Former five-division world champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr, is widely regarded as one of the most skilled defensive boxers of all time. Moreover, his flawless 50-0-0 fight record and gargantuan net worth are a testament to his impressive pugilistic prowess. A potential fight with Mayweather is often considered a major payday for his opponents. Meanwhile, one person who has been passionately trying to get on the payday train is ‘Pretty Boy’ Anthony Taylor. In a recent addition to his clout-chasing callouts, Taylor took to social media to share a potential fight poster. And, it’s safe to say that the fans were not too impressed with it.
