Floyd Mayweather Training

I'm always interested in the training of fighters, no matter what combat sports or martial arts they're from. There's always something to be learnt or admired when watching dedicated or accomplished fighters train. Hope you all know who Floyd Mayweather is. If not he is the current World WBC welterweight champion and has won six different world championship belts in five different weights!

I don't really like his brashness and showboating but I do like his boxing skills. Two things to note from this clip. He comes from a boxing family. His father was a pro boxer as well and he's trained by his uncle. That's his uncle iirc doing the padwork with him. They have a very unique tap tap style of padwork style I haven't seen anywhere else. Doesn't seem to emphasise much power in the padwork but I'm guessing it develops and focuses strongly on speed, accuracy and reflexes.

The second thing is his awesome skipping rope routine. He makes it look so easy doing all the complicated tricks and skills. There's a couple of youtube vids solely on this which I'll post later on.
