While Floyd Mayweather has solidified his place as one of the greatest boxers of all time, the last man to beat him has gone down a very different road. At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the pound-for-pound great, who was just 19 at the time, suffered a loss that left him both tearful, yet motivated to never feel that way again.

“The Golden Boy” wants his former opponent to be done with boxing. Floyd Mayweather competed last weekend (Sat., Aug. 24, 2024) in an absolutely abysmal exhibition boxing rematch (yes, rematch) against John Gotti III.

Andre Dirrell scolded Devin Haney on social media, criticizing him for posing and copying Floyd Mayweather Jr. with his bodyguards in some hero worship. The 2004 Olympic bronze medalist Dirrell says Haney (31-0, 15 KOs) needs to stop copying Floyd Mayweather Jr. and walking around with bodyguards. Dirrell sees Haney’s use of bodyguards as a sign that he’s an impersonator type who admires someone so much that he adopts his lifestyle.

Promoter Leonard Ellerbe favors Canelo Alvarez, asking for $200 million to fight against David Benavidez. He doesn’t feel that Canelo (61-2-2, 39 KOs) is asking for too much, and he thinks that the fight with Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) would generate enough money to cover the $200M purse for the Mexican star.
