Floyd Mayweather is back!!!!!

Floyd Mayweather was born Floyd Joy Sinclair in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with his mother's last name.[3] His last name would change to Mayweather shortly thereafter. His father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., is a former welterweight contender. One of his uncles, Jeff Mayweather, is a former IBO super featherweight champion. Another uncle, former two-division world champion Roger Mayweather, is Mayweather, Jr.'s current trainer. Floyd attended Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills High School. Amateur career
Mayweather had a successful amateur career of 84-6.[4] He won national Golden Gloves championships in 1993 (at 106 lb), 1994 (at 114 lb), and 1996 (at 125 lb).[5] He was given the nickname "Pretty Boy" by his amateur teammates because his face never had cuts or bruises after fights—a result of the defensive techniques that his father (Floyd Mayweather Sr.) and uncle (Roger Mayweather) had taught him.[6] In his orthodox defensive stance, Mayweather—much like James Toney—often utilizes the 'shoulder roll'. The shoulder roll is an old-school boxing technique in which the right hand is held normally or slightly higher than normal, the left hand is down around the midsection, and the lead shoulder is raised high on the cheek in order to cover the chin and block punches. The right hand (from orthodox stance) is used as it normally would be to block punches coming from the other side, such as left hooks. From this stance, Mayweather blocks, slips, and deflects most of his opponents' punches, even when cornered, by twisting left and right to the rhythm of their punches.[7] Return to Welterweight
Press Conference in NYC for the forthcoming fightMayweather decided to relinquish his WBC junior middleweight championship [3] and kept his WBC welterweight championship. On July 28, 2007, it was announced that Mayweather would come out of his short retirement to fight light welterweight champion Ricky Hatton which was promoted by Oscar De La Hoya's promotion company Golden Boy Promotions and Floyd Mayweather's "Mayweather Promotions." The bout was labelled "Undefeated" and took place on December 8, 2007, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada. In the build up to their fight, Mayweather claimed that he is the greatest boxer ever, saying: "I respect what Robinson and Ali did for the sport. But I am the greatest, and this is my time." [4]
Hatton was very aggressive early and controlled the tempo of the fight. Several observers, including the HBO announcers, thought that Hatton appeared to have the upper-hand for the first couple of rounds, because he was extremely aggressive in chasing Mayweather around the ring, however, it was Mayweather who landed most of the clean punches as Hatton could not hit Mayweather with anything significant, and the official judges scored these early rounds for Floyd. Mayweather soon adjusted to Hatton's style after the first couple of rounds and started having success pot-shotting Hatton with stiff left and right hands. Mayweather landed a straight right hand that opened a cut over Hatton's right eye in round three. Hatton had brief success in the first minute of round four as he continued to apply pressure, but Mayweather landed some clean shots that hurt Hatton as the round progressed. Hatton had a stronger round five as he attempted to punish Mayweather on the ropes. Still, many of Hatton's shots were deflected or just plain missed. In the next round, referee Joe Cortez took a point from Hatton for hitting Mayweather on the back of the head even though when played back Hatton actually hit the ropes instead of Mayweathers head. Mayweather had a big round eight landing many clean, devastating shots and continued to pull away by outboxing Hatton in the ninth round as Hatton began to wear down. Mayweather closed the show in round ten, starting when he caught Hatton coming in with a check hook that sent him crashing head first against the padding of the corner post and flat on the canvas. Hatton got to his feet at the count of eight, and when he got up, Mayweather quickly capitalized and took advantage throwing in a couple of more shots to the face. Hatton, still dazed, took a step back and fell back down. At that moment, Joe Cortez called a halt to the action at the same time Hatton's corner threw in the towel.
After the fight, Mayweather said that Hatton was one of the toughest fighters he had ever fought, that he just kept coming and coming. Mayweather later announced that he will take a two-year layoff from boxing.He then referred to the punch that knocked Hatton out as the check hook. The greatest punch in the world of boxing.[24]
He is currently in the works for a rematch against Oscar De la Hoya, this time having his father to train De la Hoya. Although many boxing experts advise De la Hoya not to take the fight, he will try to overcome the odds and defeat Mayweather. !
