Professional boxers debate Floyd Mayweather legacy

Overview

Professional boxers have engaged in debates regarding the legacy and career achievements of Floyd Mayweather.

Shane Mosley challenged the validity of Mayweather’s undefeated record, specifically questioning the official scoring of the 2015 unanimous decision victory over Manny Pacquiao. Mosley suggested that Pacquiao outworked the champion and remarked, “I knew Manny threw way more punches than Floyd, and then they had Floyd throwing more punches than Manny so I figured they had the card switched or something.”

Other fighters have also weighed in on Mayweather’s standing. Ryan Garcia participated in a discussion regarding a hypothetical matchup between Mayweather and Tommy Hearns, selecting Hearns as the winner. Additionally, Zab Judah expressed his belief that he should have defeated Mayweather during their 2006 IBF world welterweight title fight, noting that Mayweather took significant risks early in the match.
