8 years ago, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao went toe-to-toe against each other in the welterweight unification fight. The fight was deemed to biggest fight in boxing history, as the 5-division champion went against an 8-division champion. The latter lost to the former via a unanimous decision, but still, it was quite an enthralling contest to witness back in 2015. Due to its tremendous hype, it was titled ‘Fight of the Century’ and nobody can question its authenticity.
After many years, there are two old videos of them teaching their sons how to box. Later, it was edited together to show the contrast between the two of their teachings. In the video, Mayweather is teaching his son Koraun Mayweather some basic punches. While, Pacquiao held the pads for his son Jimeul Pacquiao, who tried out various combinations. The fans went insane over the resurfaced video.

Floyd Mayweather’s son Koraun Mayweather is focused more on his music, rather than boxing. He even has his own YouTube channel, where he usually posts his latest songs. While Manny Pacquiao’s son has started his career as a boxer, he’s currently an amateur boxer. That’s why there is a difference in both of their skills. Notably, the same video went viral before upon its release as well. Still, after a long time, the fans pointed this difference out.
