Conor McGregor might want to start taking notes, because when it comes to classy responses, retired boxer Floyd Mayweather gave him a run for his money here.Promoting the upcoming super-lightweight fight between Gervonta Davis and Liam Walsh, the Money was there with his protege Davis before Walsh started firing shots at both Davis and Mayweather.The undefeated legend, 40, trained Davis for his last seven fights, channelling Davis' rough upbringing in Baltimore into boxing greatness. He is taking up the reigns again to ensure the 22-year-old keeps his title and undefeated record.Money had praised his pupil, who has 16 knockouts in 17 fights, claiming that he will definitely be one of the greats, as reported by the Sun: “There are a lot of fighters who are World champions who are not as big as Gervonta is.“He’s connected to me but also he can fight. I would say this, Gervonta is not just the youngest World champion, he’s one of the most exciting fighters in boxing. We know there will be blood, sweat and tears.”But, 30-year-old Walsh did not hesitate to respond, claiming: "Gervonta has been touted as the future of boxing and the next superstar, but no man is unbeatable.”And that was Walsh's big mistake.Money fixed a lethal stare on his protege's opponent while the audience burst out in laughter, before the legend did the same, winning that verbal sparring match without even saying a word.You can see the amusing moment in the video below.
This will undoubtedly be read as a warning shot to UFC star Conor McGregor, who has repeatedly been gunning for a fight with Mayweather, who has a 49-0 professional record.
Reports have been sketchy on whether the fight will go ahead, but the proposed crossover fight is supposed to be worth tens of millions of dollars, and will surely be tipped as the fight of the century between two popular and unstoppable boxers.
But, the Notorious has been reported by the Daily Mail to be working on his boxing skills, fuelling speculation that the fight could go ahead.
Well, both of them are pretty good at staring and bursting into laughter, so please make this happen!
