    Just read on this site they are calling him the "welsh mayweather". Any truth in that statement?

    Lee Selby is a 5'8.5 27 year old Featherweight with a 21-1 9 KO's record. Born and fighting out of Barry, Wales, United Kingdom. He is currently the British. Commonwealth and WBC International Featherweight Champion. He's currently yet another in the growing Empire of Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Sports. Lee has been called the Welsh Mayweather for a good reason he's very adept and slipping, and rolling with punches and is a very accurate counter puncher, but unlike Mayweather he's a lot more s****py and likes to mix it up far more than Floyd. He's good at throwing combinations in close and slipping his way through the barrage his opponent throw at him while he's in the pocket. Although he has a long way to go to be as good as Pretty Boy Floyd and in this scary division I'm not sure how far he'll go but he may get just shy of the top although Lomachenko and Walters are a tough ask of anyone to beat. So Check Out The Featherweight Barry Llofrudd Bachgen of Wales.

    Nah, he doesn't really fight like Mayweather but he's a pretty slick fighter. No power though.

    No he's just a dark Welshman, a lot of Welsh look like that because the Spanish colonize the British Isles a millennia ago, and the South of England, Wales southern Ireland the Spanish influence is more evident than in the North which was watered down by the Angles, Saxons and Vikings.
