pay extra for breakfast</h2><div type="image" title="A picture of a tray with various bowls containing a piece of salmon, a Japanese omelet, shredded daikon radish, miso soup,  greens, seaweed, broccoli with sesame seeds, carrots and tofu and rice. At the bottom is a set of chopsticks on a wooden chopstick rest." height="618" width="824" msid="105193245" hostid="261" sizebytes="96390"></div><p>At our ryokan, we were given the option of Japanese breakfast, American breakfast, continental, or fruit and granola.</p><p>My husband and I chose the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/what-breakfast-looks-like-around-the-world-2019-3">Japanese breakfast</a> for our entire stay.</p><p>The main dish had a piece of grilled salmon, grated daikon radish with a sauce on top, and a small Japanese omelet.</p><p>We got <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/5-breakfast-foods-from-the-areas-people-live-the-longest-2022-11">miso soup</a> and many small bowls featuring local greens, seaweed, steamed broccoli with sesame seeds, carrots and tofu in a light sauce, and rice. </p><p>Breakfast was delicious. Despite how much food we were given, it was very light.</p><h2><strong>The back pain was worth the unique cultural experience</strong></h2><p>My stay at the ryokan was very different from a traditional hotel.</p><p>Although we could've opted for a typical Western room, I was excited at the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture.</p><p>The ryokan also offered <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/diy-old-home-renovation-abandoned-japanese-guesthouse-before-after-photos-2023-3#interested-guests-can-also-attend-a-bamboo-weaving-workshop-that-kajiyama-hosts-next-door-12">cultural workshops</a>, like a tea ceremony and sake tasting, but we didn't get to try any.</p><p>Still, despite the slight back pains, I'm also glad we were able to try the Japanese-style beds.</p><p>If I lived in a big city like<a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/dos-and-donts-traveling-in-tokyo-japan-american-expat-2023-7"> Tokyo</a>, I could see how coming to a place like this would feel rejuvenating and relaxing.</p>

I stayed at a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn. I didn't have a bed frame, but I still preferred it to a Western-style hotel.

"He's been fighting on Golden Boy cards the whole time, on DAZN. He's a good fighter, and reminds me a lot of <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/vergil-ortiz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vergil Ortiz Jr</a>," one of boxing's power punchers.</p><p>Saucedo points at Alejandro Reyes, who bares his fists by the edge of the ring. Reyes has a pro boxing record of six wins (four knockouts) and remains unbeaten. He fights his seventh bout Saturday at the Galen Center in the city.</p><p>"I don't like to compare them too much, but every punch Alejandro throws he throws with bad intentions."</p><h2>This young knockout puncher likes to model part of his game on Canelo's</h2><div type="image" title="Alejandro Reyes may fight similar to Vergil Ortiz Jr. but he models his game on Canelo." height="1333" width="2000" msid="90312759" hostid="261"></div><p>Ortiz was forced to withdraw from headlining Saturday's event, broadcast on DAZN from 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET because <a href="https://www.insider.com/vergil-ortiz-posts-a-statement-after-staying-overnight-in-hospital-2022-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he spent Monday night in hospital with rhabdomyolysis</a>.</p><p>Reyes, being an apparent Ortiz clone, could provide a highlight-reel knockout in the contender's absence.</p><p>But though he's compared by Saucedo to the puncher, Reyes himself models his game on the professionalism and dedication of 'Canelo' Alvarez.</p><p>"I like how Canelo boxes," Reyes told Insider on Thursday at Golden Boy headquarters in downtown Los Angeles. "He boxes beautifully. He can slip, fight on the inside, and go at it, too. I like his style, his craft is perfect."</p><p>Reyes grew up watching fighters his father recommended, before becoming beguiled by modern-day Mexican greats like Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales.</p><p>Canelo is today's Mexican great. But it's not just because of what he's accomplishing in the ring, seemingly set on clearing out four of boxing's weight classes, it's that he's inspiring the new generation.</p><p>"His technique sets him apart," Reyes told us. "That's it. He can change, box you, catch, slip, and roll the punches. He can do it all. I'm impressed with his technique, as his craft is basically almost perfect."