Former boxing legend Floyd Mayweather named himself the Face of Boxing and explained why he did so.

Mayweather who had fifty career fights is still to be matched by any fighter or overtaken. Apart from flooring some big names in the ring, the legend made more money than any one ever did in boxing.

Speaking to The Pivot, Mayweather said the following:

‘I’m not knocking any fighters, this ain’t hating, but they still talk about me.

‘Really, I’m still the face of boxing, even though you have certain individuals that want to throw shots and hate because that comes with the territory.’

His explanation was as follows:

‘I’m appreciative for guys like Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard. They paved the way for me.

‘But there is only one “Money Mayweather”. I beat more world champions than any fighter in history.’

Many believe that Tyson Fury should have the title.
