When you hear the name "Mayweather",
only one thing springs to mind-- boxing. The Mayweathers
are known for fighting—it’s in their blood,
in their genes. There’s Uncle Roger, now a trainer,
who was a world champion in the junior lightweight and super
lightweight divisions. There’s Uncle Jeff, who had
a long career as a top lightweight contender. There’s
Dad, Floyd, Sr., now a trainer, a feisty welterweight who
took Sugar Ray Leonard into the tenth round with a broken
hand. And there’s Floyd, Jr., who may be the most
talented Mayweather of all.
Since he was a boy, Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
was trained and managed by his Uncle Roger and his father
Floyd, Sr. In fact, according to Floyd, Jr., he was a quick
study--he started throwing punches in his crib. By the time
he was seven or eight years old, the gloves were on, and
the Mayweather family had another fighter.
Now, at only 25 years of age, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has
fought thirty times without a loss. He’s a two-time
world champion. He beat long-time Super Featherweight Champion
Genaro Hernandez in October 1998, and has held a world title
ever since. He is the current WBC Lightweight Champion,
at the top of a talent-rich division.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. will do whatever it
takes to win. He’ll fight in a variety of styles.
He can bang; he can box. He is one of the best defensive
fighters in the game—almost impossible to hit with
a clean shot. That’s why he’s called "Pretty
Boy", because he usually leaves the ring without a
mark on his face.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. rocketed out of the
1996 Olympics after winning the Bronze Medal. He won 13
of his first 15 pro fights by KO. He had his first title
less than two years after turning pro. But it wasn’t
until 2001 that "Pretty Boy" Floyd began to get
the recognition he truly deserved. In a risky defense of
his super featherweight title, he took on one of boxing’s
toughest power punchers, Diego Corrales. Corrales (33-0)
was coming off impressive knockouts over Derrick Gainer,
Justin Juuko and Angel Manfredy. He relinquished his title
for a shot at Mayweather’s. Shockingly, Corrales didn’t
come close. Floyd, Jr. took Corrales to school, knocking
him down five times en route to a tenth round TKO.
No one at super featherweight could touch
Mayweather. So in order to keep things interesting, Floyd,
Jr. went after bigger game. In 2002, he moved up to lightweight
to challenge champion Jose Luis Castillo. This was Mayweather’s
toughest fight. Castillo was the best 135-pounder in the
world, and he unloaded all he had against Floyd, Jr. But
even though he outlanded Mayweather, many of the punches
didn’t land clean, a tribute to Floyd’s brick
wall defense. Mayweather took a narrow, and hotly contested
decision. In the same year, he granted Castillo a rematch.
This time, Mayweather widened the margin of victory, proving
once and for all that he was king of the lightweights.
