Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr. (born February 24, 1977) is a famous American boxing promoter and a former professional boxer. He competed from 1996 to 2017 and retired without losing a single fight!

Mayweather won 15 big world championships in five weight classes, from super featherweight to light middleweight. He also won the Ring magazine title in three weight classes. As an amateur boxer, he won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics. He also won three U.S. Golden Gloves championships.

Many experts call Mayweather one of the best boxers ever. He was named "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2010s. He won "Fighter of the Year" awards multiple times from different boxing groups. In 2016, ESPN said he was the greatest boxer, pound for pound, of the last 25 years.

He is known for being one of the best defensive boxers in history. He was very accurate with his punches and hard to hit. He holds records for winning many world title fights in a row. In 2021, he was added to the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Mayweather is also one of the most successful athletes in terms of money earned from pay-per-view events. He was often on Forbes and Sports Illustrated lists as one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. In 2006, he started his own boxing company called Mayweather Promotions.

Early Life and Boxing Family

Floyd Joy Sinclair was born on February 24, 1977, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He grew up in a family of boxers. His father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., was a boxer who fought famous opponents. His uncles, Jeff and Roger Mayweather, were also professional boxers. Roger, who later became Floyd's trainer, won two world championships.

Floyd's last name changed to Mayweather shortly after he was born. He went to Ottawa Hills High School but left early. Boxing was always a big part of his life, and he never thought about doing anything else.

Amateur Boxing Career

Mayweather had a great amateur record, winning 84 fights and losing only 8. He won national Golden Gloves championships in 1993, 1994, and 1996. His teammates called him "Pretty Boy" because he didn't get many scars. This was thanks to the strong defensive skills his father and uncle Roger taught him.

He often used a special defense called the shoulder roll. In this technique, he would keep his right hand up and his left hand low. He would raise his lead shoulder to protect his chin and block punches. This made it very hard for opponents to hit him cleanly.

1996 Atlanta Olympics

At the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Mayweather won a bronze medal in the featherweight division. He made it to the semi-finals.

In one of his fights, he beat a Cuban boxer, Lorenzo Aragon, which was a big deal because no U.S. boxer had beaten a Cuban in 20 years at the Olympics. In his semi-final fight against Serafim Todorov from Bulgaria, Mayweather lost in a very close and disputed decision. The referee even mistakenly raised Mayweather's hand, thinking he had won.

The U.S. team protested the decision, saying the judges were unfair. One judge even resigned because he disagreed with how the fight was scored. Mayweather believed he was the true winner.

Professional Boxing Career

Mayweather started his professional career on October 11, 1996. He won his first fight by knockout. His father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., later became his trainer. Mayweather quickly gained a reputation as a very talented boxer.

Super Featherweight Champion

In 1998, just two years after turning pro, Mayweather won his first world title. He defeated Genaro Hernández to become the WBC super featherweight champion. Hernández was the top-ranked fighter in that weight class and had never been defeated there before. After the fight, Hernández said Mayweather was "quick, smart, and a true champ."

Mayweather became the first U.S. Olympian from the 1996 team to win a world title. His promoter, Bob Arum, even compared him to boxing legends like Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali. Mayweather continued to dominate the super featherweight division, defending his title many times.

Mayweather vs. Diego Corrales

One of Mayweather's most important fights in this division was against Diego Corrales in 2001. Both fighters were undefeated. Mayweather was ranked #2 in his weight class, and Corrales was #1. Mayweather won every round and knocked Corrales down five times! Corrales' team stopped the fight, showing how completely Mayweather dominated.

After this win, many people started calling Mayweather one of the best boxers in the world, pound for pound. He was so good that the HBO commentator, Larry Merchant, joked that another famous boxer, Naseem Hamed, wouldn't want to fight Mayweather after seeing that performance.

Lightweight Champion

In 2002, Mayweather moved up to the lightweight division. His first fight there was against the WBC champion, José Luis Castillo. Mayweather won the fight by a unanimous decision, becoming the WBC and The Ring lightweight champion. This was a tough fight, and Mayweather later said he had injured his shoulder before it.

Mayweather vs. Castillo Rematch

Because their first fight was so close, Mayweather agreed to a rematch with Castillo in December 2002. This time, Mayweather showed off his amazing footwork and quick punches. He won again by unanimous decision, proving he was the better fighter.