</p><p>Technical skill is something that can be fine-tuned through hours spent in the gym, which is what Reyes wants to do himself.</p><p>"Everything is in the gym," he said. "Whatever you do in the gym is going to show in the ring. And he does a great job in the gym."</p><p>So, what is Reyes learning from Saucedo at the Westside gym? Well, it's not just about the best, most effective ways of separating an opponent from their senses.</p><p>It's about the transitions from amateur boxing to professional and protecting yourself at all times.</p><p>"He's been introducing me to what the whole professional ball game is, the adjustments you have to make from an amateur to a professional. He's been showing me the tricks, the ropes, and it's been going good."</p><p>The No.1 trick: "Keep your hands up at all times," Reyes said, as Saucedo nodded in approval. "Always," he adds.</p><p>As for what Reyes wants to get out of his year in boxing in 2022, and ahead in 2023, it's not about making random call-outs to those in the super lightweight division.</p><p>It's about doing what Canelo would be doing — striving for self-improvement.</p><p>"The main thing to always keep improving and learning," he said. "We've been talking about Canelo — and what would he do? He'd keep learning his craft in the gym, and getting better. So that's what we gotta do to get better every day."</p><p>Reyes fights Saturday against Daniel Evangelista Jr. during the Golden Boy Promotions show at the Galen Center in Los Angeles in an event broadcast on DAZN.</p>

He'll find a weakness," Espinoza said. "If your weakness is conditioning, he'll find that out. If it's defense, he'll find that out.</p><p>"When you're going through that all-out pressure assault from Brandon Figueroa, if there are flaws, there'll be apparent. Figueroa is a one-man stress test.

There are fighters who have packed it up, stayed on the stool, and never been the same since. And there's fighters like Xavier who really got to prove their mettle."</p><p>Martinez fights Juan Carlos Burgos in his 17th match, and should the super featherweight maintain his unbeaten start to his pro career, then he'll only enhance his reputation as one to watch in the 130-pound division.</p><h2>Making top fights will cure many of boxing's ills, according to Espinoza</h2><div type="image" title="Stephen Espinoza, Floyd Mayweather, and Leonard Ellerbe" height="661" width="882" msid="82645947" hostid="261"></div><p>In the decade that Espinoza has led Showtime Sports, having joined the broadcaster after providing counsel to Oscar de la Hoya's promotional vehicle Golden Boy Promotions, he has enjoyed many successes.</p><p>The 51-year-old struck a landmark six-fight, multi-year deal with <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/floyd-mayweather" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Floyd Mayweather</a> in 2012, oversaw the three highest-grossing events in TV history at that time with Mayweather's fights against <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/saul-alvarez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saul Alvarez</a>, Manny Pacquiao, and <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/conor-mcgregor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor</a>, and continues to push boxing as a focus at Showtime today.</p><p>Boxing, like many other sports, suffered during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Viewership figures retreated, and though Showtime did not restart its own schedule until August 1, Espinoza conceded that the metrics he saw internally were "a mixed bag."</p><p>The broadcaster collaborated with PBC, just like it has for its upcoming schedule, and had stand-out events like the twin Charlo bill in September - which Insider dubbed at the time as <a href="https://www.insider.com/when-is-charlo-doubleheader-how-to-watch-showtime-boxing-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the greatest boxing event of the pandemic</a> up until that point - and the October bout between <a href="https://www.insider.com/watch-gervonta-davis-score-starbuilding-ko-over-leo-santa-cruz-2020-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gervonta Davis and Leo Santa Cruz which resulted in a thunderous uppercut KO</a> for "Tank."</p><p>Espinoza said: "We were all very happy to get together and figure out a way to come back and, ultimately, a way to come back relatively safely with pretty heavy-duty protocols."</p><p>Those protocols, Espinoza claimed, ensured that positive COVID-19 tests yielded single-figure outcomes over an eight-month duration.</p><p>"We don't speak of this very openly but that's how we measure success - being able to carry on the sport, and having a minimum of positives among the athletes, production personnel, our own staff, and everybody involved," he said.