Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were the faces of boxing for over a decade. The two dominated the sport throughout the 2000s and 2010s, leaving their mark as two of the best boxers of their generation. Pacquiao retired from the sport back in 2021 to pursue a career in politics while Mayweather retired in 2017 but still competes in exhibition bouts.

However, even though the two legends have retired from the sport, it looks like they are ready to train the next generation. A video recently resurfaced, shared by Michael Benson, where Mayweather and Pacquiao can be seen teaching their sons how to box.

In the video, Mayweather teaches his son Koraun Mayweather the basics, while Pacquiao worked with his son Jimuel Pacquiao on the pads. This was not all as fans went into a frenzy after seeing the legends training their children.
