Known for his impregnable defense and high fight IQ, Floyd Mayweather went on to rule the boxing scene for almost two decades and won fifteen major world titles during his undefeated professional run.

Floyd Mayweather is set to make a comeback against YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Logan Paul (0-1 Boxing) in an exhibition boxing match on June 6, 2021, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.
According to a statement from Florida State Boxing Commission, no winner will be announced at the end of the fight, which will have eight five-minute rounds. However, knockouts are not prohibited and the referee will reserve the right to stop the contest at any given moment.
Despite giving away a significant amount in size and reach to the much younger Logan Paul, Floyd Mayweather is a -900 betting favorite heading into the fight due to the skill differential.
