Floyd Mayweather Jr is a former professional boxer from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mayweather comes from a family of boxers; his father and uncles were all involved in boxing.

He decided to drop out of high school to box professionally and earned the nickname “Pretty Boy” because of the little scars he got from boxing resulting from his effective use of his orthodox defense style.
