## Current results (no votes yet)

1. **Floyd Mayweather**
   The 50-0 record is real; the argument is about how many of the fifty were taken at the right time.

   Eight divisions and eight losses, including one knockout that ended a fight he was winning.
3. **Mike Tyson**

   Marketed as the next Mayweather and beaten every time he stepped up.

   Olympic medallist with fast hands and a chin that kept ending his biggest nights.
