“I think fighters need to focus on being on their pivot for their movement that plays a major major role in the sport of boxing. Fighters are not taught right as far as being on their back pivot. Fighters don’t really use jabs anymore, and fighters don’t really focus on defense. So those three things can make you or break you.”

Mayweather has analyzed the game of boxing so closely that he knows it like the back of his hand. He is well aware of his opponent’s next move and how to counter it. Hence, to give back to boxing, he is imparting his knowledge to the next generation.
