In the video, we see the trickster try his best to put off Mayweather in the start and after a few quick movements of the cups, asks Mayweather to guess which cup has the ball. ‘TBE’ then placed a $100 bet on his guess, and unsurprisingly Mayweather got it right.

Floyd Mayweather using his vision to beat opponents

The video shows only a small glimpse of what Mayweather’s vision was really like. Back in the day, the 50-0 boxer could see his opponents’ punches from miles away. As a result, he avoided significant damage throughout his career.

There are several bouts that we can look back on as an example of this. The greatest example would be his famous encounter with Canelo Alvarez. The legendary boxer schooled the Mexican with his movement and experience.
