Watch: Floyd Mayweather Sr., 71, and Jeff Mayweather, 59, Challenged in a Boxing Speed Contest by Gym Guest

Age is just a number. Jeff Mayweather and Floyd Mayweather Sr. are living proof of it. Many know the two as the uncle and father of Floyd Mayweather Jr. However, both of them are formidable boxers of their time. As a matter of fact, Jeff Mayweather is the former featherweight world champion. Meanwhile, Mayweather Sr. is a professional boxer himself and retired with a record of 28 wins with just six defeats.

Decades after their retirement, the sweet science has not left them. In a recent turn of events, the two brothers made headlines in the boxing world after they showcased their hand speed against a younger gym guest. Find out what went down.

The speed of Jeff Mayweather and Floyd Mayweather Sr. after retirement

Mayweather Sr. and Jeff Mayweather frequently share snippets of their time in the gym and elsewhere on their YouTube channel named, ‘Mayweather Channel.’ In a recent video posted by them, the two appear to be challenged by a young gym guest for a hand speed test. The three stand next to each other and, on the count of 3, throw a jab to see who is the fastest.

When the first time they did, Floyd Sr. didn’t even throw a jab. The cameraman mockingly asserted that Mayweather Sr. was the fastest one of the three. He stated, “I think Floyd got that one.” Witnessing this, Jeff Mayweather had a friendly objection. They had another contest in which the cameraman called Floyd out for punching before the count of three. He stated, “Floyd Cheated.”

This friendly competition and banter was a fun sight to witness. Not to mention, their speed, at the age of 71 and 59, still appears to be impressive and deserves praise. This friendly banter is a usual affair for the two. Mayweather Sr. is often seen taking sly digs at Jeff Mayweather during their appearance on the channel.

A few months ago, during a similar appearance, Mayweather Sr. asked his brother to throw a punch on a boxing pad. After throwing a couple of punches, Mayweather mocked it by saying, “You ain’t got nothing in there.” Even the Cameraman joked by asking how did you become a world champion by cracking that punch. The cameraman stated, “I want to know how you won 30 sum fights with that kind of form.” After another attempt, Mayweather made fun of his punch once again while stating, “You see what I am saying, that’s how you don’t know how.”
