Mayweather destroys Corrales, 2001

Mayweather becomes a superstar by beating De La Hoya, 2007

Mayweather moved to 154lbs in 2007 as he looked to become the face of boxing by beating Oscar De La Hoya.

Undoubtedly one of the toughest tests of his career, Mayweather was pushed all the way before securing a split decision win over the Golden Boy.

Pacquiao victory finally happens

After taking years to finally agree a deal, Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao finally stepped into the ring in 2015.

With both fighters past their best, it was Mayweather who had more left as he raced to a points victory in a major event that failed to deliver in the ring.
