Floyd Mayweather has beaten some of the best fighters to ever step into a boxing ring.
The boxing legend retired back in 2017 with a perfect record of 50-0, having defeated every challenger that ever came his way.
Arguably his two best ever wins came against Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez, with Mayweather defeating them comfortably on points.
The win over Pacquiao came in May 2015 and remains the fight with the most ever PPV buys, even though most fans felt it came several years too late. Mayweather had defeated Canelo 18 months earlier in September 2013, becoming the first fighter to beat the Mexican.
Reflecting on the wins over both men whilst on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game Podcast, Mayweather felt that Pacquiao was the better of the two and the best he’s faced.
“It’s because of his movement. He’s a hell of a fighter, and I can see why he won so many fights, and I can see why he’s going down as a Hall of Famer. It’s just certain moves he makes.”
While he may have been respectful there, Mayweather has also admitted that both victories were easy, beginning with his take on the Pacquiao fight.
“He got famous because they said this could be the guy that could possibly dethrone the king. Did it happen? Absolutely not. Was it easy? Absolutely.”
Mayweather then took aim at Canelo and again stated that the win was easy.
“You can take a guy like Canelo. I’ll tell the truth about Canelo. The mo**erf**ker was easy. A cakewalk, easy. You’re all praising this dude. He was nothing. I was almost 40 and I cooked this dude, easy.”
While Mayweather may have retired undefeated, that hasn’t stopped Top Rank CEO Bob Arum from naming the current fighter that he feels would have defeated the boxing legend in his prime.
