Isaac Brekken/AP/Press Association ImagesRecord: 43-0 (26 KO) Fought Between: 1996-Present
Titles won: Eight in five weight divisions. WBC Super Featherweight Champion, WBC Lightweight Champion, WBC Junior Welterweight Champion, IBF Welterweight Champion, two time WBC Welterweight Champion and WBC & WBA Junior Middleweight Champion.
Floyd 'Money' Mayweather was born to box. His father fought Sugar Ray Leonard and his uncle was a world champion. It's in his blood. When you consider how great Floyd is, especially as a defensive specialist, you could be forgiven for thinking that the blood in his veins must run cold because of how cool under pressure he is.
Arguably one of the smartest boxers in history with a boxing IQ that would put Einstein to shame, 'Money' Mayweather is an elusive and merciless opponent that has given most of today's current crop of boxers nightmares. Currently undefeated, Floyd is on his way to going down in history as one of, it not the, greatest boxer of all time.
Some critics point to dodging fights with top level opponents or a brash personality as reasons to put him down but he has won eight championships in five different divisions and, amazingly, has barely taken a punch in his entire career. Love him or hate him, Floyd Mayweather's place on credible lists of history's greatest boxers cannot be questioned.
