Floyd Mayweather Jr., the undefeated boxing champion, last competed in a professional exhibition against John Gotti III on August 24, 2024, in Mexico City, a bout officially declared a no-contest, according to boxing statistics aggregator Box.Live.
Mayweather, 49, boasts a professional record of 50 wins, zero losses, and zero draws, a feat solidified over a 29-year and 4-month career that began in October 1996. His dominance spans five weight classes – super featherweight, lightweight, light welterweight, welterweight, and light middleweight – and includes 15 major world championships. BoxRec, as of July 2025, ranks him the third greatest boxer of all time, pound for pound.
While Mayweather’s undefeated record is a cornerstone of his legacy, the nature of his victories, and the caliber of opponents faced, have often been a subject of debate. His career is marked by a strategic approach, often prioritizing defense and counter-punching, which some critics have characterized as cautious. This style, while undeniably effective in preserving his unblemished record, has led to accusations of “boring” fights, particularly in later stages of his career.
Mayweather’s success isn’t solely attributable to defensive prowess. He secured 27 wins by knockout, representing 54% of his victories. Yet, the transition to exhibition bouts, beginning after his official retirement in August 2017, has seen him engage in contests with opponents from different combat sports backgrounds, including MMA fighters and social media personalities. His November 13, 2022, victory over Oladeji Daniel Olatunji “Deji” by knockout in the sixth round, and his September 24, 2022, TKO win against Mikuru Asakura, exemplify this shift. These exhibitions, while financially lucrative, have further fueled the debate surrounding the competitive level of his opponents.
The boxer’s reach of 72 inches (183 cm) and orthodox stance have been consistent throughout his career. He has boxed a total of 397 professional rounds, averaging 7.9 rounds per fight. TrillerTV hosts video highlights of some of Mayweather’s most notable fights, including his victories over Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Álvarez.
Despite his retirement from professional boxing, Mayweather remains a prominent figure in the sport, and speculation continues regarding potential future bouts. Names frequently mentioned as possible opponents include Logan Paul, Conor McGregor, Victor Ortiz, and Jake Paul, according to Box.Live. His last five fights have occurred over a period of 2 years, 3 months, and 3 days, averaging approximately one fight every 5 months and 14 days.
