The reason why the world champion "Money" Floyd Mayweather Jr. of the first 5 levels can have a perfect record of 50 unbeaten games is not only directly related to his superb boxing skills, but also inseparable from his super endurance and ability to resist. It's also a capital that Mayweather often hisses about. As the saying goes, people have missed horses and hooves, and Mayweather is not smooth sailing.
Mayweather has played dozens of games, large and small, and there are actually some dark moments, in which he has also encountered some obstacles, and some games have even nearly broken his undefeated golden body. Let's take stock of these 6 stories and see how many you know.
In May 2001, Mayweather was the WBC Super Featherweight Boxing Champion, facing the challenger Hernandez, resulting in Mayweather hitting the opponent's head after a heavy punch, but he did not expect that Mayweather's right hand was injured, the pain was unbearable, and he immediately bent down to touch the ground, and the referee gave him seconds. It was also the only time Mayweather's career was read in seconds.
Of course, in the end, Mayweather beat Hernandez on points and successfully defended the title.
In 2002, Mayweather challenged the then WBC lightweight boxing champion Mexico's Castillo, and the two fought 2 games, a total of 24 rounds, especially a battle, Mayweather fell behind in points, but was judged to be the winner. The match was so controversial that it was widely accepted that Mayweather had lost the match, but Mayweather had the advantage of the home field.
Mayweather was chased by Castillo's heavy punches, and indeed it was not victorious.
In April 2006, Mayweather and Juda had a super battle, and in the 2nd round, Mayweather received a heavy punch from Juda, touching the ground with his back hand, and the referee did not see it, or turned a blind eye, in short, did not read Mayweather seconds. Supposedly it was an undisputed knockdown and should be given a second read to Mayweather.
Juda was also the only one who could actually knock out Mayweather.
In May 2007, Mayweather and Hoa had a big fight, which was also a very difficult game in Maywea's career, Mayweather was hit by Hoa's overwhelming combination of punches, although most of the fists were dodged and defused by him, but Mayweather was also awkward enough, even stretched, and finally only defeated Hoa with controversial points.
In May 2010, Mayweather faced a challenge from Mosley. At that time, Mosley KO Magarito, the momentum was fierce. It turned out to be really unexpected, Mosley actually almost KO Mayweather in the 2nd round, the heavy punch of his right hand hit Mayweather's jaw twice, making Mayweather's legs weak and almost falling to the ground. Just a little bit.
It has to be said that this is the closest game to mayweather being KO, and mayweather really owes him his super resistance and good physical flexibility. Still looking back, Mayweather may have a lingering feeling.
In 2014, Mayweather fought Argentina's heavy gunner Medana twice, and in these two matches, similar to the two matches between Mayweather and Castillo, Mayweather suffered a lot and was almost defeated by Medana. Although Mayweather eventually won the game, it was absolutely difficult and the point advantage was not large.
The above is the 6 difficult past of Mayweather's career, each time it is close to defeating Mayweather, but each time it has failed, and it has to be said that it is really too difficult to beat Mayweather. Mayweather is indeed a wonderful flower in the boxing world. In the end, Mayweather retired with an unbeaten record of 50 games, in fact, in the minds of many people, his unbeaten record has long been cracked, isn't it? 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
