Floyd Mayweather, Sr.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. deserves more discussion than he usually gets. Born in Amory, Mississippi, in 1952, he fought professionally as a welterweight from 1973 to 1990, prized for his defensive skill and deep grasp of ring strategy. His record has its shadows, but I judge him chiefly as the trainer who forged the undefeated phenomenon that is his son. Passing on the technical craft that built a world champion is no small feat. I'm drawn to that defense-first, connoisseur's philosophy of boxing, and I respect this lineage of fighters who treat the sport as a true craft.
