Floyd Mayweather Speaks Out After Brutal Training Session with Terence Crawford Ahead of Canelo Fight
In a shocking turn of events, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has finally broken his silence after being hurt by Terence Crawford during an intense training session. The incident, which occurred as Crawford prepares for a potential superfight against Canelo Álvarez, has sent the boxing world into a frenzy.
Following the grueling sparring session, Mayweather addressed the situation for the first time, acknowledging Crawford’s power and skill while downplaying the severity of the blow.
“Look, Terence is a hell of a fighter. He’s sharp, he’s fast, and he’s got that killer instinct. It was just a good shot—it happens in boxing,” Mayweather stated.
Despite his composed response, eyewitnesses claim that Crawford’s punch visibly stunned Mayweather, momentarily forcing the undefeated champion to backpedal before regaining his footing. Some even speculated that Floyd was “shaken” after the session, something that rarely happens to the defensive master.
With rumors of a blockbuster fight between Crawford and Canelo Álvarez heating up, the session with Mayweather was meant to simulate elite-level defense and counterpunching. However, many were left stunned by the sheer power and precision that Crawford displayed.
A source close to the camp revealed:
“Terence wasn’t holding back. He’s taking this fight seriously, and if this was just a sparring session, imagine what he’ll do to Canelo.”
The news of Mayweather struggling against Crawford has sparked massive debate among boxing fans. Some believe this is proof that Crawford is on another level, while others argue that Floyd, at his age, isn’t the same fighter he once was.
“If Crawford can do that to Mayweather, imagine what he’ll do to Canelo. This fight is going to be crazy,” one fan tweeted.
“Let’s be real, Floyd isn’t in his prime anymore. But this does show that Crawford’s speed and power are legit,” another fan commented.
While Mayweather brushed off the incident, it’s clear that Terence Crawford is locked in and ready for war. If the fight with Canelo Álvarez becomes official, fans can expect an all-out war between two of boxing’s biggest stars.
As for Mayweather, some are questioning whether this sparring session is a sign that the 50-0 legend should stay retired for good. Will he return for another exhibition, or was this a wake-up call that even “Money” Mayweather isn’t untouchable anymore?
One thing is certain: Crawford vs. Canelo is shaping up to be a fight for the ages—and after what happened to Floyd, Canelo might just have something to worry about.
