Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Biography

Floyd Mayweather made opponents miss and never let them make him pay. The 50-0 record speaks to a defensive genius who turned not getting hit into high art. The shoulder roll, the counter right hand, the ability to read punches before they were thrown - it was boxing as chess while opponents played checkers. Five divisions, 15 world titles, victories over everyone worth beating in his era. The brash persona and spending habits made him famous beyond boxing, but the skill in the ring was undeniable. Critics called him boring; they couldn't touch him either. The perfect record may never be matched because no one else will be good enough to win while taking so few risks.
