A resurfaced clip from a 2017 interview featuring boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and rapper Soulja Boy has the internet buzzing once again, showcasing a moment of barely concealed amusement from the undefeated champion.
In the viral footage, the 34-year-old rapper enthusiastically shares stories about his alleged confrontations during his high school years, while Mayweather, sitting beside him, maintains a notably skeptical expression. The boxing icon can be seen examining Soulja Boy’s knuckles with a subtle smirk playing across his face.
The clip was part of a larger interview during a period when Mayweather had agreed to train Soulja Boy for a proposed exhibition with Chris Brown. While Soulja Boy secured Mayweather’s guidance, Brown had aligned himself with former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. The exhibition never materialized.
Social media users have been quick to analyze Mayweather’s telling reaction. One user commented, “Floyd starring at Souljas knuckles, cuz any fighter know if you really been [active] since highschool you would have a couple scars on your knuckles.” Another observed, “Floyd was staring at that fake jewelry he had on 🤣.”
“Lol, Floyd looking like ‘ok bro’… Most dudes do not live in reality,” wrote another user, while someone else noted, “For 13 seconds Floyd was tryna analyze was Soulja watch fake. That bullshit Soulja was talkin was background noise 😂😂😂😂😂.”
Mayweather, who boasts a perfect professional record of 50-0, has maintained his presence in the sport through exhibition matches, most recently facing John Gotti III. His reaction in the interview has become a source of entertainment for fans, with some speculating about a potential future exhibition between the two personalities.
