Oscar De La Hoya achieved it all in boxing, and his talent became as clear as day when he poleaxed Floyd Mayweather’s uncle.

The Mexican-American is considered one of the most talented technical boxers to have ever graced the ring having won 11 world titles in six weight classes during his professional career.

The legendary champion touched gloves with some of the very best at the craft including Manny Pacquiao, Julio Cesar Chavez and Mayweather.

He came through to the professional ranks as a seriously talented prospect having won a gold medal for Team USA at the 1992 Olympic Games.

De La Hoya put together a four-fight win streak before coming up against a familiar face in Jeff Mayweather.

Mayweather was to become part of a legendary boxing dynasty which contains his 50-0 nephew Floyd.

But in his own career, he had a shared opponents with his nephew in De La Hoya against whom he fared significantly worse.Floyd Mayweather

Mayweather found himself on the back foot, but he was managing to keep him at bay largely despite taking some big shots.

But things took a sharp turn for the worse in the fourth round as De La Hoya upped the ante with some punishing shots.

He clipped him with a right hand before following up with a booming left hook, a one-two combination which left Mayweather flat on his back.

Luckily for Mayweather he survived the count, but was quickly a victim to a huge onslaught.

De La Hoya then let his hands go with battering shots landing regularly to the defenceless head of Mayweather.

And he crashed into the ropes as more relentless shots beat his face to a pulp, before the referee stepped in. Floyd Mayweather

He waved off the contest and spared Mayweather more punishment.

It was a bad moment for the veteran, who went on a three-fight losing streak.

Mayweather became a fighting regular but he failed to spark any significant route towards the level that De La Hoya reached.

He retired in 1997 but has gone on to train several champions including nephew Floyd and Sultan Ibragimov.

De La Hoya went on to achieve huge things in the sport, fighting nine times that year and winning them all in dominant fashion.

Floyd Mayweather, the highest-paid boxer in history, has shown off his 62 buildings in Manhattan that he purchased for $402 million, which include over 1,000 apartments.

In a video posted to his Instagram account, which has nearly 30 million followers, Mayweather said he bought the properties entirely on his own, without any business partners. The apartments, located in Morningside Heights, Upper Manhattan, and Harlem, will be rented out, potentially generating him millions of dollars per month.

“This is just the beginning,” he said.

In the video, the 48-year-old boxer walked past the buildings, pointing at each one. “This is mine. All the retail stores below these buildings are mine too. You can achieve this too, but you have to make bold moves,” he told viewers.

Born in 1977 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayweather began his professional boxing career in 1996. Over the course of his career, he fought 50 matches without a single loss, earning him the nickname “The Undefeated.” He won 15 world titles across five weight classes and is regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, according to Boxrec, a website that tracks professional and amateur boxing recordsFloyd Mayweather

Mayweather has earned $1.48 billion from fights and sponsorships, making him the highest-paid boxer in history, according to Sportico. He ranks among the top 10 highest-earning athletes ever, with Michael Jordan leading at $3.75 billion.

In the past, Mayweather has claimed that his real estate ventures alone could bring in up to $300 million per month. In November 2024, he invested $100 million with a partner in a $3 billion rental property portfolio. His primary focus remains on New York City, the most densely populated U.S. city and a global hub for culture, finance, and media.

Mayweather retired in 2017 but has since competed in exhibition matches, earning tens of millions per fight—sometimes over $100 million.

At 48, he is rumored to be planning a comeback this year, with possible opponents including Logan Paul, John Gotti III, or even former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand. However, his next fight has yet to be confirmed.

Floyd Mayweather has little doubt that he is the greatest fighter of all time. Three-weight world champion James Toney recently weighed in on the debate.

‘Money’ Mayweather famously retired with a perfect 50-0 record, winning belts in five divisions and becoming the sport’s biggest pay-per-view star while doing so.

With slick defence and an unwavering confidence, Mayweather beat the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, Arturo Gatti and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. He was well known for his effective shoulder roll technique – the defensive ability to catch, block and roll with shots from even the biggest punchers.

