Floyd Mayweather may be celebrated as one of the greatest fighters in boxing history, boasting an impeccable record of unbeaten matches, but recent public opinion has shown that even the most renowned champions are not immune to criticism. As Mayweather prepares for his upcoming bout against John Gotti III on August 23, fans have taken to social media to voice their discontent over his latest training routine.
Despite officially retiring from professional boxing in 2017, the 47-year-old Mayweather remains active in the sport through a series of exhibition fights. His latest training sessions have sparked reactions from boxing enthusiasts, who have expressed their skepticism about his current form and preparation methods.
Recent footage showing Mayweather training with a punching bag, accompanied by a woman, has drawn a wave of criticism from fans on X.com (formerly Twitter). Some viewers were less than impressed with the way he handled the bag, with comments questioning his effectiveness and fitness.
“Couldn’t destroy a real fighter in his prime,” one user remarked, while another criticized his technique, stating, “He’s punching the bag like a lightweight.” A third fan added, “Even in Floyd’s prime on his best day ever, he never destroyed no heavy bag.”
Mayweather’s next challenge comes on August 23 when he faces John Gotti III in Mexico City. This bout will be a rematch of their June 13, 2023, fight, which ended in controversy after a brawl erupted. The referee had called off the fight after six rounds of Mayweather dominance, although Gotti III managed to land some blows, escalating the conflict. Gotti III attempted to confront Mayweather and his team after the fight, leading to further tensions.
The rematch at Arena CDMX promises to be a highly anticipated event, with tickets still available through StubHub, ranging from $76 to $23,280. Fans can catch the fight live on DAZN, which holds the global broadcast and streaming rights.
As Mayweather continues to prepare for this highly anticipated bout, the criticism of his training methods highlights the ever-present scrutiny that comes with being a high-profile athlete. Whether these detractors affect his performance remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the world will be watching closely as Floyd Mayweather steps back into the ring.
