Floyd Mayweather has achieved unparalleled success in his boxing career. Besides being undefeated, Mayweather has held numerous titles in different weight divisions during the span of his career. For the same reason, he is called the best. But his actions inside the ring are not the limit of his achievements. His charisma and attitude towards the sport have motivated countless boxing prospects to pursue their dream. And Mayweather Promotions, Floyd’s promotional company, has played a major role in doing the same. One of those promising prospects is Curmel Moton. Recently, Box 4 Money uploaded a clip of Moton, where Mayweather reacted to his moves during sparring. Unsurprisingly, fans went into a frenzy, praising the boxer for his moves.

Curmel Moton is an amateur boxer with a 133-2 record. According to an article from Marca, Mayweather himself has called the young boxer ‘the next Floyd Mayweather.’ What’s more, ‘Big Deal,’ as he is known, is part of ‘Mayweather Promotions’ with Floyd himself guiding the youth. With backing from ‘Money’ himself, fans are giddy to witness what’s in store for the young boxer. And the excitement is perfectly portrayed in the way fans reacted to the clip uploaded on YouTube.

A wholesome reception from Floyd Mayweather fans

In the video in question, Moton is sparring with his partner while Mayweather gave some advice to the young boxer. As Moton followed, Mayweather cheered for the boxer with excitement. After the clip went viral on YouTube, people came in droves to watch the clip and showered praises on the youth.

A user commented, “That’s a Mayweather classic punch.” Mayweather is known for his leaping left hook, and he has used it in the ring countless times in the past. So, seeing the same move executed by the boxer gave the user some flashbacks to the ‘Pretty Boy’ era.

Sometimes that’s all they need to hear! Gotta love Floyd man….” The comment from this user just goes to show how fans perceive Floyd’s character.
