Personally, and even rightly so, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, attributes all his success to the work he puts in the gym.

The last time Floyd fought was earlier this year against YouTuber turned professional boxer Logan ‘The Maverick’ Paul. The fight went the distance for eight rounds, as Floyd outclassed his young counterpart. Notably, earlier this week, an old foe in the form of ‘The Golden Boy’ De La Hoya called Floyd out.
