That Floyd Mayweather Jr. dotes on his two-year-old grandson Kentrell Gaulden Jr. does not need validation. One of boxing’s greatest, who ruthlessly eliminated all opponents in the ring, turns to his tender most persona in his grandkid’s presence. The way the two generations of the Mayweather family played around blissfully, hundreds of miles up in the air, drove a multitude of fans to pour their hearts out.

So Floyd Mayweather Jr. shared the post of a clip where he is sitting beside his grandson Kentrell Jr. The former champion wrote on the toddler jumping and having fun, “The only other person that played in the air this long was Michael Jordan.

Watching the happiness on Mayweather Jr.’s face, LaShawn Jones shared her experience. She mentioned that her grandson was born about the same time as Kentrell Jr. Nonetheless, nothing stands above the love and happiness they bring. Jones said, “@floydmayweather, he makes you so happy. I had my first grandchild (a boy) about the same age as yours. Man never knew the love & joy that they bring to our lives…. Love to see [it]!!!❤️❤️❤️

So the undefeated former champion has all the riches in the world. But Dennis “Debonair” Lindsey believes that his grandchild is the source of true joy in his life, “He got all the money in the world, but [I’m] pretty sure his grandson brings him all the happiness money cant buy.” Furthermore, to Nathaniel ‘Slash’ Odi, it’s apparent that Mayweather Jr. has a future world champion to groom. Kentrell Jr. will follow his legendary grandfather, raking in more moolah than ever, “It’s crystal clear [that] Money May All Day has a new world champion to train… Grandson taking Grandpa’s footsteps, more money in the household.”

On the other hand, user Mike highlighted that Floyd Mayweather Jr. might have accomplished many fantastic things in his life. However, his role as a grandfather tops them all, “You’ve done countless great things in your life, but this is by far the best! 😇🙏🏽” Finally, the following user requested the legend to leave the sport. Despite him remaining one of boxing’s major draws and the substantial payout, a few would love watching him lose a match.

Hence in his best interest, Mayweather Jr. should move out before it’s too late. Anyhow, he doesn’t have anything more left to prove. “Mr. Mayweather: Please quit boxing. Yes, you are a big ticket, and the purse is great, but folk wanna see you lose. Don’t give them continued hope. F**k ’em. You have nothing to prove.” the user said. 

Undoubtedly, the heart-touching video touched many a chord. Son of rapper NBA YoungBoy, and Iyanna Mayweather, the youngest member of the Mayweather family, is already a celebrity in his own right. In any case, frequent videos of him trying a hand at boxing come up to the delight of fans.
