Floyd Mayweather Sr openly admitted that his son deserves to lose one battle: “I am honest”

Floyd Mayweather Jr. may have retired without defeating but his father Floyd Sr felt that that record should be impaired.

Mayweather hanged his gloves in 2017 after going 50-0 in his careerbecoming a five -weight world champion and winning victories against people like Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez and Oscar de la Hoya along the way.

It is that battle with De La Hoya that Floyd Sr believes his son should have been lost, as he revealed during the after -fighting summary after the attack while involved in the HBO broadcast.

“I’m going to be honest with you, man. If you want to call fighting by scoring, a points system, who throws more punch, you had to give it to Oscar. If you go on a guy hitting a man with single shots, you have to give it to my son.

“My son had a good defense, he caught a lot of punch with his shoulder and arm, but he is still about man throwing punches. If he touches you, he scores … I thought the battle is a close fight, just where the points system goes. If you look at the points system, who touches who is most …

Floyd SR worked with De La Hoya between 2001 and 2006, but money issues meant that the pair did not work together for the fight with Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather JR would eventually win a split decision victory, The only time in his career for a judge scored a pool against him.