Light Welterweight Champion

Mayweather then moved up to the light welterweight division. In 2005, he fought Arturo Gatti for the WBC light welterweight championship. Mayweather was very confident before the fight, even calling Gatti "a C+ fighter."

Mayweather vs. Arturo Gatti

The fight took place in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Gatti had a lot of fan support. Mayweather entered the ring on a chariot! He completely controlled the fight from the start. Mayweather was much faster and landed almost every punch. Gatti's corner stopped the fight after the sixth round, giving Mayweather his third world title. This win cemented Mayweather's place as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters.

Welterweight Champion

After beating Gatti, Mayweather moved up to the welterweight division. In 2006, he fought Zab Judah for the IBF welterweight title. Mayweather won by a unanimous decision. During the fight, there was a brief scuffle in the ring involving both fighters' teams, but order was restored, and Mayweather finished strong.

Mayweather vs. Carlos Baldomir

Later in 2006, Mayweather fought Carlos Baldomir for the WBC and The Ring welterweight titles. Baldomir had not lost in eight years, but Mayweather easily defeated him by unanimous decision. Mayweather used his defensive skills to avoid Baldomir's punches and landed sharp jabs and hooks. This win made Mayweather the first boxer since Roberto Durán to win The Ring titles in both the lightweight and welterweight divisions.

Light Middleweight Champion

Mayweather's next big challenge was against six-division champion Oscar De La Hoya in May 2007. This fight was for De La Hoya's WBC light middleweight title, meaning Mayweather moved up in weight again.

Mayweather vs. Oscar De La Hoya

This fight was a huge event, setting records for most pay-per-view buys and revenue in boxing history at the time. Mayweather won the fight by a split decision after 12 rounds, taking the WBC title. Many experts felt Mayweather should have won by a unanimous decision because he landed more punches. After this fight, Mayweather thought about retiring, saying he had nothing left to prove.

Return to Welterweight and First Retirement

After the De La Hoya fight, Mayweather gave up his light middleweight title but kept his welterweight title. He then decided to come out of his short retirement to fight Ricky Hatton, who was also undefeated.

Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton

The fight, called "Undefeated," happened in December 2007. Mayweather controlled the fight from the beginning. He knocked Hatton out in the 10th round to keep his welterweight championship. Mayweather later said Hatton was one of his toughest opponents. After this fight, Mayweather announced his retirement from boxing to focus on his promotional company.

Comeback to Boxing

Mayweather came out of retirement in 2009 to fight Juan Manuel Márquez. He won this fight easily by a unanimous decision. This fight was also a big success for pay-per-view.

Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley

In May 2010, Mayweather fought Shane Mosley. Mosley started strong, landing some good punches that made Mayweather's knees wobble. But Mayweather quickly recovered and dominated the rest of the fight, winning by unanimous decision. This fight was the second-best-selling non-heavyweight pay-per-view bout in history at the time.

Mayweather vs. Victor Ortiz

Mayweather returned to the ring in September 2011 to fight WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz. Mayweather was in control for the first few rounds. In the fourth round, Ortiz intentionally headbutted Mayweather, causing a cut. The referee took a point from Ortiz. After the referee restarted the fight, Ortiz hugged Mayweather. As Ortiz let go, Mayweather quickly landed a left hook and a right hand, knocking Ortiz out. Mayweather defended his actions by saying boxers must "protect yourself at all times."

Return to Light Middleweight

In May 2012, Mayweather moved up in weight again to fight WBA super welterweight champion Miguel Cotto.

Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto

Mayweather defeated Cotto by unanimous decision after 12 rounds. Mayweather used his movement and boxing skills to control the fight. Cotto was tough and tried to trap Mayweather on the ropes, but Mayweather was able to counter his punches. Mayweather said Cotto was the toughest fighter he had ever faced. This fight also generated a lot of money in pay-per-view sales.

Break from Boxing

Mayweather took a break from boxing in 2012.

Mandatory Welterweight Title Defense

Mayweather returned to the ring in May 2013 to face Robert Guerrero. This was his first fight after his break.

Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero

Mayweather won the fight by unanimous decision. He showed great control, hitting Guerrero almost at will with different punches. This fight was also very successful in pay-per-view sales.

Catchweight Fight

In September 2013, Mayweather fought Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez, a younger champion. The fight was set at a special weight of 152 pounds.

