“Looked Like a Low Blow to Me”: Floyd Mayweather Getting Knocked Down in Unearthed Clip Still Draws Wild Reactions from Fans

Floyd Mayweather maintained an unparalleled defense throughout his boxing career. As a result, “sharp” TBE hardly took punishment. According to Mayweather himself, what made him different from everyone else was his aim to avoid punishment. As Mayweather once said, “One thing about Floyd Mayweather is that I’m not going out there to take no punishment“. It is this mindset that led Mayweather to develop and maintain an almost impregnable defense in the ring.

Likewise, it is hard to call to mind the time Mayweather hit the canvas or found himself in hot water during his fights. Similarly, it is safe to say that Floyd Mayweather is one of the rare boxers in the sport who avoided major injuries despite fighting the best fighters of his time. Like Mayweather once said, “It’s not cool taking punishment. What’s cool is to be able to come to the sport, change the sport, and help the sport become a better sport for the young fighters up-and-coming“.

However, like a bolt from the blue, talkSPORT correspondent Michael Benson took to Twitter and unearthed an old clip of Mayweather getting knocked down at a basketball game. Following Benson’s tweet, several fans reacted to it. Here is what they are saying.

In 2019, Mayweather participated in the “Monster Energy $50K Charity Challenge Celebrity Basketball Competition” in California. In the game, Mayweather went up against Larry Williams aka Bone Collector. Having toyed with Mayweather for a little amount of time, Bone Collector broke the former’s ankles and scored.

Meanwhile, one said, “Money can’t buy you new ankles“.

However, one claimed Bone Collector hit Mayweather with “a low blow“.

On the other hand, one declared Mayweather could not be “good at everything”.
