Over the years, Floyd Mayweather has fascinated his fans with his accuracy and fluidity. In addition to the fight IQ that he would display inside the ring, it was always a pleasure seeing him prepare for his upcoming fights inside the gym. Apart from his work with the heavy bag, Mayweather and his late uncle Roger Mayweather would effortlessly dazzle the audience with their seamless pad work.

But today, besides being 45, it has been six years since Mayweather stopped competing on the professional level. However, the former unified welterweight champion still continues to charm his fans with his fluid movements and envious skills with the mitts. Likewise, after an old video of Mayweather training with his current coach Gerald Tucker recently went viral on the net, fans could not but marvel at Floyd’s movement and skills.

After a boxing-related account posted the brief clip on X, here’s how several people reacted to it:
