Floyd, although undefeated at 49-0 against some of the most seasoned boxers in the game, it does not mean he is untouchable.
Although Floyd is arguably the best technical and strategic boxer the world has ever seen, it doesn't make him immortal. So I've done a compilation of the 5 times Floyd got ROCKED.
#5. Maidana - May 3, 2014
This was the epitome of the saying "saved by the bell" Maidana absolutely rocks Floyd seconds before the bell rings. The break allowed Floyd to regather himself and go on to win the bout.
#4. Genaro Hernandez - October 3, 1998
In the middle of a reckless and wild exchange between the two fighters, Mayweather hits the deck. Keep in mind this fight happened in 1998 - Nearly 20 years ago. It just goes to show how hard you actually have to look to find flaws in Mayweathers skill in the ring. Floyd still clearly dominated the entire fight.
#3. Zab Judah - April 8, 2006
Judah was able to lad multiple lethal blows throughout his historic bout with Mayweather, although he didn't win the fight, he can take pride in being one of the very first to put up a dangerous and deadly challenge to the undefeated Mayweather.
#2. Shane "Sugar" Mosely - May 1, 2010
I've heard people call Mayweather all the names under the sun but one thing you cannot call this guy is heartless. Throughout the Mayweather/Mosely battle, we saw Floyd take some of the biggest hits he has ever received in his career.
Their bout is one of my favorite in boxing history and I recommend it to everyone!
#1. DeMarcus Corley - May 22, 2004
The hardest i've seen floyd hit. Absolutely rocked. Although DeMarcus didn't win the fight. The pride he has knowing he's been the hardest hitting challenge Mayweather has faced, will live on forever.
