Floyd is calling Spence "The Future" and all this other stuff...which is cool
Problem is, Floyd has a poor effect on fighters who state are "next" and they end up falling off the level of hype they were shortly. I've been thinking about this lately, and yall tell me am I tripping
Example A: Devon Alexander
Devon Alexander beats Juan Urango in dazzling fashion and at the time, Alexander was 23 years old, 20-0 with 14 wins via KO. Floyd Mayweather really goes in and raves on how "Alexander The Great" was up next and The Future of Boxing:
After he gets the stamp of approval from Floyd.....he's 6-3 over his last 9 fights
Example B: Adrien Broner
Do I need to say anything?
AB is touted as the next Mayweather, moves up 2 weight classes and beats Paulie Malignaggi in front of Floyd who was at the fight, and becomes a 3x Champion in 3 Different Weight Classes by the time he was only 23. At the time, AB is 27-0 with 22 wins via KO. Floyd then goes on to start professing his love for "Lil Bro" loudly and in public, predicting that AB will be "The Future of Boxing":
After he gets the stamp of approval from Floyd.....he's 3-2 over his last 5 fights
Now, this brings us to Errol Spence.
Errol Spence Jr. is 25 years old, 17-0 with 14 wins via KO, and coming off a great showing against Phil Lo Greco (those body shots

). Floyd Mayweather is now intrigued with this young boxer and is proclaimed him as "The Future Of Boxing".
Is Errol Spence Jr. gonna be able to break "The Mayweather Curse" brehs?
We will found out over the next couple years
