I ask Boudreaux years ago. Boudreaux may not remember this about what he thought about Mayfield and some of the things he said. He'd grin and say Mayfield is mayfield. I never did worship Mayfield like he was a God liike some of the dogmen do. Matter of fact I do not believe there are any dogmen without some faults expecially myself. Mayfield was a talented dogman with many faults just like everyone else. Weldon stockton who is a long time trusted friend of mine and also was a good friend of Mayfields. I talk to him on the internet three or four times a week. He read a statement Mayfield wrote that he only fought dogs that belong to himself. Weldon said that is a damn lie. Weldon said Mayfield borrowed several dogs from me and matched them. Of course all dogmen back then knew that. His outstanding ability was in his conditioning only. I see lots of people better than him in other areas. I do not think he was a better conditioner than Floyd. Mayfield was a Bell boy at a Hotel and Floyd told me he put tile in bathrooms and did lots of other professsional stuff. I told him I was a Commercial Plumbing Contractor and he said he also Plumbed. So I put him up quiet a bit above Mayfield in his work and money making abilities. Mayfield as he got older quit the bell boy job and rasied a big commercial vegetable garden and did good at that. He had lots of customers. Like I said he was a good dogman but not a God to be worshipped.
