Floyd Mayweather Jr.: record, next fight and profile →
With his legendary, proud promoter standing beside him, Curmel Mouton exuded confidence that defies his age. The highly touted, 17-year-old featherweight prospect predicted that he’ll become a better fighter than Naoya Inoue when he was informed that Shakur Stevenson compared his skill set to that of the renowned Japanese superstar the day

Even Floyd Mayweather has been forced to take notice of what Naoya Inoue has been doing as of late. The Japanese star has gone from weight class to weight class dominating the best of the very best.
