Floyd Mayweather’s advice for today’s fighters

Floyd Mayweather

FLOYD MAYWEATHER believes fighters need to follow his example, but from his younger days.

Speakingย after a press conference for Adrien Broner-Adrian Granados, a fight which he promotes, he urged boxers to attend to their combination punching. He said, โ€œI think thatโ€™s what fighters lack nowadays. I think what we do is we think about ‘Money’ Mayweather instead of ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd. ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd had a 90% knockout ratio, power puncher, fast hands, power in both hands, combinations, fast legs. Still I was always mental,โ€ he said.

โ€œSo I was able to last so long in the sport because I was so mentally strong. I could never get discouraged from nothing. What I would do was anything that someone would say negative, I would take it and it would make me work that much harder to prove them wrong.

โ€œMy mentality is totally different from any other fighter.โ€
