    Floyd Mayweather reveals he only had FIVE ‘tough’ fights in entire career as Conor McGregor and Canelo Alvarez snubbed

    by

    FLOYD MAYWEATHER can count on one hand the amount of tough fights he had during his legendary career. Money officially retired in 2017 at 50-0 – a record that is yet to be matched – with world titles in FIVE different weights.Floyd Mayweather at the LA Lakers vs Orlando Magic gameCredit: GettyUp until his final bout – against UFC star Conor McGregor – the American beat 15 champions in a row. But he named Emanuel Augustus – who famously adopted the Drunken Master technique – as one of his toughest fights. Mayweather beat Augustus in 2000 but credited the unorthodox showboater as one of his hardest opponents alongside Miguel Cotto. He told FightHype: “I probably had six tough fights, if that, probably five tough fights.READ MORE IN boxing “Cotto was a tough fight, Emmanuel Augustus was tough, Cotto you know he was tough.”[I can name] those two that I can name off the top of my head, probably a few other fights but we got through it.”Augustus would act drunk during fights, prancing awkwardly around the ring to try and throw off his opponents. And even Mayweather struggled to cope with Augustus’ unusual style in their bout – which he won on points.

Cotto retired in 2017 after an iconic career just months after Mayweather’s final bout. Mayweather – who beat Canelo Alvarez in 2013 – left the sport as the richest boxer of all time – boasting of earnings over £1BILLION.Around half of that was made for his pair of wins over Manny Pacquiao and McGregor.The Pacquiao fight was over five years in the making and resulted in Mayweather outfoxing his great rival over the distance.

Because of his movement.”But he’s a helluva’ fighter and I can see why he won so many fights and I can see why he’s going down as a Hall of Famer, it’s just certain moves that he made.”But the roughest fighter probably was a guy named Emanuel Augustus. The Drunken Master. He was tough.”And Miguel Cotto was very, very physically strong. So, you’ve got different fighters, different days you feel different ways.”So some days you can go over there and you may not feel that good but you go over there and feel superb.”Read More on The SunMayweather – snubbing McGregor from any list of tough fights – continues to box in exhibition bouts after retiring.

      Awkward moment UFC icon Khabib Nurmagomedov snubs Kate Abdo’s handshake for religious reasons live on TV

      THIS is the awkward moment UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov refused to shake the hand of CBS Sports presenter Kate Abdo.Abdo was working for the broadcaster alongside the terrible trio of Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards for the Champions League final in Munich.Kate Abdo was involved in an awkward exchange with Khabib Nurmagomedov live on TVCredit: X @CBSSportsGolazoAbdo was snubbed by a handshake from the UFC legend for religious reasonsCredit: X @CBSSportsGolazoAbdo was joined in show by usual suspects Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards.Credit: X/CBSSportsGolazoThe match ended in a record-breaking defeat as Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Inter Milan 5-0.The quartet was joined by special guests Khabib Nurmagomedov, and streamer IShowSpeed immediately after the final whistle.Nurmagomedov embraced each member of the crew before Abdo, 43, held out her hand in a greeting.However, the unbeaten UFC star declined the offer by holding his hand on his chest instead, with Abdo quickly reclining it and offering an apology as she welcomed him to the show.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe reason for this is due to the 36-year-old’s religious beliefs as a devout Sunni Muslim.In Islam, it is a forbidden to touch a member of the opposite sex that they are not related to.A similar incident occurred back in 2020 with fellow MMA fighter Cynthia Calvillo, who revealed that Nurmagomedov refused to directly train with her.She explained to theScore: “It’s a little bit weird because of their religion… they won’t train with women.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK”(Khabib) is still showing technique and stuff like that.

Love that from both of them.”Once that hurdle was cleared, Abdo asked the retired UFC fighter who he was supporting tonight, revealing he was there in support of PSG – despite him previously describing himself as a Real Madrid fan.In another crossover that nobody would have had on their Champions League bingo card, IShowSpeed was playfully confronted by Nurmagomedov about them possibly having a race or fight.Carragher, who hilariously tried resorting to cheating when he lost a race against Speed – real name Darren Hawkins – asked Nurmagomedov: “Do you think you could beat Speed in a fight or a race?”Nurmagomedov said he would be humble and conceded that Speed had the better of him in running, but declared he could easily outdo him in football IQ, before joking: “Don’t forget, between us there is nobody right now.”Abdo then suggested that Richards, ever the brunt of a few jokes on the show, was the “arm wrestling champion” of CBS.However, before the presenter – who married boxer Malik Scott last year – could finish her sentence, the ex-England international said: “No thank you.”Before the match itself, Abdo was subbed out of presenting duties by colleague Anita Nneka Jones, joking she had “other friends waiting for me tonight”.As Henry, Richards and Carragher groaned, Abdo pointed at Jones and added: “Look who’s coming!”Carra shouted “Anita!” before screaming as footage showed Abdo’s pals David Beckham and Tom Cruise hanging out the Allianz Arena.Abdo then waved as she walked off set, adding: “Bye, bye, bye.”Richards asked “Is it a substitution then?” – with Abdo pausing.Read More on The SunThe former Manchester City star then guffawed as Peter Schmeichel held the fourth official’s board to announce the substitution.Richards turned to Jones and bellowed: “Finally some real funny in the studio.” More