Despite the accolades, Toney – who claimed that Mayweather learnt that very style from him but could not do it as well – told the Wise Nuts podcast he was absolutely not the greatest of all time. Floyd Mayweather

‘Lights Out’ then criticised Mayweather’s record, claiming that he strategically avoided some big names.

“Have him fight in my era. He didn’t fight the fighters that were around in the ’90s. He waited till they retired and got out the game. He didn’t fight Chavez. He wouldn’t fight Chavez. He wouldn’t beat Chavez. Hatton was s**t. Garbage. He beat ‘Canelo,’ I’ll give him that.”

Mayweather hung up the gloves in 2017 after a crossover bout with Conor McGregor. He was named ‘Fighter of the Decade’ in the 2010s by the Boxing Writers Association of America.

He has since popped up on the exhibition scene, putting on shows across the globe to mixed responses, facing popular figures like Logan Paul, Deji Olatunji and Tenshin Nasukawa.

Who knew that the chance taken by Floyd Mayweather on one random day in 2015 would change the boxing world forever?

Signing a young, up-and-coming boxer by the name of Gervonta Davis with less than 10 fights under his belt was a risky move for Mayweather. However, it turned out to be one of the best investments that Money ever made.

The rise of the Baltimorean southpaw to the superstardom level is something else, and Floyd Mayweather played a huge role in it. However, in the last few years, things have not been so smooth between the pair ever since the split. The duo has been taking digs at each other on social media and on February 24, 2025, things took another weird turn.

As Pretty Boy was celebrating his 48th birthday, he received many birthday wishes and tributes. However, the post that stood out was of Gervonta Davis, who might have taken a shot at his former promoter. Tank posted a training video on his social media with the caption that read, “Life is better when you’re gone and I don’t need ya… #TheONE.” While the caption doesn’t explicitly mention Mayweather, the timing of the post has raised many eyebrows. With the speculations of a broken relationship again in circulation, let’s take a look at where it all went wrong.

As mentioned, Davis signed a deal with Mayweather Promotions in 2015 with legendary promoter Al Haymon by his side. It was a fruitful relationship that saw the Baltimore native go from being a rising prospect to a boxer with a 26-0 record. Davis also won three titles in two different weight categories during his time with the 50-0 boxer.

However, cracks started to appear in early 2017 when Gervonta Davis won his first world title. The boxing star accused ‘Money’ of unprofessional behavior and hogging the limelight. While the accusations continued, the pair remained in business together while being cordial.

However, the relationship completely collapsed in 2022, when Tank left ‘Money Team’ ahead of his fight against Rolando RomeroThe WBA lightweight champion made the announcement via the ‘Last Stand’ podcast, citing that he needs to take care of his career by himself. After 26 victories and three world titles, Davis realized that he was ready to move on and manage himself.

Ever since the split, the relationship between Mayweather and Davis has been like a mixed bag. Sometimes the pair take brutal digs at each other while other times it seems like everything is fine.

Tank made it clear that the split did not happen on good terms. He accused his former mentor of banning him from his gym to prepare for Ryan Garcia‘s fight. Given that it was and still is the biggest fight of Davis’s career, the betrayal must have hurt. However, the aftermath of the Garcia fight stated otherwise. After the Baltimorean successfully defeated KingRy via a seventh-round KO, Floyd Mayweather was inside the ring, embracing his former protégé. The incident made it seem like the pair had buried the hatchet.

Furthermore, both Davis and Mayweather made it clear multiple times that, despite the turbulence in their relationship, they both respect each other. Also during a conversation with FightHype, Gervonta Davis claimed that he is still open to working with Floyd Mayweather in the future. All these confessions made fans believe that despite their differences, the pair are still on respectable terms with each other.

However, then things went sour last year in April when Floyd Mayweather allegedly got held up in the UAE. Among those fueling rumors about Mayweather was Tank. He claimed that Mayweather was being held by the government because of a debt/financial crisis. The 30-year-old called his former mentor a “hater” while challenging the latter to go live on Instagram to show his whereabouts. As expected, Mayweather didn’t take it silently and replied with an image of himself in Dubai with the caption, “BREAKING NEWS FLOYD MAYWEATHER STUCK IN DUBAI.” It was indeed a playful jab at Davis.