Mayweather vs. Canelo Álvarez

Mayweather defeated Álvarez by a majority decision after 12 rounds. Many thought this would be Mayweather's toughest fight, but he outsmarted Álvarez. One judge scored the fight a draw, which was controversial, but most observers felt Mayweather clearly won. This fight broke records for pay-per-view revenue.

Welterweight Unification

Mayweather continued to unify titles in the welterweight division.

Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana

In May 2014, Mayweather fought Marcos Maidana in a unification bout. Maidana was a tough opponent and came out very aggressively, forcing Mayweather to fight differently. Mayweather won the fight by a majority decision. It was one of his most challenging fights, and many fans wanted a rematch.

Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana II

A rematch with Maidana was confirmed for September 2014. Mayweather was better prepared this time and won by unanimous decision. During the fight, Maidana appeared to bite Mayweather's hand, which was a strange moment! Mayweather earned a lot of money from this fight, and it also did very well on pay-per-view.

Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao

One of the most anticipated fights in boxing history finally happened on May 2, 2015, when Mayweather fought Manny Pacquiao. This fight had been talked about for years. Mayweather controlled the fight with his jab and movement, making Pacquiao miss many punches. Mayweather won by unanimous decision.

After the fight, Pacquiao said he had a shoulder injury, but Mayweather later said he wouldn't agree to a rematch because Pacquiao was a "sore loser." The World Boxing Organization (WBO) later took away Mayweather's welterweight championship because he held titles in multiple weight classes and didn't pay a fee.

Second Retirement

Mayweather vs. Andre Berto

Mayweather defended his welterweight titles against Andre Berto in September 2015. Some people thought Berto wasn't a strong enough opponent, but Mayweather chose him. Mayweather dominated the fight, winning by unanimous decision. He landed many more punches than Berto.

After defeating Berto, Mayweather announced his retirement from boxing. He walked away with an amazing undefeated record of 49 wins and 0 losses.

Return and Third Retirement

The idea of Mayweather fighting again came up in 2016. Rumors started about a big crossover fight between Mayweather and MMA star Conor McGregor.

Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor

After many months of talks, Mayweather and McGregor announced they would fight on August 26, 2017, in Las Vegas. This was a huge event, called "The Money Fight." Mayweather won by TKO in the 10th round, reaching a professional record of 50 wins and 0 losses, surpassing boxing legend Rocky Marciano.

Mayweather started slowly, letting McGregor punch himself out in the early rounds. As McGregor tired, Mayweather took control, landing many clean shots. The referee stopped the fight when McGregor could barely stand. Mayweather said it was his last fight and that McGregor was a "hell of a champion." This fight broke many pay-per-view records.

Exhibition Bouts

Even after retiring from professional boxing, Mayweather has participated in several exhibition fights. These are not official professional fights but are for entertainment.

Mayweather vs. Tenshin Nasukawa

In December 2018, Mayweather fought Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition match in Japan. Mayweather won by TKO in the first round, knocking Nasukawa down three times. Mayweather said he did the fight just to entertain fans.

Mayweather vs. Logan Paul

On June 6, 2021, Mayweather faced internet personality Logan Paul in an exhibition bout. The fight went the full eight rounds, and no winner was announced. Mayweather landed more punches, but Paul used his size to hold him often. Mayweather praised Paul, saying he was "better than I thought he was."

Other Exhibition Fights

Mayweather has continued to have exhibition fights against various opponents, including Don Moore (2022), Mikuru Asakura (2022), Deji Olatunji (2022), Aaron Chalmers (2023), and John Gotti III (2023 and 2024). These fights are usually non-scored and are mainly for entertainment.

Entertainment Career

Mayweather has also appeared in other forms of entertainment.

WWE

Mayweather appeared in WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) in 2008. He had a storyline fight with a very large wrestler called Big Show. At WrestleMania XXIV, Mayweather defeated Big Show using brass knuckles to keep his undefeated record. He was reportedly paid a lot of money for this appearance.

Dancing with the Stars

In 2007, Mayweather was a contestant on the TV show Dancing with the Stars. He danced with professional ballroom dancer Karina Smirnoff. They were the fourth couple to be eliminated from the competition.

Personal Life

Mayweather lives in a large, custom-built mansion in Las Vegas. He owns the Mayweather Boxing Club, a gym in Las Vegas. He also owned a racing team in the NASCAR Cup Series called The Money Team Racing.

In 2008, he recorded a rap song called "Yep." In 2011, he paid for the funeral of a former opponent, Genaro Hernandez, who passed away from cancer.
