Brother Floyd Mayweather, Justin Mayweather, parked his career in a ditch aged 7-0, despite the undefeated run.

Justin Jones, which is aimed at “Justin Mayweather Jones”, is the son of Floyd Mayweather Sr. and half -brother Floyd Jr.

Jones is one of the six well-known children of Floyd Sr., including a daughter born in 2017 for a 72-year-old former boxer.

Others are Fatimah, Detricia, Fannie and currently eight -year -old Nalai Mayweather, born for mother Purisa Farris, who successfully suffered a Mayweather sr. for maintenance in 2018.

Mayweather Sr. He has his hands full and perhaps the reason why he stopped training Justin, the only other eminent son, after Floyd Jr.

The 38-year-old fought only seven times in nine years, but he probably never lost the round at that time, keeping his name.

It seems that the Mayweather debuted in 2013 at home at Grand Rapids, and recently fought in 2022. Most of his attacks took place in Mexico, when Jones defeated many opponents.

He defeated Rick Ogden in his debut on his debut on the fifth third pitch to start his career. Jones stopped Ogden, 0-2, in the second round. Ogden lost thirteen of thirteen duels, so the initial win was nothing to write about.

Next appeared Albert Lee, who debuted against Jones in 2016. Until now, Jones moved his career to Mexico after two and a half years of absence in the ring. Lee lasted only 128 seconds with Mayweather, who began to boost his activity.

The fact that Lee never fought again became something like a topic, like six days later Jones stopped the debutant Alfred Tisdale Jr. In the only effort of man Fresno.

Jones took the next two years before he returned to the welterweight to face 2-5 Luis Gonzalez. Winning each round, Jones moved to 4-0 in August 2018.

At that time, Jones was the Mayweather gym, a regular and rubbing arms with some of the best names in the industry.

Despite the work, another 19 months passed before Jones returned to the ring in November 2019, again on the Mexican land. Beating 3-10, Antonio Gonzalez through early knockout led to another compact violent violent deviation.

Three months later, the fourth career of the first round took place, when Jones faced Christian Foster in Jamaica. Like Gonzalez, Tisdale and Lee, Foster never fought after Jones defeated him.

Another huge gap came for Jones, who returned in May 2022 for what turned out to be his last duel. He won each round of four against Luis Acevedo Sosa in Tijuana to cross his record to 7-0.

Brother Floyd Mayweather

Despite his name and obvious talent of Mayweather Jones, six rounds have never passed. This is a secret for which someone with his genes would not work anymore to see if he had a fraction of what his siblings had in his cabinet.

Mayweather Jr. He finished at 50-0 and fought everyone who was anyone during his term. Floyd Jr. He has one of the most respected CVs in sport and has exceeded over a billion dollars in bags and contract fees.

For Jones, this could be a case of pushing in a career, which he was not ecstatic simply because he was the brother of Floyd Mayweather, which caused only seven sporadic fights.

Regardless of the case, Jones has not fought for three years and looks unlikely to come back when he approaches forty.

Manny Pacquiao says that the desire to box and compete at the highest level remains. However, there are real fears related to his return at the age of 46.

One of the largest boxing in history vacuums his gloves and returns with the challenge of WBC Wyttereight Wakwagi on July 19. Pacquiao returns to his spiritual home at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas after he bowed to T-Mobile Arena before.

In 2021, Pacquiao was to fight Errol Spence Jr. In the unification of the WBA and IBF title. Spence withdrew because of two significant car accidents and left Pacquiao in Lurch.

Losing from Spence for two world titles to a huge extent foreign arena could then be acceptable to Pacquiao. However, the way of switching and the need to find a exchange had to make the loss to be abolished.

Yordenis Ugas, then the number one claimant, got a phone call. Pacquiao couldn’t get up.

Cuban, an amateur star with over 100 victories, managed to cross the line with a unanimous decision. If Pacquiao won, PBC would resurrect the fight of Spence.

As it turned out, Pacquiao remained to think about his future. The eight world champion decided that it was enough and moved on.

Pacquiao vs Barrios

Four years and a failed return to politics later, the former Senator of the Philippines Pacquiao returned. It looks much more coarse around the edge, but still has rapid and flashy training movements to go to an immediate recognizable legacy.

These ingredients can go a long way, for example, survival of the door, especially in the case of an unjustified title of the shot against Mario Barrios.

But you just have to ask Mike Tyson if the body can do what the mind wants to process.

Tyson returned at 58, twelve years north of the place where Pacquiao is currently standing. His training films were more cruel than ever and looked in a huge form.

In the face of Jake Paul, YouTube, devoid of world -class boxing skills, Tyson’s decision stopped him when the first bell rang.

Throwing a ten-second combination in the gym is good and good, but it is different when you have an opponent who rushed to you so that you have to move through a 120-second session.

Despite the fact that Paul gave Tyson two -minute rounds, “the worst man in the world” no longer fulfilled his nickname. He did not have what it was necessary to be a fraction of his ex -self.

After four years of release, Pacquiao is in the same situation. His performance will give a huge indication of how all the return of the last six years will go ahead.

If someone can do it, Manny Pacquiao can, but this is a high order.

By becoming the oldest welterweight champion against Keith Thurman during his last visit to MGM, Pacquiao hopes a familiar racial environment.

He returned with Freddie Roach on the wild Gym card in Los Angeles and puts everything in one more run.

The return of the Pacquiao ring coincides with its introduction to the International Gallery of Sław this weekend. However, defeat against Barrios would take on a significant gloss of gaining this year.

If he loses, it’s farewell. If he manages to win, he wants Gervont Davis.

Determination

The WBN fighter in the 2000s assured that he was grateful during the announcement that she was grateful.

“Fire, determination and willingness to work tough are still there. I still like to run in the mountains,” said Pacquiao.

“Not every warrior has this feeling. It’s a blessing because I experienced so many great fights in my career and I’m still here. I came back.

“For boxing fans around the world, thank you for accepting me again. I hope that on July 19 this fight will be fun for everyone.

“Everyone here will work tough in their training camp so that the fans are satisfied with July 19.”

One of the greatest competitors in the history of boxing, a former master who ruled in a fly weight before raising a super welter weight in a super welter, aims to overcome his own record by six years.

This is the level of expectations, not only from his fans, but from the man himself.

Everything is in place for Rocky Story Fairytale for Pacquiao. He just has to hope that his body can still earn this check.
