Floyd Mayweather's 49th fight. Undefeated world boxing champions. Pichit fought all his fights only in Thailand

A record in professional boxing is always looked at, especially when the fan knows nothing about the boxer and judges him solely based on the numbers on his record. Very often, records do not correspond to the level of its owner, but, nevertheless, the magic of numbers is fascinating and even if the guy is nothing special, but he has some kind of interesting record, then some attention will be focused on him.

We present to your attention such a pound-for-pound record in the history of professional boxing.

1. Vaenhong Menayothin

Record: 51-0, 18 KOs

Years of performance: 2007-

2. Floyd Mayweather

Record: 50-0, 27 KOs

From childhood, Floyd was a perfectionist. “I went to school and there I was only thinking about how to prevent mistakes in the gym that evening,” recalled Mayweather, who, in 50 fights, professional ring went from world champion in junior lightweight to world champion in junior middleweight. He actually made few mistakes in the ring during his career. However, his 50th anniversary victory was a farce as he entered the ring against MMA fighter Conor McGregor, who had no competitive boxing experience at all.

Marciano only took up boxing at the age of 23, having failed to make a career as a baseball player, and although he was not at all tall for a heavyweight (179 cm), he managed to work his way to the top with his granite chin, huge heart and his right hand Suzy Q. He retired undefeated, the reason for his departure, according to his brother Peter, being that "he had reached such a height that he no longer had the motivation to train the way he used to."

4. Ricardo Lopez

Record: 51-0-1, 38 KOs

Years of performance: 1985-2001

5. Joe Calzaghe

Record: 46-0, 32 KOs

In the summer of 1990, a teenage Calzaghe burst into tears after losing in the quarter-finals of the European junior champion in Prague. He swore that he would never lose again and kept his word. He was the world super middleweight champion for more than ten years. The zero in the defeat column meant a lot to the Welsh left-hander.

On September 12, the famous American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. won last Stand in his career over compatriot Andre Berto and repeated the record of American Rocky Marciano - 49 victories in 49 fights.

Afterwards the American announced that next fight will be the last of his career. After the conclusion of the fight with Berto, Mayweather confirmed this statement.

“My career is over. You need to know when to hang up your gloves. Now is my time to do it. I spent 19 years in boxing, and 18 of them I was a champion. I have nothing left to prove in boxing. I am financially secure and my health is in good condition. I’m looking forward to seeing someone who will break all my records,” RIA Novosti quotes Mayweather.

Note that Mayweather is the highest paid boxer of all time. And in May of this year, he admitted that the goal of his career was a nine-figure fee for the fight.

The name Floyd Mayweather is pronounced with aspiration in and around the sports world. It's no joke, by 2018 the boxer had fought 50 fights and never lost. It is not for nothing that the athlete bears the nickname Money - he earns more than all the celebrities, but he has never learned how to manage the millions he got with his sweat and blood.

Childhood and youth

The world's greatest boxer, Floyd Mayweather Jr., belongs to a dynasty of outstanding athletes. He was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan on February 24, 1977. His father once reached the final of the World Boxing Championship, competed with Ray Leonard, and one of his father’s brothers, Roger, achieved the title of the strongest in the world. Therefore, no one was surprised that the boy chose this sport as a profession.

In order to attend training, Floyd dropped out of school. The future star was forced to make this decision by the poverty of her family: her father left home, and her mother and her children were forced to vegetate in a small room.

Floyd Mayweather began his amateur career in 1993. For three years in a row he won the main semi-professional prize, the Golden Gloves. During this short period of time, the young boxer fought 90 fights and lost only 6 of them. The promising fighter skillfully dodged blows to his face, and his face was never cut. Therefore, his colleagues in the ring began to call him Handsome, and this nickname stuck with him.

Floyd made his debut on the international stage at Olympic Games ah in Atlanta, where he took 3rd place.