Even after Davis’ cryptic post on Pretty Boy’s birthday, the latter posted an old sparring video featuring Davis and Devin Haney at his Mayweather gym in Las Vegas. All these back-and-forths have made it clear that the former mentor-protégé pair share a rather complex relationship. However, that should not undermine the role Mayweather has played in Gervonta Davis’ career.

The former five-division champion met Tank for the first time at one of Adrien Broner‘s training camps in 2015. There was an immediate spark, and the Marylander joined Mayweather Promotions later that year. His first major fight after signing with the promotion came in 2017 when he fought against Francisco Fonseca on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor undercard.

Many expected Tank’s career to fly from there. However, surprisingly, he only fought once in 2018, which even frustrated him. The Mayweather Promotions made up for it by giving Davis three fights in 2018 and 2019. Fans can only dream of seeing the WBA lightweight champion three times in a year. While the frequency of his fights decreased after 2019, the quality of the opponents increased significantly. In the next three years, Gervonta Davis fought some of the biggest names in boxing at the time.

The last three years in Mayweather Promotions made Gervonta Davis the star he is today. Furthermore, even though he left the promotion, Mayweather has always wished the best for his protégé. In an interview with Fight Hype after the split, the Pretty Boy declared, “I will always love Tank. I like him. Love him – look at him as a son. He has to do what’s best for him. I feel like I’ve done a great job thus far, building him and putting him in good fights, great fights. He’s steady growing, he’s steady learning. I’m proud of him.”

Even though their relationship is now broken, Mayweather’s role in Tank’s career remains undeniable.

Gervonta Davis’ power is scary.

His fast hands and skill have made him a frightening proposition, with nobody yet to beat him. He has also won 28 of his 30 fights via knockout and once turned one former world champion’s legs to jelly and made him quit in front of the great Floyd Mayweather.

As a teenager, Davis was an unstoppable force as he accumulated stoppage after stoppage.

The man known as Tank was also incredibly active as he fought six times in 2013, his first year as a professional.

His career then received a tremendous boost just two years later when Mayweather, widely considered to be one of the best in the modern era with a 50-0 record, took him under his wing.

Once he became a member of Mayweather Promotions, the spotlight intensified and the challenges in the ring became increasingly difficult for Davis.

One of those came in the form of former IBF featherweight world champion Cristobal Cruz in 2015.

At 38 years old, Cruz was evidently past his prime.

But it takes serious boxing IQ and nous to become a world champion and the Mexican felt he could call on all of his experience against the fearless Davis.

Unfortunately for Cruz, experience counted for little when Davis came firing with his lethal arsenal of punches.

In fact, the former champion was knocked down by the soon-to-be challenger with 50 seconds remaining in the first round.

Davis fired a powerful straight left that sent Cruz back into the ropes and onto the canvas, though was able to beat the count and continue.

Cruz ate several thudding shots from Davis in the second round, but there was little he could do when ‘Tank’ cranked up the power in the third.

The Mexican over-reached when he threw a jab midway through the third round and Davis’ eyes lit up.

Davis fired off a short left hand that rocked Cruz, so much so that he held his hands up and curled up on the floor.

Remarkably, Cruz beat the count and got to his feet.

However, when asked to walk to his left, the referee deemed he was unable to continue and subsequently waved off the fight.

Cruz was disappointed at the referee’s decision, but given the damage Davis had dished out within three rounds, a stoppage seemed inevitable.

Mayweather sat ringside for Davis’ three-round beatdown and went into the ring to celebrate his then-protege’s victory.

Since then he has become one of the lightweight division’s best fighters, holding on to the WBA belt since winning it in 2023. He is also a two-time super featherweight king, with notable wins over Leo Santa Cruz, Jose Pedraza and Mario Barrios.

Fast forward to today and Davis is preparing to defend his WBA strap against Lamont Roach in New York. However, the relationship between him and Mayweather is non-existent.

The pair amicably split in 2022 when Davis decided to leave Mayweather Promotions, but have engaged in a war of words since.

Their latest verbal spat came when Mayweather suggested fans should watch a UFC event instead of Davis’ fight against Frank Martin.

