Undefeated Floyd “Money” Mayweather says he’s only going to fight five more times, which means the fastest boxer of all times is about to call it quits.
But first he will fight Canelo Alvarez, who some say has the best chance since Oscar De La Hoya to beat Mayweather. This should be the fight that will lay to rest the rumors that Mayweather picks opponents that he knows he can beat.
“If I have chosen 44 opponents at the right time, then I had the right team,'” Mayweather said. “It means I was smart with my career.”
At 36 years old, Mayweather has been fighting professionally for 17 years. He has stepped into the ring 44 times and 44 times his hands were raised at the end of the fight.
Alvarez is sporting an undefeated record too, but he has not fought the caliber of opponents that Mayweather has.