</p><p>"That comes at a cost, and the cost is paid by all those people through testing, quarantining, and not leaving your room - even to get food in many cases. It takes a toll.</p><p>"I'd like to highlight the people you don't see - production personnel, staff who typically show up Tuesday, and spend every waking moment, and sleeping moment, in their hotel room when they're not working. It's a lot to ask of a crew, staff, but I think we're all glad we could get back to some sense of normalcy and had a level of quality that we were happy with."</p><p>He continued: "There were others in the sport that rushed back relatively quickly, had the stage to themselves, and really did the sport a disservice with the kinds of fights that were being put on. And we didn't want to do that. We didn't want to come back just for the sake of coming back. We wanted to come back with a strong, real schedule."</p><p>Espinoza said the media and sports industry as a whole, not just boxing, is still figuring out modern-day viewing habits, and studying the changing behaviors regarding how people view TV, when people view TV, and the number of households using TV and streaming.</p><p>He added that they're also looking into "people's interest [because] there have been huge viewership drops in a variety of sports."</p><p>For Espinoza, and those at Showtime, the best way to maintain their current customer base, while attracting new eyeballs, is to make the best fights possible on their network.</p><p><strong>Here are the headlining matches for Showtime's upcoming fight nights:</strong></p><ul><li>May 15: Brandon Figueroa vs. Luis Nery - WBO/WBC super bantamweight unification</li><li>May 29: Nonito Donaire vs. Nordine Oubaali - WBC bantamweight title</li><li>June 6: Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul - boxing exhibition</li><li>June 19: Jermall Charlo vs. Juan Macias Montiel - WBC middleweight title</li><li>June 26: Mario Barrios vs. Gervonta Davis - WBA super lightweight title</li><li>June 3: Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Chris Colbert - WBA interim super featherweight title</li><li>July 17: Jermell Charlo vs. Brian Carlos Castano - WBO super welterweight title</li><li>August 14: Guillermo Rigondeaux vs. John Riel Casimero - WBA/WBO bantamweight unification</li><li>August 28: Jose Uzcategui vs. David Benavidez - super middleweight</li></ul><p>Espinoza said he's looked into why viewership dropped across sports, but added: "What we wanted to do with this schedule is to put our best foot forward, and get back into the rhythm of doing excellent fights which speak for themselves.</p><p>"Whether they're in a bubble or in front of fans, our theory is that the best way to regain the momentum and the spotlight for the sport is to do really good fights - it's that simple.</p><p>"That's the solution that will cure maybe not all of boxing's ills, but a great many of them by just doing the match-ups that should happen, and enforcing a level of quality that can be maintained consistently across the schedule."</p>

These "mini fights," as Martinez calls them, are for those who are accustomed to staring at intimidation with nothing but a smile, a flex of the biceps, and a hook to the jaw.</p><p>Crowds form around the ring of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Vegas, shut off from the public so the pros can go to work.</p><p>It is loud. The bell is sometimes removed as fighters compete for lengthier rounds than they'd be accustomed to in a legitimate fight. Mayweather has a special corner spot to watch the session.</p><p>All young talent fighting under the Mayweather banner eventually has to go through the doghouse. And, before long, they'll have to go through that doghouse against "Tank" Davis - a pitbull of a puncher, a two-weight champ, and one of the faces of the fight game.</p><p>If you think Mayweather might offer you words of encouragement in the seconds before you go to-to-toe with "Tank," you'd be dead wrong.</p><p>"When I was sparring 'Tank,' Floyd was talking s--- to me," Martinez laughed. "But it was a lot of fun and a great experience."</p><p>Espinoza told us that Mayweather Promotions "does not baby its fighters."</p><p>"They throw them in tough fights early on to see what they have, and it's the same mentality they have in the Mayweather gym - the doghouse.</p><p>"There's fierce competition there every day, and that applies in the ring. Fighters are brought along, but when the training wheels come off, you've got to fight - and take tough fights."