Follow Us
Floyd Mayweather, arguably the greatest boxer of the era, has surpassed the limits of a boxing ring to expand his reign as an entertainer, businessman, and celebrity. While he has remained untouched in his professional boxing career, the five-division world champion has locked horns against a kickboxer, MMA star, and a WWE wrestler in his journey.
Hence, many fans tag him as a picture-perfect combatant. But Mayweather has fought all his opponents in what appeared to be traditional boxing fights, and putting him in a unique form of combat can shed light on the flaws of his game. Meanwhile, a lucrative payday and a sensational fighting experience can urge Mayweather to take the step.
