Floyd Mayweather Calls Out Leigh Wood
In another conversation with FightHype, Mayweather reiterated his intention to pit Curmel Moton, who has not yet made his professional boxing debut, against the current WBA featherweight champion Leigh Wood. This demonstrates Mayweather’s eagerness to arrange the match, regardless of Moton’s lack of professional experience.
Mayweather said: “Leigh Wood – I’ve got a 126lber Curmel Moton, that would be a good match now. He’s turning professional. We take chances to be great. Eddie Hearn is a good businessman and I’m a good businessman. Our guy is O-0, we’ll take the fight. I’ll put all the money up for both sides. My guy’s 17, he’s destined to be great. Remember I told you that.”
Moton, despite his teenage status, boasts an impressive track record. He has secured numerous amateur titles, including an astounding 18X National Champion accolade.
Moton’s exceptional talents are evident in his sparring sessions with prominent figures like Tank Davis, to whom he has been likened.
Floyd has previously expressed his belief that Moton could emerge as “the next Floyd Mayweather,” a prediction yet to be proven. Mayweather is unfazed by swiftly advancing Moton’s career.
It would be intriguing to hear Leigh Wood’s perspective on Floyd’s remarks. The question arises whether Eddie Hearn would consider arranging a Wood-Moton fight, contingent on Wood’s triumph over Warrington.
