    But no, and this is a prime example why rich kids dont box, its a hard sport.

    That kid better never go pro because he will have a target on head without the skill to defend it.

    And the way he pulls back with his chin in the air is an accident waiting to happen
    he didnt grow up a mayweather though.

    he didnt know who his father was until one or two years ago when his mother told him it was floyd sr which was later confirmed by a DNA test.

    he changed his name from jones to mayweather recently when he moved to vegas to connect with his father and that side of his family. he wasnt a rich kid in any way, quite the contrary from what i heard.

    as far as his ability goes he is very fresh in the boxing game, the fact that he is already that good is a testament to the natural boxing talent coursing through his veins.

    with some more time in the sport he may become a good fighter, only time will tell. i think its pathetic how so many of you are just brushing him aside without knowing anything about the kid simply due to his last name.

        He definitely isn't 19 years old, we already saw a video of him like 4/5 years old when he was around that age. He must be like 25 now or almost.

          Ok well that explains a lot then, the TS said he was 19 but he is 27 with one pro fight so odds are against him going too far in the game.

          But props to him giving it a try

              Messed up, you never see Justin Mayweather around him at all.

              I don't get along with my brother and the day I become successful wouldn't change that either. We took different paths with the same opportunities, i'm working hard in college, he's smoking hard. No pot smoking, do-nothing family member gets a handout or "relationship" with me. Don't give a **** what anyone thinks, i'm the one that is cursed to live with such a low life. I don't know the situation between them but maybe Floyd feels the same, maybe he feels his brother has had the same opportunities as him but refuses to work hard like Floyd did? I look down on that and I won't put Floyd down if that is his reason.

              Now if you are talking about DLH refusing his son a relationship, that's ****ed up. You give birth to a child, you should be there for him/her.

                Seeing the trend on how Floyd thinks, maybe he feels that Justin changed his surname to Mayweather to try and seek out $$$. It could genuinely be to try and connect with his father, but I imagine if the Mayweather's weren't popular would he have changed his name? I mean if I find out my dad isn't my biological father, and find my real father, I highly doubt I would change my surname to my biological father's surname. Unless of course I had the mind of a gold digger and my bio-father and rest of family are 'wealthy' and I wanted some.

                On the other hand, he could use his new Mayweather surname and Mayweather blood as a way to create his own path in boxing and milk his family name as much as possible. He'll surely get the spotlight with that name, all he'll need to do is be a good fighter.
