Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s early career highlights

Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired from boxing in 2015 with a record of 49-0. He returned in 2017 for a fight with UFC star Conor McGregor, which he won via a 10th-round TKO.

Mayweather has an amateur record of 84-8 and was infamously robbed of a decision at the 1996 Olympic Games. He turned professional the same year and won his debut fight, against Roberto Apodaca, by TKO.

Two years and 17 fights later, Mayweather challenged WBC Super Featherweight Champion Genaro Hernández for his belt. In the eight round, Hernández's corner threw in the towel and Mayweather won by TKO. His finest fight at Super Featherweight was likely his bout with the late great Diego 'Chico' Corrales in 2001. Mayweather won the fight via TKO after dropping his opponent five times.

After moving up to lightweight, 'Pretty Boy' won two great fights with José Luis Castillo. After a close, disputed victory in the first bout, Mayweather agreed to a rematch in which he definitively beat Castillo.

In 2004, he moved up to welterweight. The following year, he challenged Arturo Gatti for his WBC Title. In a stunning display, he wore the Italian-Canadian down and won a TKO victory in the sixth round.

The Michigan-born fighter then faced IBF Welterweight Champion Zab Judah. Judah, often ranked among the best boxers of his era, hit Mayweather with a low-blow in the 10th round. Mayweather's uncle entered the ring, resulting in a minor brawl. After he was ejected, the fight continued and Mayweather won a unanimous decision.
