I doubt Floyd was that good at 6 years Old

The only problem with child prodigy's like him and Floyd are that they normally burn out quickly, kind of like how Floyd has several hand and back injuries

Don't know if I agree with this man, kid looked kind of joyless. Very sombre kid.

Might just have been scared of being on TV and all though.

yeah, seems like 15-20 years of training and your body starts wearing out... he could be leaving his prime early, maybe like a vargas...

Yeah you have to bring children along very slowly. Fundamentals, and generally competitive attitude, work ethic, etc. That the most you shoot for out of those small children.

I love this kid!!! For him to be so coordinated at the age of 6 is amazing.....I was clumsy as hell at that age. I was luck not to trip over my own feet.

Very talented for a boy his age, but kids like that tend to get pushed hard by their parents and don't get to do what kids his age should be doing IMO.

That's what I think.

At 6 years old I was playing with Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles and crying because I couldn't spell my own name.

The fact that he started at 2 1/2 is proper pushy parenting. Like a kid that age says 'hmm, I do like this boxing stuff'

I don't know man the kid might really love it. My daughter is 3 and she loves it, I really didn't expect her to like it at all but she's been around it since she was born. Now when boxing comes on she's right next to me for the whole card.
