Floyd Mayweather’s Surprise Appearance at Rising Fighter’s Press Conference Proclaims Boxing Supremacy After Canelo Alvarez’s Victory
Following Canelo Alvarez’s dominant win over Jermell Charlo to defend his undisputed super-middleweight world titles, the boxing world witnessed an unexpected guest appearance by Floyd Mayweather at a press conference for a rising young fighter.
Seventeen-year-old Curmel Moton, widely regarded as one of America’s most promising boxing talents, made his professional debut with an impressive first-round knockout of Ezequiel Flores during an undercard match in Las Vegas. The media gathered to hear from Moton about his victory, alongside his promoter, Floyd Mayweather.
However, Mayweather’s appearance at the press conference led to an impassioned declaration from the former pound-for-pound boxing champion, asserting himself as the “greatest of all time.”
During the press conference, a reporter referred to Mayweather as “arguably one of the greatest of all time.” Mayweather, 46 years old, seized the moment to clarify his stance, saying, “What are we rating ourselves on? In the least amount of fights, you know, I didn’t have to have 70 fights, or 150 fights, 300 fights.”
The five-weight world champion continued, “Did I or did I not beat the most world champions in the least amount of fights? Who had the highest gate? Who earned the most money? Who was the most accurate? It’s basically saying that…”
The reporter concurred with Mayweather’s perspective, ultimately revising the question to acknowledge the 50-0 fighter as the ‘greatest of all time.’
Floyd Mayweather wanted to make it crystal clear who the GOAT of boxing is during his new protégé Curmel Moton's post-fight press conference after Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo…
