Floyd Mayweather never tasted defeat within the ring during his legendary 50-0 boxing profession.
‘The Best Ever’ was almost pretty much as good at trash-talking as he was fighting, but a couple of opponents got the higher of him on the mic.
UFC superstar Conor McGregor terrorized him during a four-city press tour ahead of their fight in 2017.
Floyd Mayweather got his payback with a 15-punch combination to secure a tenth-round TKO win.
That’s the identical round ‘Money’ stopped Ricky Hatton once they fought in Las Vegas on December 8, 2007.

The Roast of Floyd Mayweather
Floyd Mayweather bravely traveled to Ricky Hatton’s backyard to advertise their 39-0 vs 43-0 fight.
The American didn’t know what to do when his opponent began cracking jokes for his hometown crowd.
“I’ve missed my son, my six-year-old son, but I probably haven’t missed him quite as much as you’ll think because I’ve had the misfortune to spend the total week with one other f—ing six-year-old,” Hatton said as a room stuffed with Englishmen laughed and cheered.
“Floyd’s gonna run away all night – he says he isn’t, but he’s – he’s gonna run away all night.
“I do know I’m gonna should be fast on my feet to catch him.
“So I’ve got two wonderful sparring partners coming in – Forrest Gump and Carl Lewis.”
Mayweather tried to fight back together with his words, and when that didn’t work, he simply chuckled along.
Ultimately, he got the last laugh by stopping Hatton in front of 30,000 Brits who traveled across the pond for his or her fight.
