imageFloyd Mayweather Sr.[1] beat the criminal charge ... but now he's being sued by the woman who accused him of punching her after the 1st Canelo[2]-GGG[3] fight last year.

In the lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports, Marsha Byrd claims she got into a verbal altercation with Mayweather Sr. on September 17, 2017 outside T-Mobile Arena in Vegas ... which she says turned physical.

Byrd says Floyd Sr. dragged her out of his car and repeatedly punched her with a closed fist ... 'causing her serious injuries.

Mayweather Sr. was actually charged with assault[4] back in January ... but he fought the case and was found NOT GUILTY[5] in June.

But, just 'cause he was found not guilty criminally ... doesn't mean he'll automatically win this civil case (see O.J. Simpson[6]).

Byrd doesn't specify exactly how much money she's after ... but we're guessing it's a lot.
