    Can you make a list of the more impressive undefeated records? I would love to see them.

      Naaaaa, his resume is pretty solid, certainly not close too being the least impressive undefeated record ever. Remember his career isn't over as well, you're comparing him while he's fighting too boxers who have retired, Mayweather still has a few fights left in him, there's not many boxers who have been 44-0 at some point in their career and can match his resume.

        Lots and lots of stand-out amateur heavyweight champs......

        Audley Harrison
        Tyrell Biggs
        Jorge Luis Gonzalez
        Alex Dimintrenko
        Franco Damiani
        Pete Rademacher
        Henry Tilman
        Paolo Vidoz
        John Tate - ok, but could have done much more

          I think Paul Spadafora takes that honor.

            Audley Harrison.

            Not necessarily by the fans, but as a British gold medallist - heavyweight - and vocal, he ticked all the boxes for the BBC who wanted to bring boxing back to the licence fee funded channel after 15 years.

            After 17 fights and numerous attempts to persuade him to fight a higher standard of opposition the £1million contract that they'd given him for the first ten fights was looking like licence payers money down the pan.

            When the hype backfired it had a big influence in the channel scrapping it's coverage of boxing all together in 2008.

              Are you f*ing kidding me?

              Ever hear of Edwin Valero?

              Mayweather's beaten two ATGs and three borderline ATGs.

                If you're talking seriously about worst undefeated careers, you can start with Ed "Too Tall" Jones.

                  I guess I was talking about boxers, not sideshows.
