Well there is an urban legend that Morales insert term [got the better/beat the piss/schooled] Mayweather in sparring, when they were both with Top Rank.
WBC 122 lb. champion Erik Morales recently spent a few days training at high-altitude Big Bear, CA. While there, Morales sparred with WBC 130 lb. champ Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather. According to a Los Angeles newspaper, for two rounds the smaller Morales put some serious hurt on the larger Mayweather. Mayweather didn't like it one bit and stormed out angry.

Due to numerous requests from readers wanting to know what really happened between Erik Morales and Floyd Mayweather when they sparred at Big Bear, CA, Diamond Damon went right to the source. Erik was not at home but I did speak with Erik's chief second Fernando Fernandez who was there when they sparred. He told me that when Erik and Floyd were sparring together on the first day that Floyd was trying to teach Erik some of his defensive moves and Erik told him "No way, you can't do it like that or you'll get hit". Floyd didn't believe him so Erik started started feinting him and then peppering him with shots. Fernando said Erik did land some big shots on Floyd and that Floyd looked really surprised and eventually stormed out of the ring all pissed off. The next day they were supposed to spar again but Floyd didn't show up, electing to train in the afternoon instead of in the morning with Erik.