Boxing

Floyd's first fight in the small weight category was a competition with fellow ring newcomer Roberto Apodaca. After that, over the course of 2 years, May fought more than 15 fights, which most often ended with a knockout. With a height of 173 cm, Floyd initially weighed quite little - 60 kg. During his career, the fighter constantly moved from category to category, changing 5 weight groups.

Floyd Mayweather immediately developed a special type of fight - not very spectacular, but very effective, which allowed him to regularly become a winner.

At the age of 21, having met at a tournament with a difficult titled opponent Genaro Chicanito Hernandez, Floyd Mayweather unexpectedly knocked him out and became the WBC world champion. The authoritative publication “Ring” named Floyd the discovery of the year. He confirmed this title four more times - in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

The most best fights During this period, meetings with Arturo Gatti, Zaba Judah, who almost beat the young fighter, Ricky Hatton and Victor Ortiz are considered.

In September 2013, the WBAsuper, WBC and Ring titles were played between Mayweather. Alvarez lost for the first time in his career, and the judge who ruled it a draw later resigned. According to tabloid estimates, Floyd received $75 million for his victory over the Mexican.

One of the tense moments in Mayweather’s career can be considered his fight with Marcos Maidana, in which the champion almost missed the chance and lost. In the 2014 fight, Floyd Mayweather missed the most punches from his opponent, but won in technical accuracy.

During the same period, the boxing star struck up a friendship with a young pop singer. The singer, according to the producers, needed to gain brutality, and training with an invincible boxer should have helped him. For this purpose, a meeting was arranged with Floyd, who became the young Canadian’s boxing coach.

In 2015, on the third attempt, the fight between Mayweather and the Filipino took place. Boxers competed at the tournament for the title of the strongest, regardless of weight category, for titles of 3 professional associations and a prize from Golden Boy Promotions, headed by Oscar de la Hoya.

Floyd received $210 million for the fight, some sources claim that all of $280 million.

The bookmakers unanimously bet on Mayweather to win and they were not mistaken. After Pacquiao fight stated that he was fighting with an injured shoulder, and the organizers prohibited giving an anesthetic injection in order to maintain doping purity.

Having held a victorious 49th meeting with compatriot Andre Berto, the boxer repeated the record for the number of unbeaten tournaments. A year later, managers began negotiations with some boxing stars with whom Floyd had never fought in the ring.

Since the beginning of 2016, rumors began to leak into the press about preparations for a meeting with the Irishman and with the Kazakh athlete. And if the final decision on holding a fight with the Kazakhstani has not yet been made, then the fight with McGregor, scheduled for August 26, 2017 in Las Vegas, became the main event of the year.

Heated press conferences with mutual insults and promises to tear each other apart fueled public interest.

At that time, Mayweather’s fortune was estimated at $765 million. Floyd accepted Conor’s challenge, commenting on the decision by saying that he was not a fool to refuse the opportunity to earn $300 million in half an hour. The American received a third of this amount guaranteed. Fans of exact numbers immediately calculated that for each of the 1685 seconds spent in the ring, Floyd replenished his bank account with $178,041.

The Irishman, in his characteristic manner, promised to beat 40-year-old Mayweather in the second round at every meeting with journalists, not skimping on his expressions and threats. However, as practice has shown, the Irish showman's talent turned out to be a level higher than that of boxing. In the 10th round, Mayweather knocked out the cocky McGregor, winning the fight of the century.

UFC fighter Nate Diaz gave his colleague only 2-3 rounds. The Russian, then breathing down McGregor’s neck, considered a fight between a boxer and a mixed arts fighter to be humiliating for both sports,

“because boxing fans mostly don’t know the sport. If Floyd wins, they will say that MMA is, of course, inferior to boxing. If such a star loses, it’s bad for the image of boxing.”

The legendary said that his colleague is clearly superior to Conor in the ring, and such competition is unfair. After the end of the fight, Mayweather announced his retirement. He left on a high, having defeated the strongest in MMA.

