LeBron James has been dominating the landscape of basketball for about a decade now. The King is still one of the best players in the league and continues to grow his legacy. However, there are other sports athletes who match him in achievements. One of them is boxing’s own Floyd Mayweather who has been dominant since the time Michael Jordan was a part of the Chicago Bulls.

Mayweather is one of the most priced fighters in boxing history. Nicknamed ‘Money Mayweather’, the former world champion went through his entire career without suffering a single defeat in the ring. His dominance reigned for years before he decided to give the gloves a rest.

While on the Pivot Podcast, Mayweather spoke about his long career and how he has been a one-man army from Jordan’s basketball days to LeBron’s prime years.

Does Floyd Mayweather surpass LeBron James?

While speaking, Mayweather spoke about how he changed the way fighters are looked at and get paid. Furthermore, the star also said he respects athletes of all sports. However, he couldn’t undermine himself and said he has fought since Jordan’s playing days and is still undefeated now that James nears his career end.
