Did floyd mayweather junior ever get knocked down on the canvas in his career

Question

do you think he retired at the right age

Answer 1

no and they won't because PBF is the BEST FIGHTER EVER, and haters don't want to give him credit for it so ***** THEM ALL!

Answer 2

No he did go down the one time and got a count but not through a punch as he never got hit.... He went down on one knee in pain as he broke his hand in that fight and many believe that was the fight he lost but had a broken hand...won the rematch also easy the than the 1st time when ok .

But i did watch a fight where he did get put down in one fight but they never gave it his gloves touched down clearly but the 3rd man waved it on as a slip...He won the fight it was the late Diego Corrales fight as he hit Floyd but never gave it. Not that it would of change the fight i dont think as  he went down about 6 time in this fight.....RIP D C

Answer 3

He ran away from anyone that tried to hit him. I'm happy I don't have to see that little r****d on ESPN anymore. I wish he would try MMA once though. He'd get beat up.

Answer 4

i don't think he should retire he beat Ricky Hatton so easy  

Answer 5

Well, Carlos Hernandez technically knocked him down.  Floyd hurt his hand really badly in that fight and he touched the canvas to get a little breather- standing 8 count.  Hernandez didn't actually knock him down because he didn't punch him to the canvas, but technically he did knock him down because Floyd touched the ground.  There was also his fight with Zab Judah where Zab caught him with a good shot and Floyd did touch the canvas, but the referee didn't see it clearly so he didn't rule a knockdown.

As far as if I think he retired at the right age- it depends.  If he wants to be remembered as a great fighter at the lighter weights, then I think he's done more than enough to secure that legacy.  However, if he wants to be remembered as a great fighter at welterweight and be considered one of the best of all time, then I don't think he's done enough.  At welterweight, I believe that if he fought and beat Antonio Margarito or Paul Williams, then he would have nothing more to accomplish because the other guys in the division are not worth his time.  But, when he was the champ at welterweight, he never fought the number 1 contender, instead he fought Oscar De La Hoya at junior middleweight, and then he fought Ricky Hatton who is really a junior welterweight.  I'd like to see him face the number 1 guy right now at welterweight because I believe that would secure his legacy as an all-time great fighter at ANY weight division.  In short, he left too much unfinished business at 147 pounds, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have time to finish that business.  I firmly believe that Floyd will come out of retirement, but he won't do it right away.  He'll wait for the top guys to wear themselves out and then he'll come back, very refreshed, and fight the number one guy and he'll most likely beat him.  Sugar Ray Leonard did the same thing when he came out of retirement to face Marvin Hagler.  Hagler had wanted to fight Leonard for years, but Sugar Ray did the "smart" thing by letting him wait and get worn out by having wars with guys like Thomas Hearns and John Mugabi.  Leonard came out or retirement refreshed and was able to beat Hagler in a close fight; I think Mayweather is going to borrow a page from the Leonard bood of strategy and come out retirment in a few years to fight the number 1 guy.

Answer 6

first off, yes pbf was a defensive figher, and fought going backwards ALOT, but I bet none of you fuks would stand and get hit if you could avoid them, yeah he fought a little pussish sometimes but anyway, I know in the Judah fight his glove touched the canvas and that should be a knock down but that's the only one that I know of, didn't know that anybody was ever creditied for knocking him down, but I happy somebody did.

Answer 7

His glove touched the canvas a few times but he never got floored.

Answer 8

who cares the dude is scared to fight now he dont wanna lose so he retires so he can stay undefeated  

Answer 9

Well yes and no, Carlos Hernandez is credited with knocking him down, but It was more that Mayweather had broke his hands on Hernandez head and when he reared back his glove touched the canvass and the ref counted it as a knock down.

Demarcus Corley nearly knocked him down, He wobbled Floyd into the ropes, in fact the ropes are what kept Mayweather from going down but the ref did not call it so it was not scored a knockdown. Mayweather was not hurt just a little shaken and off balance.
