Floyd Mayweather isn’t one to shy away from a verbal spar, and this time his opponent was Bill Haney, father and trainer of recently defeated boxer Devin Haney. In an intense session with FightHype, Mayweather laid it out clearly. “To Bill – if I’m not mistaken, it’s ‘not the Floyd Mayweather era’. The torch was ‘taken from me’. They said it’s not the Floyd Mayweather era… He didn’t have that same energy after the fight. Normally he’s right there like a parrot on Devin’s shoulder. That man was on a milk carton, he went missing,” he stated, as reported by Michael Benson.

“Have I ever needed your help with anything? Your son needs help tonight, not the other night, you bald a** hurt man. My son needs me, tomorrow, today, and every day. We don’t need you for dog s***.” It was a heated exchange, with both sides laying bare their frustrations and defenses, making it clear that this was more than just a simple disagreement—it was personal.
So, what’s your take on this verbal slugfest? Do you think these public spats are good for the sport, or do they distract from the real battles in the ring?
