Floyd Mayweather has mastered the art of boxing, and despite witnessing several legends alongside, Mayweather has created his style that is arguably the best in the business. Boasting of 50 wins with 0 losses across 5 weight classes, Mayweather is seemingly invincible.

Moreover, Mayweather has never run away from competitions in his life. He has faced several World Champions in his career and has managed to emerge victorious in every professional challenge. So, he clearly deserves a lot of respect.

Floyd Mayweather’s boxing IQ- Is he the smartest boxer of all time?

Mayweather’s in-ring defense is one of the best as he can frustrate his rival quite easily. Without being aggressive, Mayweather can force a rival to the distance, making him miss out on several shots.

But it’s not all about his reflexes. His shoulder roll movements help distract the opponent and restrict them from targeting Money’s face. While it also has some reflexive features, most of the credit goes to his fighting techniques.

Floyd Mayweather is one of the smartest boxers inside the ring. He has never lost his calm or rushed in for a win. Recording 27 wins via KO and 23 with the decision, Mayweather never let his perfect record crumble. That said, Mayweather’s defensive features can be considered a specimen that the future generation will study.

Meanwhile, he is also a smart man off-canvas. A successful promoter and one of the richest athletes in the game, Mayweather has been able to achieve all this due to prudence in business decisions.

In 2006, he parted ways with Top Rank Promotions for his own company. That’s when Mayweather Promotions came to the limelight.
