Comparison between Floyd Mayweather and Mikuru Asakura

The former five-weight division champ needs no introduction when it comes to sport. He is a far bigger persona than Asakura. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime for the latter to square off with one of the greatest fighters of all time.

The 45-year-old hung up the gloves after garnering a plethora of accolades in his career that lasted for more than two decades. The Olympic bronze medalist never faced defeat in his entire career. His lightning speed and impeccable defense remained the subject of admiration. In his heydays, the 5 feet 8 inches tall legend was the epitome of an ideal boxer with skills that were close to perfection.

Such an incredible resume made him a Hall of Famer.

On the other hand, Asakura, who has a natural stature of 5 feet 9 inches tall is 29 years old. This puts him at advantage against Mayweather. In his entire career, he has been to 17 professional bouts. With 3 losses, Asakura did well in the octagon.