</p><h2>Martinez is back on Showtime fighting a 'buckethead' called Burgos</h2><div type="image" title="Xavier Martinez boxing 2" height="665" width="1000" msid="82617999" hostid="261"></div><p>On Saturday May 15 at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, Martinez finds himself back in the ring with a veteran - Juan Carlos Burgos, who has 34 wins, four losses, and two draws in a 40-bout record to date. He has never been knocked out.</p><p>"One thing I know about Burgos is that he has a buckethead - he ain't never been knocked out," Martinez said. "That's what my ex-coach used to call 'em, who had never been knocked out. Bucketheads.</p><p>"He's a veteran, doing this a while, knows a lot. But I just fought a veteran in my last fight, I learned a lot, so will bring those learnings into this one."</p><p>Martinez continued: "Obviously, I'm getting a win, there's no doubt about it. But I don't know if I want to go in and show something different - that I can actually box and move - or if I just want to try and apply the pressure, running the combinations like I'm supposed to, and go for the kill. It'll probably happen."</p><p>The way Martinez tells it, his whole life in boxing has been a lesson. He learns from many of the top coaches in the States at the Mayweather gym, can rely on Floyd for advice in and out of the ring, and studies Roberto Duran, Diego Corrales, and Mayweather himself to form a style that he thinks suits him best.</p><p>"Floyd for his hard work and dedication to the sport, Diego Corrales for his heart, and Duran because he was also so mean and hungry. I loved his style. Roll those styles into one, with Floyd's defense, because you just can't touch that man with a handful of rice."</p><p>Beyond Burgos, Martinez is targeting another Showtime fight with the American skillster Chris Colbert. It would involve a wild promotion as both guys have already enjoyed a hostile back-and-forth.</p><p>"The only rival I can I say I have is Chris Colbert," he said. "We've had our exchange of words. He's had a lot to say to me, I've said things back. But as young, hungry, upcoming lions, we've got to fight. And I can't wait to make that fight happen."</p><p>With "Tank" moving to the super lightweight division to fight Mario Barrios in June, the super featherweight division is in a state of flux, according to Martinez. "Nobody has put a real stamp on it," he said.</p><p>"But real soon, things are going to change. There's names coming up, and I'm one of them. So you gotta tune in May 15 and see me get a step closer to getting a world title shot, and becoming a champion."</p>

A comeback, the American knows, means a money fight, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-50-best-selling-pay-per-view-events-boxing-ufc-wrestling-tv-history-2017-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">something Mayweather knows plenty about.</a></p><p>The 41-year-old retired for the first time in 2007 after he flattened British fighter Ricky Hatton with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJrCY2qwhgI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a highlight-reel check hook in the 10th round</a>.</p><p>But he only stayed retired for two years as he returned to boxing for a ruck against the expert counterpuncher Juan Manuel Marquez, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoJCxgfInUo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whom he dominated with an impressive ease</a>&#xa0;in 2009. Marquez was a lighter opponent but Mayweather looked as good as he ever had, before romping to a succession of clear-cut wins over some of the sport's biggest names like Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, and Manny Pacquiao.</p><p>In a wildly successful comeback, he won five world championship titles in two weight classes and <a href="https://thesportsdaily.com/2017/08/26/floyd-mayweather-career-earnings-fox11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earned over $600 million in just ten fights</a>&#xa0;- more than he had in his previous 39 bouts. It was like he had never been away.</p><p>But then he went away again. He retired after he outclassed an inferior opponent in Andre Berto, <a href="https://thesportsdaily.com/2017/08/26/floyd-mayweather-career-earnings-fox11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a bout that earned him $32 million</a>, and this time it appeared he would retire for good. Before the start of the 12th round, supposedly the final time Mayweather would ever sit on a stool during professional combat, he gave <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdGdlCnr1xI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a passionate, teary-eyed speech to his father and head coach, Floyd Mayweather Sr.</a>, before fighting the final round of his life - his swansong.