A highly trusted inference in life is that it is full of ups and downs, and they say perfection is merely a concept. Martial arts is not only a way of life, but when closely looked at, it is a miniature of life itself. Boxing, being part of martial arts, has all the qualities that one daily greets – the conflict, the confrontation, the setback, and the counter.

The road ahead is fraught with difficulties, and perfection is hope. We can’t say if Floyd Mayweather has attained perfection, but if there is one thing that has gone close to it, then it is his record in pro boxing. 50-0! Unheard of, it is a record that one would treasure.

Talking about being 50-1, here’s a throwback to the time Kevin Hart threatened ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd.
