Unique in being nearly as fit and alert as when he entered the ring two decades ago, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., comes from an exceptional boxing lineage; his father went up against Sugar Ray Leonard, and his uncle was a world champion in two categories. Despite this pedigree, he grew up in a challenging environment in which drugs played a devastating role.
In the early 1990s, Mr. Mayweather established a superb amateur record that included three Golden Gloves. He worked on an unorthodox defensive strategy with his uncle, focusing on a stance that provided effective blocking of opponents’ punches. At the same time, he took advantage of speed to slip away from opponents and deflect their blows. This work paid off in 1994, when Floyd Mayweather, Jr., earned a bronze medal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. This actually represented a rare loss for the American, who missed the gold medal round on a controversial decision involving points.
