Floyd Mayweather Jr. got emotional on Sunday as he delivered his speech during the Boxing Hall of Fame induction for the class of 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Mayweather couldn’t hold back his tears while reflecting on the journey that paved the way for him to become a boxing icon. He also paid tribute to his dad who helped him succeed in the industry and supported him throughout his legendary career.
“I said that I wouldn’t cry. This is unbelievable. This is one of the best days of my life,” Mayweather shared. “I love my dad because without him this wouldn’t be possible for me.”
Floyd Mayweather may have had his fair share of detractors and critics in his 21 years in professional boxing, but there is no doubt he’s one of the best to ever step foot on the ring. His 50-0 record speaks volumes on his greatness, no matter what people say about it.
Mayweather retired in 2017, with his last professional fight being against Conor McGregor. Throughout his boxing stint that saw him win belts in the super-featherweight up to light-middleweight, he went against and beat the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez to name a few.
The 45-year-old headlined the Hall of Fame induction that also features Wladimir Klitschko, Andre Ward, Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Hopkins, Christy Martin and Laila Ali among others.
