    Brother of Floyd Mayweather, Sr.
    Uncle and trainer to Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Why he might be annoying:

    He served six months in jail for domestic assault.
    His boxing career was overshadowed by his nephew's and his brother's.
    He was suspended for a year and fined $200,000 for jumping into the ring during Floyd Jr.'s match with Zab Judah and fighting with Judah and his father, provoking a small riot (2006).
    He was arrested at a Las Vegas apartment for allegedly attacking a female boxer he was training at the time (2009).
    He struck a plea deal with prosecutors, avoiding jail and paying a $1,000 fine with community service and counseling (2011).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He fought legends Julio César Chávez and Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini.
    He retired on top with a three-win streak and transitioned into the role of trainer effortlessly.
    He was instrumental in Floyd Jr’s career, training him when he turned professional while Floyd Sr. was in prison.
    He was such an asset to Floyd Jr. that when his brother returned from jail to take his place, the nephew fired his own father to rehire him as trainer.
    He suffered from brain damage and vision impairment from his time as a boxer.
    His memory issues caused him to go missing in 2016 for several days in Las Vegas.
    When asked about how he chose his nickname, he answered: 'It’s funny because I wanted a boxing nickname that wouldn’t be common to most people. One day when I was flipping through channels and I came upon this channel showing different reptiles, and they were showing the black mamba, one of the most deadly snakes in the world. I loved the way the mamba attacked so quietly, but when he hit you he just hit you one time and the poison was in you. That reminded me of myself right there.'
