And it can even be said that his iconic performances might even have catapulted him to the pedestal as one of the demigods of the sport. When he retired from professional boxing in the year 2017, fans knew that he couldn’t stay away from the ring for too long. Mayweather quickly followed through by becoming the crown prince of exhibition boxing.
