“I’d Love to See One of the Paul Brothers Knock Him Out”: Forgotten Photos of Floyd Mayweather Training Justin Bieber Draws Scathing Response From Fans

To many, the friendship between the Canadian singer Justin Bieber and one of boxing’s all-time greats, Floyd Mayweather Jr., may remain a fresh memory. The prodigious musician might have even picked up a few rudiments of boxing from the undefeated former champion. They may no longer be on good terms. Nevertheless, an old picture of the two, in boxing gear and accouterments, appeared on Facebook early today. But, the kinds of responses the post received will surprise many people. It indeed has a big shock in store for everyone.

Through its Facebook account, MMA Leader shared photos of Justin Bieber and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Their message read, “Floyd Mayweather after training Justin Bieber.” So the richest boxer in the world, probably after a training session, shared his observations on the singer. The former (according to the post) said, “Floyd Mayweather: “He showed he got heart.” Soon, one after the other, comments started flowing in.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. teaches Justin Bieber boxing – Is this real? Fans ask

The following user mentioned that he would love watching Jake or Logan Paul knock Justin Bieber down: “I’d love to see one of the Paul brothers knock him out.” Then, according to this fan, the Canadian singer will display genuine passion and commitment if he trains with Manny Pacquiao: “Train with Manny; he will show true heart and dedication.” The following fan finds it utterly ridiculous since Mayweather Jr. is teaching a child who might be scared of getting injured: “What a joke! Training a baby… Oh, don’t hurt me.”

The following user took an indirect swipe at Floyd Mayweather Jr., mentioning that Justin Bieber must have achieved full proficiency in running: “Now Justin can use his full potential in running.” Taking a bit of a serious note, this fan posits that while every human has a heart, it’s an altogether different matter whether he has the potential to win: “Heart is available in every human, but can he actually win?”

Echoing a similar line, the following fan believes passion alone remains insufficient. It won’t get him far without any abilities and capability to endure punishments. He said, “[You] can have heart, but if you’ve got no skills, no knockout power, [and] no chin, [you’re] going [to] sleep, my boy.”

Once upon a time…

Clearly, from the tone and vibe, the followers weren’t necessarily pleased with the post. There was a time when Justin Bieber and Floyd Mayweather Jr. used to be great pals. The former was even a part of the latter’s entourage on many occasions, such as during the fights against Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao. The duo, however, went their separate ways after an alleged fallout.
