Former five-division world champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been a major proponent of working hard. However, WBA (Regular) lightweight champion, Gervonta Davis’ latest Instagram story has desecrated everything that Mayweather stands for.

Davis posted an Instagram story of him and his daughter, Gervanni Davis. There was a quote in the story that said, “Lol, hard work and dedication.”

Mayweather’s favorite phrase is a prominent fixture in his matches and press meets. Moreover, the phrase has been regularly chanted by fans at stadiums, especially in Mayweather’s presence.
