Floyd Mayweather once took to Instagram and started a “beef” with Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns. After Leonard posted his picture with Hearns, Mayweather declared that Hearns and Leonard were “easy work“. In his reply to Mayweather, Leonard announced that he had already beat Mayweather’s father, who had given him trouble for a while. Along these lines, he mentioned that he would “KO” Mayweather in the ring.

In addition to Leonard’s reply, Hearns claimed he would have shown Mayweather “what easy work is“, only if ‘TBE’ wasn’t “so small“. However, in a fiery reply to Leonard’s comment, Mayweather declared, “You lost your first fight to a lightweight, which was Roberto Duran. TBE has never lost!” After talkSPORT correspondent Michael Benson took to X and reshared Mayweather’s “beef with Sugar Ray Leonard in Sugar Ray’s Instagram comments,” several people reacted to it.
