    Floyd went 84-6 as an amatuer I believe.

    He got a fukin bronze. Why you think he had to call himself Pretty boy? Oscar is/was his idol and is the golden boy, Floyd couldn't bare to go with the Bronze Boy, so he opted for Pretty boy instead.

    Questions such as these highlight Mayweather's greatness.

    Pacquiao,"undefeated" in 15 fights.... He's good(now).

    Mayweather,"did he lose in the amateurs or olympics"....He's great(forever).

    Could have been. Golden Boy was his M.O but the bronze medal fuked it up for him. They started callin him Bronze boy and it drove him nuts so he searched his heart for the next best thing and Pretty Boy was born.

    Augie was a good fighter, suffered a few bad knock outs, including the famous and brutal one against Naz,and had to retire young.

    Only about 24 when he retired.

    Wrong. He was called Pretty Boy by his team mates because he would never get touched up in the ring and his face remained pretty.:deal