</p><p>That was it. Mayweather called the curtain on an illustrious career at 49-0, at 38 years old, in 2015.</p><h2>Mayweather is past his prime</h2><p>Only, that wasn't it. There was one more fight to come, as an opportunity presented itself that would guarantee Mayweather would dwarf his previous fight salary. That opportunity was Conor McGregor, the mixed martial artist with a gift of the gab, verbal jabs, and a lethal left cross that had concussed many an opponent in the UFC.</p><p>Mayweather retired for the third time in 2017, after he labored to a 10th round stoppage victory over McGregor. It was a big-money win, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2018/06/05/how-floyd-mayweather-earned-275-million-for-one-night-of-work/#3e460106e4d3">a jackpot that scooped him $275 million</a>, but Mayweather looked poor. McGregor, a boxing novice who had never once fought a professional four-round fight let alone a championship 12-rounder, hung in there until the 10th, and <a href="https://www.boxingscene.com/mayweather-mcgregor-compubox-punch-stats--119895" target="_blank" rel="noopener">landed 111 punches</a> in the process, <a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/08/conor-mcgregor-floyd-mayweather-compubox-stats-manny-pacquiao-canelo-alvarez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than any other opponent had landed on Mayweather before</a>.</p><p>Yes, Mayweather eventually got the job done, but he did so while looking old and past his prime against a novice. It became clear that it's unlikely he'd be able to compete against active and elite boxers like Errol Spence Jr., Terence Crawford, or "Canelo" Alvarez.</p><p>Mayweather, unsurprisingly, hung up his gloves at 50-0 and became <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2017/08/26/how-floyd-mayweather-became-boxings-1-billion-man/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing's first billion dollar fighter</a>. Unbeaten throughout his entire professional career, he left with barely a scratch on his face, having earned more money than any other boxer. He revolutionised the pay-per-view landscape and flew into the sunset, on his terms, as a filthy-rich winner. Boxing? Mayweather completed it.</p><p>He now has the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, a strip club called Girl Collection, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/floyd-mayweather-car-koenigsegg-ccxr-trevita-bugatti-2017-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a garage filled with rare million dollar cars</a>, a "Billionaire" <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/floyd-mayweather-buys-18-million-diamond-watch-2018-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">watch worth $18 million</a>, luxurious <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/floyd-mayweather-mansion-pictures-inside-his-los-angeles-house-2018-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mansions</a>, and two private jets.

Ali should have stayed retired, but an $8 million offer lured him into a fight against jab maestro Larry Holmes two years later. Ali, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2012/12/21/us/muhammad-ali---fast-facts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showing signs of trembling hands and stuttering speech</a>, was obliterated in 10 rounds by Holmes. That should have been enough, but Ali still refused to accept the call of retirement and fought Trevor Berbick in 1981, losing by unanimous decision.</p><p>And Ali is not alone.</p><p>Former "Baddest Man on the Planet" Mike Tyson didn't know when to call it quits as he was embarrassed in three of his last four fights. His 2004 and 2005 losses to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride would likely have been reversed had he fought them earlier in his career, but Tyson took the fights, lost badly, and ended his career on a low.</p><p>Even Roy Jones Jr., the fabulously-athletic sharpshooter, should have retired for good when he won a heavyweight world title having begun his career as a junior middleweight. But after his landmark 2003 decision win over John Ruiz, he lost eight times in 15 years and his record, and legacy, has suffered as a result.</p><p>Mayweather could end up as boxing's next cautionary tale. The man has been fighting's biggest box office attraction for over a decade, but his magic act is stale. It is time for him to disappear into retirement forever.</p><p>If he doesn't, he will likely keep returning until one day he loses. Then, his record, that undefeated and unbeatable legacy he has built since 1998, will be lost forever.</p><p>That would be a crying shame - but the one crying would be Mayweather.</p><p class="tagline">This is an opinion column.
