    Floyd Mayweather's career is defined by an unblemished 50-0 record, a feat unmatched in modern boxing. He is the only boxer to surpass Rocky Marciano's 49-0 mark. Mayweather has the most consecutive world title fight wins (26, tied with Joe Louis) and the highest plus-minus ratio in CompuBox history. He topped the Forbes highest-paid athlete list five times and generated the two highest-grossing pay-per-view events ever. The Ring named him the greatest boxer of the 21st century in 2025.
