Floyd Mayweather is the most complete boxer that has ever worn gloves. His art has a charisma that is beyond appreciation. ‘The Pretty Boy’ reigned the ring for two decades and thrashed several Hall of Famers.

His lightning speed and thundering footwork had no match, and this uniqueness established him as the epitome of an ideal pugilist.

However, in an old video that caught the attention of curious boxing fans on the internet, ‘The Best Ever’ opened up on lightweight contender Ryan Garcia.

Taking the note of his protégé, Gervonta Davis, he warned ‘KingRy’ for calling out the latter for the clash.

‘The Pretty Boy’ said that if the social media star boxer actually steps inside the ring against WBA lightweight champ ‘Tank’ Davis, “He’s gonna get f**ked up.”

Further, he added, ” I’m putting the money up right now. If Ryan Garcia can beat Rolly, I give him 200,000 in cash. He gonna fight one of my other fighters, who have less fights than he has. He gonna fight Rolly. Accept the bout with Rolly, I give him 200000 cash if he beat Rolly.”

Notably, Rolando Romero, more famously known as Rolly, is a former WBC interim lightweight titleholder. According to Mayweather, if ‘The Flash’ wants to take a shot against ‘Tank’ he has to outbox Rolly first. As prior to this, ‘KingRy’ doesn’t deserve his protégé as an opponent.

At last questioning Ryan, the undefeated stalwart cautioned him of “f**king’ with ‘The Money Team.”
