Floyd Mayweather : Related Information

Floyd Joy Mayweather, Jr. is an American professional boxer. Floyd Mayweather (birth-name: Floyd Sinclair) was born on 24 February 1977 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, US. Floyd Mayweather is undefeated with 40 wins including 25 by knockout. Floyd Mayweather is also nicknamed as Money Mayweather and Pretty Boy.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is the son of Floyd Mayweather, Sr., a former welterweight boxing contender. From 18 July 2005 through 2 June 2 2008, Floyd Mayweather was rated by The Ring magazine as the number-one pound for pound boxer in the world. Floyd Mayweather has won six world boxing championships in five different weight classes. Floyd Mayweather is the former WBC welterweight champion, a title he vacated upon his retirement. Floyd Mayweather was named Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year in 1998 and 2007. Floyd Mayweather is currently ranked number 2 pound for pound fighter.

Floyd Mayweather's father, Floyd Mayweather, Sr., is a former welterweight contender, while two of his uncles, Jeff Mayweather and Roger Mayweather, won championship titles. Floyd Mayweather had an amateur record of 84-6 and won national Golden Gloves championships in 1993 (at 106 lb), 1994 (at 114 lb), and 1996 (at 125 lb). Floyd Mayweather was given the nickname "Pretty Boy" by his amateur teammates because he had relatively few scars, a result of the defensive techniques that his father (Floyd Mayweather, Sr.) and uncle (Roger Mayweather) had taught him.

In his orthodox defensive stance, Floyd Mayweather—much like James Toney, often utilizes the 'shoulder roll'. The shoulder roll is an old-school boxing technique in which the right hand is held normally or slightly higher than normal, the left hand is down around the midsection, and the lead shoulder is raised high on the cheek in order to cover the chin and block punches. The right hand (from orthodox stance) is used as it normally would be to block punches coming from the other side, such as left hooks. From this stance, Floyd Mayweather blocks, slips, and deflects most of his opponents' punches, even when cornered, by twisting left and right to the rhythm of their punches.

Floyd Mayweather won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, by reaching the semi-finals of the featherweight (57 kg) division's 31-boxer tournament, losing to Serafim Todorov of Bulgaria, in a controversial decision.

Super Featherweight

Floyd Mayweather fought his first professional bout on 11 October 1996 against fellow newcomer Roberto Apodaca who was knocked out in round 2. Floyd Mayweather's trainer at the time was his uncle, Roger Mayweather, because Floyd Mayweather, Sr. was still imprisoned after having been convicted of illegal drug trafficking in 1993. Floyd Mayweather, Sr. took over as Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s trainer when he was released from prison (after Floyd Mayweather, Jr.'s fourteenth fight, a second-round knockout of Sam Girard). From 1996 to early 1998, Floyd Floyd Mayweather won most of his fights by knockout or TKO.

Floyd Mayweather won his first world title in 1999, the WBC junior lightweight (130 lb) championship, when the corner of Genaro Hernandez stopped the fight after round 8. Floyd Mayweather defended his title with performances against contenders such as Angel Manfredy and Carlos Gerena. Floyd Mayweather's biggest fight as a junior lightweight was on 20 January 2001, against Diego Corrales which Mayweather won after dealing five knock downs to his opponent.

In Floyd Mayweather's next bout on 26 May 2001, future IBF champion Carlos "Famoso" Hernández knocked down Mayweather for the first time; but Floyd Mayweather won the fight by unanimous decision. Floyd Mayweather's last fight in the junior lightweight division was against future junior lightweight and lightweight champion Jesús Chávez, which Mayweather won in 9th round. It was Floyd Mayweather's eighth defense of the WBC junior lightweight title, which he had held for more than three years.

Lightweight

Floyd Mayweather moved up to the lightweight (135 lb) divisionIn in 2002. Floyd Mayweather fought only four bouts at this weight, but they were all world championship fights. Floyd Mayweather won two bouts for the WBC and The Ring lightweight belts against José Luis Castillo. In their first bout, José Luis Castillo had success when he cut off the ring and used his strength to wear down Floyd Mayweather. But it was not enough to make up for José Luis Castillo's slow start in the fight. Floyd Mayweather won by unanimous decision, despite many analysts and fans feeling that Mayweather should have lost the fight. In the rematch, Floyd Mayweather used his quick footwork and combinations to coast to another unanimous decision victory, this time with no controversy.

