Floyd Mayweather’s Protege Curmel Moton Comes Clean On “Hardest” Part Of Boxing

Often called the ‘Future of Boxing’, Curmel Moton has been the talk of the town. Recognizing his prowess, the legendary Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather took the 17-year-old under his wing.

Being Mayweather’s protege comes with its own advantages. Almost every fighter in the lightweight division has an eye out for Moton. His skills are unmatched, with an amateur record of 156-7, he is one of the best-to-go professionals with two fights to his name, both of which ended in knockouts by the newcomer. But it is not all fun and games as Moton talks about the hardships of being a boxer.

What’s the hardest part of the fame according to Curmel Moton?

Moton responded to a fan asking what the most difficult part was about being a boxer in the industry. Evidently, Moton’s opinion on the fans asking for too much is understood. He said, “I wish boxing fans appreciate hit and not get hit fighters more,” asking fans to appreciate the most fundamental idea of boxing. Boxing revolves around being able to land hits and having a defence strong enough to avoid receiving any which has in today’s world been described as ‘boring’ by some.

Moton further wrote, “Fans just wanna see brawling, fighters like shakur or Devin y’all come them boring when they fights really be like art fr,” appreciating Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney’s boxing styles. Fans make the community what it is, but it becomes a problem when it gets a little out of hand. As Moton gets more and more representation on social media, he gets more PPVs for his next fight. But do we know who he is fighting next?
