Floyd Mayweather’s 18-year-old protégé Curmel Moton may as well have cashed his check before setting foot in the ring. It took the undefeated prospect just 55 seconds on Saturday to dispatch overmatched opponent Victor Vazquez, who was competing for the first time since 2018. Moton has been touted as a future champion by Mayweather, who started working with the youngster after Moton showed up at Mayweather’s Las Vegas gym when he was only 10 years old.

The fighter branded ‘The Next Floyd Mayweather’ by the man himself scored a fifth win and fourth knockout on Saturday. However, it wasn’t all roses in the garden, as many see the future superstar being stifled by matchmaking. Moton went up against 5-2-1 Victor Vasquez in Mexico as mentor Floyd Mayweather topped the bill. The 18-year-old won in 55 seconds, but such was the caliber of his opponent that Moton could have ended the fight anytime he liked.

While fans of novelty boxing may be salivating for the scheduled Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight on November 15th, former world welterweight titlist Shawn Porter doesn’t think the fight will end up going down. “I hate to be the bearer of bad news,” the popular former champion claimed on The Porter Way podcast, “we’re not gonna ever see Mike Tyson get in the ring with Jake Paul…I don’t call the shots, I just don’t think Mike’s getting in the ring.” As far is Porter is concerned, the Tyson-Paul fight has been ridiculous from the get-go. “I just don’t see it happening,” he continued. “It didn’t make sense, to me, even from a business standpoint.”

Ray Leonard and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have excellent records in their amateur boxing before stepping up to the professional level. Amateur-wise, Leonard had 145 fights and lost only five of the fights, of which 75 of the wins came through knockouts, a feat he completed before competing in the 1976 Montreal Olympics, where he won the Gold Medal. The fight is, however, luckily placed next to the Gold Medal match, who was narrowly beaten in the semi-finals of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta after a very contentious fight against Serafim Todorov. At the beginning of his boxing career, he was virtually unbeaten in 84 fights, nine of which were defeats.

This writer once did an article, “‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard Knocked out Floyd Mayweather!” The first line said it was Sr., 15-1, not Jr., in September of 1978. Ray was 13-0. Looking at both ‘Sugar’ and ‘Money’ starting in the Olympics, Ray won Gold in 1976 in Montreal, defeating all six opponents. His amateur record was 145-5 with 75 stoppages. ‘Money’ lost a disputed decision in the semi-final for a Bronze medal, losing to Serafim Todorov, 94-14, of Bulgaria, by a 10-9 score in the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. His amateur record was 84-9.

Oscar De La Hoya believes boxers keeping their undefeated record is overrated and doesn’t automatically mean you can earn eight-figure purses.