Floyd Mayweather dominated the Dominican Victoriano Sosa on 19 April 2003, and won by unanimous decision. Floyd Mayweather's next fight was on 1 November 2003, in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Floyd Mayweather fought against the promising South African knockout specialist Phillip Ndou, whose record was 31-1 with 30 KOs. Floyd Mayweather defeated Phillip Ndou in round 7 dealing a TKO.

Junior Welterweight

Floyd Mayweather then moved up to the junior welterweight (140 lb) division. Floyd Mayweather's first fight in this division was against southpaw DeMarcus Corley. Floyd Mayweather knocked down DeMarcus Corley in rounds 8 and 10, and won by unanimous decision. On 22 January 2005, Floyd Mayweather fought against Henry Bruseles of Puerto Rico in a WBC junior welterweight title eliminator bout. Floyd Mayweather knocked down Bruseles twice in round 8, and the fight was stopped.

The win over Henry Bruseles made Mayweather the mandatory challenger for Arturo Gatti's WBC Super Lightweight Championship. The pay-per-view fight occurred on June 25, 2005 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Near the end of round 1, Mayweather pushed Arturo Gatti's head down in close and the referee instructed the fighters to "Stop punching". Arturo Gatti broke and left himself vulnerable while Floyd Mayweather continued to land punches, resulting in a knock down. Mayweather dominated throughout the next five rounds, and Arturo Gatti's corner stopped the fight after round 6, giving Mayweather his third world title. Among many boxing experts, Mayweather's one-sided dominance over Gatti, solidified Floyd Mayweather's position as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

Welterweight

Floyd Mayweather won a non-title bout at 147 lb (67 kg) against welterweight Sharmba Mitchell, on 19 November 19 2005 in round 6. Floyd Mayweather defeated Zab Judah for the IBF and vacant IBO world welterweight titles by unanimous decision, on 8 April 8 2006. Beforehand, the fight had been jeopardized after Zab Judah lost the WBA, WBC and Ring Magazine welterweight titles to Carlos Manuel Baldomir on 7 January 2006, but Mayweather's and Judah's camps reworked the contract and decided that the fight would go on. Mayweather won by the official scores of 116-112, 117-111, and 119-109. On 17 April 2006, the IBF ordered a rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Zab Judah, but the NSAC suspended Zab Judah for one year on 8 May 2006. Floyd Mayweather vacated the IBF title on 20 June 2006.

Floyd Mayweather decided to face WBC and The Ring welterweight champion Carlos Manuel Baldomir on 4 November 2006 in Las Vegas. Floyd Mayweather defeated Carlos Baldomir by unanimous decision for both titles and earned $8 million for the fight.

Super welterweight

Floyd Mayweather's next match was the long-anticipated superfight against six-division champion and current WBC Super Welterweight titleholder Oscar De La Hoya on 5 May 2007. Oscar De La Hoya's belt was on the line, which required Floyd Mayweather to move up in weight from 147 pounds to 154. Floyd Mayweather won by split decision in 12 rounds, capturing the World Boxing Council (WBC) title though most saw the fight as being fairly one-sided on his behalf.

Return to Welterweight

Fight with Ricky Hatton - Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton

Floyd Mayweather decided to relinquish his WBC junior middleweight championship and kept his WBC welterweight championship. On 28 July 2007, it was announced that Floyd Mayweather would come out of his short retirement to fight light welterweight champion Ricky Hatton.

The fight was labelled "Undefeated" and took place on 8 December 2007, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Floyd Mayweather controlled the fight from the very start. Ricky Hatton suffered a cut over his right eye in round three from the punches of Mayweather, and it seemed that it was at this point that his pace and movement began to slow. In round six, Ricky Hatton lost a point for punching the back of Floyd Mayweather's head as he was caught draped on the ropes. Floyd Mayweather had a huge eighth round, landing a number of clean, effective power shots. In the 10th round, Hatton was caught with a check left hook thrown from Mayweather's hip, fell forward head first into the turnbuckle and hit the deck. Ricky Hatton managed to make it to his feet, but was clearly dazed. Two more big lefts in a flurry put Ricky down again and Cortez stopped it at 1:35 of round 10. Floyd Mayweather knocked Ricky Hatton out in the 10th round to retain the welterweight championship.
