When interviewing mayweather, the world boxing champion of the first five levels, an espn reporter asked Mayweather who are the 5 greatest boxers in the history of boxing? Let Mayweather say the list in mind. As a result, Mayweather did not hesitate to say 5 people, it is worth mentioning that he actually put himself in the first place, and even did not let go of it, said that he was the first in history.
In fact, it is normal that Mayweather always considers herself the best boxer of all time, the best ever, and the mark on Mayweather's private jet.
Mayweather mentioned himself in the third person, and Mayweather said: "Mayweather has achieved more brilliantly than other boxers in less time. The win rate is highest, with the fewest heavy punches. He has won 18 world titles in 5 different classes. ”
Mayweather was nicknamed Pretty Boy in his early days, and later changed his nickname to Money. He began his professional boxing career in 1996, and after beating UFC superstar Connor McGregor in 2017, he had a perfect record of 50 wins, 0 losses and 27 ko.
Mayweather, a 44-year-old boxing superstar from Michigan, has won 15 world titles in a 21-year career and beaten big names including Oscar de la Joa, Richie Hatton and Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather is also superb in boxing history, earning $1 billion, the third person to continue after Jordan and Woods. This is also the capital that Mayweather is proud of. Mayweather always believes that he is the first in history, so it is also a matter of course to rank himself first.
Mayweather ignored boxing legends Shugar Ray Robinson, Joe Luiz and Rocky Marciano, while placing Panama's legendary boxing champion Robert Duran in second place, following him. Regarding Duran, one of the four kings of the middleweights in the 1980s, Mayweather said: "Duran is second, he is the champion of the four classes from the lightweight to the 160-pound middleweight, I like this guy, he is legendary. ”
Duran once defeated Shug Ray Leonard, and with a height of only 1.7 meters and an arm span of 1.68 meters, he was very inferior among the four kings, his heavy punches were very fierce, advocating offense, and indeed a boxing legend. Mayweather may like escalating boxers, so she put Duran in second place, which is already a high status.
Mayweather put boxing defense guru "Sweet Pea" Pinel Vitak third, and speaking of Vitalk, Mayweather added: "Vitalk is really a legend, I think he really beat Chávez, but the match was declared a draw. He did beat my uncle Roger twice. ”
Vitarch is a defensive counter-attacking technologist whose defense and dodging are simply fascinating, and his movements are so dashing and gorgeous that even Mayweather can't match it. Vitalak also once knocked down Hoya at his peak, and eventually lost the point. Unfortunately, in July 2019, Vitak was killed in a car accident.
The fourth in Mayweather's eyes is the famous Mexican god of war, Julio César Chavez, who, as the most famous boxing king of the last century, does represent a positive spirit of hard work. The reputation of the God of War is not a waste of time. Chavez once maintained a perfect record of 79 wins, almost as if it were invincible.
Mayweather said: "Chavez has maintained a perfect record of 79 wins and 0 losses, and has achieved the title of World Champion in 3 levels. ”
Mayweather ranked Muhammad Ali fifth, and Mayweather said: "Alli, only in the heavyweights class, really lost to Ken Norton three times. The great contribution he made was that he fought for their Negroes in a time when African-Americans did not represent their people. ”
It can be seen that Mayweather only regards Ali's achievements outside the ring as a great thing, and within the ring it is average. This is a list of the five top boxers in Mayweather's mind. It can be seen that he cares more about the king of multiple levels, and he is very cold to the world boxing king of one level.
Unfortunately, heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson did not make the list. Maybe Mayweather is jealous or looks down on Tyson from the bottom of his heart, they're not a level, not a type, not a style, maybe Tyson is more famous than Mayweather, so Mayweather always doesn't put Tyson in a very high position. He ranked this time, and there was nothing Tyson had to do. I wonder what you think of Mayweather's ranking? Welcome to leave a message, forward and follow. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
