Personal feelings aside, Curmel Moton ranks himself higher than Abdullah Mason in one aspect of boxing: “It’s not really a question”

Who is the hottest young prospect in boxing right now? There are many contenders for the crown, but two names are really turning heads: the 18-year-old Curmel Motona rising star at Mayweather Promotions, and Abdullah Masonthe knockout artist who shines under the Top Rank banner. However, Moton, who is celebrated as the next one Floyd MayweatherHe is convinced that he is playing at a completely different level!

Mason may have the edge with a stunning pro record of 15-0-0 and 13 KOs at just 20 years old after three years as a pro, but Moton isn’t backing down! With just six fights and five KOs, the 18-year-old firecracker believes he is the fan favorite in the boxing world. He recently caused quite a stir on the “Tha Boxing Voice” podcast and brilliantly announced his popularity.

When the show’s host asked: “Do you think you’re already a bigger name in this sport than Abdullah Mason?” Moton didn’t hesitate in his answer. “Yes definitely. Me and Abdullah are cool… Sometimes I talk to him too, but I feel like it’s not really a question.” Moton told Tha Boxing Voice. It’s hard to argue with Moton’s claims – his popularity has only skyrocketed in the last year.

This is particularly due to his affiliation with Mayweather Promotions and more importantly, five-division champion Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather’s support and confidence in Moton’s abilities have thrust the 18-year-old into the spotlight since his debut on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo last September.

Although Top Rank has done a fantastic job promoting Mason, he’s just not as enthusiastic as Moton. Even a world champion turned promoter shares this opinion and praises Moton as the future of boxing.

Danny Garcia had to bring Curmel Moton to Philadelphia

“Big Deal” Moton has ended his fight against Hilario Martinez Moreno at the 2300 Arena, Philadelphia. The 18-year-old managed to secure another first-round knockout victory, which led to the event organizer: Danny GarcíaGive props to the young prospect. “Curmel is the future of boxing” Garcia said.

“He’s signed to Floyd Mayweather and Floyd knows talent and Floyd knows how to make a star. When I saw what he could do, I knew I had to bring him here to Philly.” Garcia went one step further, teasing Moton’s next fight on November 30 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Now it has been announced that the Utah native will fight against Ecuador Bryan Mercado.

Still, Curmel Moton seems confident that he is the most popular prospect on the scene, even though he has fewer professional fights than Abdullah Mason. But is the hype real? What do you think about Moton’s bold statement?