Davis responded by calling Mayweather a ‘bitter b****’ and mocked the news his right-hand man Leonard Ellerbe had stepped down from his role as CEO of Mayweather Promotions.

In the end, Martin was left sprawled on the canvas to pave the way for the Roach fight.

Many want to see him fight Shakur Stevenson after that in what could be Davis’ biggest fight since destroying Ryan Garcia in 2023.

Gervonta Davis was an established world champion but was still to emerge from Floyd Mayweather’s shadow when he flew to London to defend his IBF super-featherweight title against Liam Walsh in May 2017.

A recent investment in boxing by TNT Sport – then BT Sport – and Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions had contributed to the move to showcase not only one of the world’s most exciting young fighters but, in his mentor Mayweather – then still an active fighter – one of the world’s very biggest names.

Walsh, then 31 and in his prime, had built his reputation when, in not dissimilar circumstances, in 2011 he defeated Paul Appleby in an exciting fight to launch the often-missed BoxNation.

Walsh was badly hurt in round three

He had since continued to improve into a world-level fighter and, at a time when Davis was yet to truly be tested, was widely considered capable of either dethroning him or, in the event of defeat, proving he was the real thing.

When Davis and Mayweather first flew to London to promote the upcoming fight at the Copper Box Arena, Mayweather, inevitably, had other commitments to fulfil. One involved him charging fans £100 for photos at a speaking engagement having shown up late after prioritising extra sleep. At another date the van his team used was set alight; he was also interviewed by Rio Ferdinand for BT Sport.

Come fight week Davis cut a quiet figure while Mayweather, partly owing to a spat with the composed Walsh, continued to dominate what was unfolding. It was on fight night at the Copper Box that Davis, indifferent to the hostile atmosphere created by the Cromer-based Walsh’s fans, instead finally outshone his attention-seeking promoter by walking to the ring dressed like Michael Jackson to the strains of Beat It, and then by so clinically stopping Walsh in under three rounds.

“I’d rather have got knocked clean out,” Walsh, rescued on his feet by the referee Michael Alexander, told talkSPORT.

“I’d have felt better. [But] in hindsight, looking back, I were never gonna beat him, because my defence weren’t good enough. He hadn’t been down the stretch at that point – he’d knocked [Eusebio] Pedraza out in the seventh [round].

“I was thinking, ‘I can potentially get to him – he’s a young kid – get him frustrated where he’s swinging and getting annoyed’. He was trying to goad me and he was talking to me. He kept going, ‘You’re an amateur; you’re an amateur’.

“He needed more action – he was the star attraction. My mentality was frustrate him, get him swinging – get him a bit wild.

“He might have lost his composure quite easily, and then down the stretch, [I’d] really switch it completely and be really aggressive with him instead – so push him back and bang away at his body. Pull his head down; hit him low; do all the things you need to to try and grind him down.

“But in hindsight, looking back and looking at his career and how he’s gone and seeing his fights, that wouldn’t have happened [even if I’d survived the opening rounds]. What would have happened is I’d have tried switching it, and he’d have punched the fuck out of me. But I’d have rather that. The way it ended didn’t sit right with me for years.

“As a fighter, ‘Just let me get knocked out’. That’s a fighting mentality. At least it’s a full-stop ending. When you’re not completely done, you [still] feel like you’ve got a one per cent chance.”

Mayweather had joined Davis in the ring to give him instructions, pre-fight, even though Davis’ corner was led by his long-term trainer Calvin Ford – a fellow resident of Baltimore and the real-life inspiration for Cutty, the boxing trainer in The Wire. He was also once again the centre of attention at the post-fight press conference, where the likelihood of him fighting Conor McGregor was close to the only topic discussed.

“The first punch buzzed me,” Walsh recalls of the then-22-year-old who so impressively proved his maturity and temperament.

“The next four or five were round the back of the head. He then rushed at me, on the ropes – I’m leaning on the side, my feet are all over the place, my hands are up, punches are scuffing all around me, and Mike Alexander made probably the correct decision. I was probably gonna get absolutely hammered.”

