Boxing in the 21st century is a playground for many big names, making this sport more and more crowded. However, to call who is the real king of this sport, there are not many worthy names. Among these few names, the one who is truly recognized as the king, the sole ruler of the boxing sport can only be Floyd Mayweather. 

NEAR DEATH AT 1 YEAR OLD

Faced with imminent death, Mr. Mayweather Sr. quickly used his little son as a shield. “If you want to 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 me, 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 my son too .” Mayweather’s father placed the boy in front of his legs and said to Mr. Baboon. A dry gunshot rang out. The bullet from the gun hit Mr. Mayweather Sr.’s left thigh.

“I don’t remember him taking me anywhere, doing the things that fathers do with their sons, like going to the park, watching movies, or getting ice cream. I used to think he liked his daughter more than me. She never got beaten, but I got beaten often.”

He trained tirelessly, punching punching bags, fighting invisible opponents, lifting weights and turning any other kids his age who didn’t suit him into… his army. Once, when young Mayweather wondered about his future, his grandmother replied: “If you don’t box, you’ll starve!”  Realizing that life must take place in the ring, young Mayweather went to the famous Tawsi and Pride Gyms to train.

THE PATH OF THE CONQUEROR

KING MIDAS OF BOXING

That makes Floyd a thorn in the side of many people. However, the criticism and ridicule that many people have for Mayweather seem to have no effect on this arrogant boxer. He once said:  “This life is Mayweather’s. I want to live the way I want, not the way people want me to.”
