Floyd Mayweather remained at the top of his game for almost 21 years. In his immaculate boxing run, Mayweather fought some of the biggest fighters of his era, and never once in his professional career did he lose a bout. That said, the boxing legend finally hung up his gloves in 2017 with a clean 50-0 record.

In an era of aggressive fighters, ‘Pretty Boy’ broke into the limelight by showing up with his defensive boxing abilities. His shoulder roll, head movements, and overall fast-paced movements made him a renowned defensive boxer of the new era.

Mayweather had knockout power under the bag, but it wasn’t the best. Out of his 50 wins, the Michigan native claimed 27 T/KO wins, taking his total KO ratio to 54%.
