Floyd Mayweather shared the ring with a number of boxing icons throughout his illustrious career.
Mayweather is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time, hanging up his gloves with a perfect unbeaten record of 50-0.
He became a five-division world champion from super-featherweight to light middleweight during that time, defeating legends such as Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez over the years.
After a total of 26 world title fights, one man stands out for Mayweather as the best he ever fought, telling the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast that Pacquiao holds that honour.
“The best fighter I ever fought probably was Manny Pacquiao.
It’s because of his movement. He’s a hell of a fighter, and I can see why he won so many fights, and I can see why he’s going down as a Hall of Famer. It’s just certain moves he makes.”
After years of speculation, Mayweather and Pacquiao finally fought back in May 2015, with the American claiming a unanimous decision victory.
While ‘Pac-Man’ may have come up short in that bout, it is clear to see why Mayweather views the Filipino legend as his greatest ever opponent, as Pacquiao picked up world honours in a record eight divisions during his career.
He made a sensational return to the sport back in July at the age of 46 when he fought to a draw with WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios, and has actually been linked to a shock rematch against Mayweather in recent weeks.