Since that night, and partly because of it, Davis has unquestionably evolved as a fighter. If the mid-fight attempts to unnerve Walsh were something he learned from Mayweather, Davis, who after a gradual deterioration in their relationship split from his then-promoter last year, has become similarly provocative in the build-up to his fights.

“I didn’t get the sense he felt particularly bad about making Ryan [Garcia, whom he beat in 2023] wait,” said Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza of the press conference at which Davis arrived two hours late.

Though Garcia retained a professional exterior, Espinoza witnessed enough to detect that Davis had got under Garcia’s skin. “There was some gamesmanship there – a little bit of mental warfare,” he continued, to talkSPORT.

“This was the first time that these guys had been together in an official setting, so it would not be unusual or unexpected for there to be some psychological warfare, and if making someone wait for an hour was intended to get some sort of reaction…

“This was the first opportunity that either of them had to start positioning, psychologically.

“Ryan was definitely frustrated, as was his team – and rightly so. There was more frustration expressed behind the scenes than was maybe evident to the public – at the amount of time that had passed before he showed up.”

In the end Davis again showed why he is arguably boxing’s draw by dropping his opponent in the seventh round for an impressive win.

Since then he has beaten Frank Martin and will defend his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach in New York City on 1 March.

However, there might not be many more knockouts to look forward to given his retirement plan, with fans having hopes of seeing him share the ring with one of  Vasyl Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson.

Davis had shocked boxing by announcing his intention to walk away from the sport in 2025. Recently, though, he has admitted to re-thinking that decision, admitting it could be more of a break than walking away for good.

Terence Crawford believes he ranks as an all-time great if he can jump up in weight and dethrone Canelo Alvarez.

Crawford has already achieved it all in the boxing ring, winning world titles in four weight classes by the age of 37, including the undisputed crown at super-lightweight and welterweight.

He has faced a resume of tough opponents including Kell Brook, Amir Khan, Shawn Porter and Errol Spence Jr.

But the biggest examination of his ring credentials is set to come this year as he is set to touch gloves with fellow pound-for-pound great Alvarez.

The pair will meet in a blockbuster clash in front of over 60,000 fans in Las Vegas in September, with the fight to take place for Alvarez’s 168lbs belts if he beats William Scull in May.

Crawford is set to put on 14lbs from his previous fighting weight where he took on and beat Israil Madrimov at 154lbs in September.

It will be a seismic task to dethrone the naturally bigger Mexican, but if he successfully does so, he can become a five-weight world champion.

It would see him match boxing legend Floyd Mayweather’s total record of becoming a five-weight world champion in his stellar fifty-fight undefeated career.

And Crawford believes reaching that feat and winning the bout, will see him ranked as a one of the best fighters of all-time.

He said on The Cigar Talk podcast: “Yeah I think I would definitely rank my resume in the top five.

“I’m really moving up three weight classes in all reality, and fighting arguably one of the best Mexicans to ever fight.

“It’s at his weight, no rehydration clause, I am just fighting the guy at his best.

“My body of work that I have put together, I feel like I can compete with anybody at any era.

“If I win this fight, it will solidify myself as an all-time great because there isn’t many fighters who have done what I did.

“Coming from 135lbs to 168lbs it is crazy.”

Crawford will have put on a total of 33lbs of fighting weight during his stellar career.

Floyd Mayweather vs. Terence Crawford Post Draws “Murder” Prediction in  Boxing's Heated Debate - EssentiallySports

Mayweather fought from 130lbs to 154lbs, a total pile on of 24lbs, which could see the new American on the block make a frightening leap.

Of course it could dramatically backfire given Crawford could feasibly lose, given it will be his debut at the higher weight.

It is still a difficult fight to pick the winner, imposing an intriguing clash of styles on fight night.

But ex-world champion Johnny Nelson doesn’t expect Crawford to be able to bridge the gap.

He told talkSPORT.com: “Yeah I think the weight and size will play a big impact in the fight.

“I think Canelo will simply be too big and too strong for him if Crawford puts on the weight.

“I think Canelo is a really clever fighter, but I’m not sure he was the fighter he once was five or six years ago.

“I think that Canelo beats Crawford to be honest, if not stops him because of that gulf in size.

“But whatever happens it is going to be a great fight, we are getting the fights between big name A and big name B.

