Floyd Joy Mayweather, Jr. (born Floyd Joy Sinclair on February 24, 1977), is a professional American boxer who has a record of 39-0 (25 KOs or TKOs). He is the son of Floyd Mayweather Sr., a former welterweight boxing contender. Outside the ring Mayweather flaunts his wealth and lavish lifestyle, often referring to his $1.2 million collection of jewelry.
Since July 18, 2005, he has been rated by The Ring magazine as the number-one pound for pound boxer in the world. Mayweather has won six world boxing championships in five different weight classes; he is the current WBC welterweight champion. He was named Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year in 1998 and 2007. In his last bout, he defeated Ricky Hatton at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas in a highly anticipated match on December 8, 2007, by way of a 10th round TKO. Mayweather is currently working on a rematch with Oscar De La Hoya to take place September 20, 2008.
Mayweather was also well known for competing on the fifth season of Dancing with the Stars where he was the fourth celebrity eliminated from the competition. He also recently performed for World Wrestling Entertainment, competing in a Pro Wrestling bout at WrestleMania 24.
Mayweather decided to relinquish his WBC junior middleweight championship and kept his WBC welterweight championship. On July 28, 2007, it was announced that Mayweather would come out of his short retirement to fight light welterweight champion Ricky Hatton which was promoted by Oscar De La Hoya's promotion company Golden Boy Promotions and Floyd Mayweather's "Mayweather Promotions." The bout was labelled "Undefeated" and took place on December 8, 2007, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada. In the build up to their fight, Mayweather claimed that he is the greatest boxer ever, saying: "I respect what Robinson and Ali did for the sport. But I am the greatest, and this is my time."
After the fight, Mayweather said that Hatton was one of the toughest fighters he had ever fought, that he just kept coming and coming. Mayweather later announced that he will take a two-year layoff from boxing.He then referred to the punch that knocked Hatton out as the check hook. The greatest punch in the world of boxing.
He is currently in the works for a rematch against Oscar De la Hoya, this time having his father to train De la Hoya. Although many boxing experts advise De la Hoya not to take the fight, he will try to overcome the odds and defeat Mayweather.
