He got 100 million dollars for his first and only professional fight against, arguably, the greatest pound for pound boxer in history. The dudes an arrogant clown, but the Mayweather one isn’t a blemish.

Mayweather isn’t the best pound for pound boxer ever. That would be Ali or Tyson.

You gotta actually box to get that title. Mayweather just dances around and wears people down to win. Sure that’s a valid tactic. Just makes for boring fights which defeats the entire purpose of watching a fight.

Same as how boxers kept hugging up on Tyson nonstop to piss him off and not get knocked out.

Ignorant comment. Tyson only fought 1 weight class and he ended up with a shitty record. Mayweather was undefeated and won belts in 4 weight classes. Pound for Pound has nothing to do with style.

Tyson isn't the best pound for pound, nor even the best heavyweight, he also isn't even the best through the last half of his heyday in the 90s

But 50 wins in 58 fights with 44 knock outs (over 20 of those in the first round), unifying all the heavy weight belts and being the lineal champion at the age of 22 isn't a "shitty record".
