Following his (third) retirement in 2017, Mayweather Jr. confirmed his place as one of the greatest boxers in history. His winning streak ended only with his exit from the sport following his famous win against MMA star Conor McGregor in 2017.

He has contested 50 matches in his professional career, winning every one of them. This includes high-profile wins against the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Genaro Hernandez.

Furthermore, Mayweather might not be finished - Boxing News 24/7 reports that the unbeaten star is planning on returning to the ring yet again for a big bout in 2021. Whether this means he extends his winning streak, or tastes defeat for the first time in his career, remains to be seen.
