American boxer who finished his career undefeated at 50–0 across five weight classes.
Background
Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather came from a boxing family — his father Floyd Sr. and uncle Roger were both former champions. He won bronze at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics before turning professional.
Career
He won world titles in the super featherweight, lightweight, light welterweight, welterweight, and light middleweight divisions. His 2015 fight with Manny Pacquiao generated record pay-per-view revenue. He retired at 50–0 after defeating Conor McGregor in 2017.
Style of play
A right-handed defensive boxer using a shoulder roll and counter-jab style, Mayweather emphasized accuracy and footwork over power. His career knockout rate was lower than many champions despite the unbeaten record.