“It is giving fight fans the opportunity for fight fans to think of dream fights and then see them become reality.”

Gervonta Davis and Floyd Mayweather have had a turbulent relationship.

Boxing legend Mayweather guided ‘Tank’ during the majority of his career, as Davis won world titles in multiple weight divisions and became widely regarded as one of the most exciting fighters in the sport.

The two then parted ways in 2022, and things have seemingly turned hostile since then, with both men having fired insults in the opposite direction in the years that have followed.

Davis has now revealed that his former mentor Mayweather once put him in a fight where he wanted ‘Tank’ to lose, explaining to The Jay Hill Podcast how things transpired.

“I’ve been in situations where I was in a lose-lose situation and came out still on top. He [Mayweather] put me in to make me lose and thought I would lose. A boxing match. Jose Pedraza. My first world title. I was 16-0 and I was 21 at the time and I hadn’t fought in seven, eight months.

Around that time I wasn’t making that much. Maybe around 10,000 a fight. Six months is crazy to not fight. When they came back and said you’ve got to fight this fighter Pedraza, If you don’t fight him you’re not fighting and sitting on the shelf.

I had to fight him, in the midst of all that happening, I got evicted, I had to sell my jewellery.

For sure [Floyd did that intentionally].”

Davis fought Pedraza back in January 2017, winning the fight by seventh round stoppage to capture the IBF super-featherweight title and become world champion for the first time.

‘Tank’ returns to action in March when he defends his WBA lightweight crown against Lamont Roach, but another recently crowned world champion is already calling to face Davis next.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER is hosting a WEEK’S worth of birthday celebrations in Miami – costing £4million.

The boxing legend turns 48 on Monday, February 24 and it will mark the end of seven days worth of partying.

According to TMZ, Mayweather is spending $5m (£4m) on a series of bashes in Miami starting on Monday, February 17.

The American and 400 of his closest family and friends travelled to South Beach to celebrate his 48th.

He is said to have put up his pals in fancy hotels throughout Miami Beach.Floyd Mayweather

Beach parties, an ATV tour, roller-skating – one of Mayweather’s favourite hobbies – and bowling fill up the itinerary.

Mayweather is an avid skater and even owns his own Las Vegas rink – Skate Rock City.

The 50-0 legend will also throw an event at a local mansion as well as on a yacht.

And he appeared to confirm the wild plans by posting online: “Come party with me for my birthday Miami!”

Mayweather officially retired in 2017 after victory over UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 36.

 

Floyd Mayweather posted a picture of his tax bill following his Super Bowl party in Las Vegas.

Floyd Mayweather once revealed a picture of his staggering tax bill after an outrageous Super Bowl party.

The 2025 Super Bowl is just days away as the Philadelphia Eagles meet the Kansas City Chiefs at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

The Chiefs the are defending champions, having raised the Vince Lombardi Trophy in last year’s Super Bowl.

They beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in Las Vegas, with a host of celebrities in attendance at the Allegiant Stadium.

Mayweather purchased a suite to watch the 2024 Super Bowl with 34 friends.Floyd Mayweather

And he posted a bill of the suite, revealing a whopping cost of $1,131,000.00.

On Instagram, he wrote: “I don’t kiss ass and I never have to beg for nothing especially not to get a Super Bowl suite. I don’t mind accepting invites at times, but one things for sure… The person that’s paying does all the saying.

“Therefore I get My Own seats and suites so I can do what I want and invite who I want! I’m blessed to be taking 34 people to experience the 1st Super Bowl in Las Vegas! $1,131,000.00.”

Despite only facing Aaron Chalmers and John Gotti III in 2023, Mayweather was hit with an enormous tax bill as he took to social media to reveal his staggering bill, which amounted to over $18 million.

“Just before I paid that light million and change for that little Super Bowl stuff, I had to pay the IRS aka Uncle Sam $18,047,181,” he shared on Instagram.Floyd Mayweather

“This is what I owed in taxes while I’m retired so just imagine what I was paying when I was activated.”

They don’t call him ‘Money’ for nothing.

Mayweather made an incredible fortune during his legendary professional boxing career, beating the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez.
