    A SCHOOLBOY was given a battering in an online boxing game — then found out he was fighting former world champ Floyd Mayweather.

    George Guest, 15, was on his PlayStation 3 when he came up against an anonymous opponent who knew all the moves.

    Champ ... Floyd Mayweather

    The boxing-mad lad was knocked to the canvas three times in one round — prompting him to send the message: “Who do you think you are, Ricky Hatton?”
    His foe replied: “Actually I’m Floyd Mayweather.”
    After the bout on Fight Night 3 the pair CHATTED over the console’s headphones.
    George said: “I can’t believe it. I went a round with one of the best boxers in the world — and he knocked the granny out of me. He was taunting me like Muhammad Ali.”

    Message ... star chats to George


    The lad from Belvedere, Kent, said “I didn’t believe him at first but he started talking about his family and his fights and everything.”

    Retired six-time World Boxing Champion Floyd also sent George personal pictures and messages.
    George’s dad Bill, 51, said: “He was very friendly. He said he was in training for a comeback in Las Vegas.”
    Welterweight Floyd Mayweather Jnr, 32 — aka Pretty Boy Floyd — is one of the all-time top boxers.
    The American is unbeaten in 39 fights and the only man to knock out Hatton.
    Last night boxing agent Kevin Lueshing said: “Floyd is mad on these computer games and plays them all the time.”

    Haha imagine the frustration if you're a Floyd hater. He beats everyone arrayed against him and when you finally meet him in an area where you have a chance to beat him he destroys you.

    Wow.