Personal life

In his personal life, Floyd Mayweather adheres to the principle of freedom. The boxer never formalized an official relationship with any of his many girls. Despite this, he has four children from two different girlfriends. From his last common-law wife, Josie Harris, with whom the athlete lived for about 10 years, two sons were born, Coraun and Zion, and a daughter, Jira.

The children of the boxing king (although it is not said which ones) live in Las Vegas, in a mansion with an area of ​​2 thousand square meters. m, with 7 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms. In 2011, Mayweather purchased a penthouse in Miami for $1.5 million, and every 2 years he completely changes the situation there.

Often the fighter’s girls complained about their friend’s aggressiveness. In 2012, the police received a statement from Josie Harris, who at that time had already broken up with Floyd. The incident took place in a woman's house, where Mayweather broke into without permission and beat her in front of his own children. The court punished the athlete with a suspended sentence, a fine and an obligation not to come close to Josie's house.

In 2013, Chantel Jackson almost became the champion’s wife. Floyd proposed with a $10 million diamond ring, but broke off the engagement when he learned that the bride had secretly had an abortion to get rid of twins. The girl claimed that she was the first to break off the relationship. Mayweather allegedly took away the ring at gunpoint, morally humiliated him and divulged secrets privacy.

Now the boxer is dating masseuse Doralee Medina, who is 8 years younger than him. So far, the girl is happy with her boyfriend’s behavior: Floyd bought his beloved a mansion for $25 million, and for her birthday he gave her a Rolls Royce Ghost for $250 thousand.

In Russia, Floyd Mayweather is popular among fans. He repeatedly visited the capital of the Russian Federation and even signed a contract in 2015 with Russian partner Timofey Kurgin to open the Floyd Mayweather Boxing Academy.

At the presentation, the athlete gave a big press conference, held boxing master classes, and also attended the “Evening Urgant” show. The boxer said that to expand the business, he is ready to invest in other joint projects.

Floyd's business acumen cannot be denied. Back in 2006, the fighter did not spare $750 thousand to change the contract and become a free agent. Mayweather founded his own company and stopped sharing fees with third-party promoters, but he does not skimp on spending on himself and for his loved ones.

Floyd Mayweather, according to Forbes magazine, has been the richest boxer in the world since 2012. In 2010, the athlete's income was $60 million per year. On this moment The celebrity's net worth is estimated at more than $1 billion.

The boxer can often be seen surrounded by strippers, lovers of a luxurious life, with whom he spends his free time. IN "Instagram" Photos are shown of Floyd Mayweather holding wads of money.

There are over 88 cars in the fleet, of which only 14 are Rolls-Royces. For an oil change in the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, which he bought in 2015 for $3.5 million, Floyd doesn’t mind $20 thousand. A diamond-coated carbon supercar Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita for $5 million and a Gulfstream jet for $35 million, of course , belong to Handsome.

A stern man has a weakness for jewelry. His favorite item in the collection is a Hublot watch worth $1 million. And the paparazzi caught Floyd buying Hermes bags for $400 thousand. For his daughter’s 16th birthday, the generous father invited rappers Drake and Future.

Such ostentatious life does not lead to good. At the beginning of 2017, Floyd suffered an unpleasant event. While celebrating his 40th birthday, Floyd Mayweather left home for several days. Arriving back, he discovered that the mansion had been robbed. The thieves stole more than $150,000 worth of valuables.

Floyd Mayweather now

Autumn 2018 sports biography Mayweather's undefeated run continued. Floyd accepted the fight from Khabib Nurmagomedov, but set the condition that the fight would take place not in the octagon, but in the ring. As Soviet Sport noted,

“For the sake of hype, Nurmagomedov’s confrontation with either a Himalayan bear or a representative of an extraterrestrial civilization can be promoted. Mayweather is the only figure in the world of martial arts who can bring in even more money than McGregor."

By the way, Floyd expects to receive $200 million for the fight with the Russian. As a result, the boxer can be considered invincible among athletes in terms of earning money.
